The 49ers New Coach: Jim Harbaugh

Jim Harbaugh stands as new head coach of the 49ers. He got placed to this role by bringing a Stanford football team from 1-11 to 12-1 and also brought home the Orange Bowl.

He works with teams a lot and shows them how to work as a team.    He takes teams that our low and takes them to a higher level through a combination of strategy, teamwork, and self belief.

I think he will take the 49ers to first place in the Division, and more, and claim his position of  a great NFL head coach!

We think Harbaugh will be successful. Why?  Because he's shown that he takes everyone to a higher rank.  Alex Smith has a been a huge disappointment in San Francisco since he was drafted in 2005, but he certainly has talent. Good arm and successful accuracy and throw. He has underperformed because he has never been in a system where he could be successful.  Jim Harbaugh will put that system in place. Where everyone knows his roles. Where being average is not tolerated, where everyone is a team player or he's not on the team.

Instead of saying, OK, we're not great at passing, we're going to play "smashmouth football" and run over people.  The problem, with that approach is that all defenses knew Frank Gore was getting the ball,  and when they stopped him, Smith had to face blitz after blitz. This is not a way to make some one great! No, Jim Haubaugh would will be more intelligent, with a better idea of how to run an offense. He'll say, OK, i'm going to work with you on an offense that makes the Defense uncertain, that mixes passing plays and running plays, creates mismatches, and make the most out of talent you have.  They had Brian Westbrook last year, and managed almost to never get the ball! What a waste!  Harbaugh would have make sure he was a key, player, and that would have made Gore more successful, not less!

He will also inspire confidence in his players. He'll say "I'm going to work with you so you can  get far- so you can be a better quarterback than I was when I was in the NFL.  He will instill a belief in that he QB will always hit his target.

Sit back and watch, Jim Harbaugh will take the 49ers on a journey that they will never forget!
