Interesting note....not sure where to put this, so my apologies for posting it in this thread; not sure if anyone has friends or knows someone that can help confirm this or has read/heard any reports that can verify this....and it's not good news for ND....I have a friend who is very close friends with a woman who works in the administration side of the 49er's front office....To no one's surprise, my friend told me that Harbaugh is considered to be pretty much gone after the season; that the rift between Harbaugh and the organization goes from veteran players all the way into front office....who cares, right? Well, ND fans should. Apparently, the 49er's are putting out "feeler's" for BK's interest in leaving ND and coming to the pro's....From what I was told, is that the front office and veteran players like his in-game intensity, but that he keeps a laid-back demeanor off the field, has a proven winning record as a coach, and that they are afraid that if they don't put out the "feeler's first, they may lose him to another team in the NFL....So take this as a grain of salt....but apparently the "feeler's" are out there on BK and the 49er's are supposedly quietly doing this...also, for what it's worth, it was noted by my friend that because San Fran is a very liberal (politically, speaking) city, they wanted a coach that is very liberal....I personally have no clue what BK's political stance is, but I vaguely remember reading a few years ago that his wife used to be involved in politically liberal causes during his Cincy days....don't quote me on that tho.....Hope someone on here can help dis-spell this or find out more to confirm it....??? Again, apologies for posting this here, just not sure where to post it...Havent been on here in years and after I heard this news, I remembered this forum and thought maybe one of you here "might be in the know" and could clear this up or if this type oif stuff happens all the time and is nothing to be worried about or what.....
