How Jim Harbaugh's 49ers plummeted from the cusp of Super Bowl glory to rock bottom 

You're so right. And it'll always hurt lol

Harbaughs team loved him. He was beefing with the suits and ownership.

Heart breaking

Baalke just screwed it up, probably would have been bettegiving Harbaugh the GM role as well. Some bad luck with injuries and retirements also had the wheels coming off

Same in college apparently. Wonder why that is?​@divinedelaware7541

Why does no one remember that! I kept telling people that was a straight fumble but every one denies it or dont recall that part of the game.

did not the 49'er get the ball right back on the next play?

We stop them on 3rd down. Marshall lynch fumble and that is how we stop the TD but Bowman was gone.

Pointless as the 9ers got the ball the next play

Kevin Anderson huh?

⚡️

Let’s go ! ⚡️

he has Herbert this time around

We don’t know how good we had it until he left

Matt LaFleur has joined the chat

Harbaugh was good. No doubt, but he is no where near the best, that honor would go to Vince Lombardi. I have no idea how Vince took a team, in a small city, and make them champions.

@@acepaul407 also obviously have to throw in Belichick's name. maintaining that kind of success over such a long time is unreal

@@acepaul407 it's called no free agency and 30 round drafts. No disrespect to Lombardi but he wouldn't pull that off in this era

That's pretty much spot on.

It’s accurate.

Boston Hunter “Look on the Bright Side.You still have Aldon Smith. That dude is a beast. If he can keep clean he-“ “God Fucking Damnit!” 😂😂

Did he? I need a good laugh I am not at all confident in York I pray for the day he's fired and sent to Alcatraz for the 2015 off season he pulled out of his fucking ass

Boston Hunter SAME

GONE

Boston Hunter "I mean, you signed guys. Like Torrey Smith! Whose main strength is, "GO DEEP"! On a team with shitty quarterbacks."

They actually did the kings

I want to know about the Islanders

I’d like to see in-depth review of the Steelers failures while having the best receiver, the best running back and one of the best quarterbacks

collaspes that are interesting 2010's sharks 2010's falcons steelers following the 1979 super bowl 2010's texans 1970's rams early 2010's kings and blackhawks (both teams are irelavant now)

I'm a niner fan but got love for the Colts. It would be SF vs Indy in the super bowl this or next year if Luck didn't retire

Lolo's Convos cap the AFC is way too powerful

What do you think the AFC thought until Peyton Manning and then Tom Brady and now Mahomes were drafted. It’s just a new era

its gonna be real exicting watching that team

And to think Kyle Shanahhan could be on the hot seat next season if he doesn't qualify for the playoffs. York doesn't want to stain his reputation on pulling the plug once more.

I like the thought of that...👍🏻

And Kaepernick voted for Trump 😂

And Jeff Fisher was a good coach.

Wizards in the Mist yea they did it in my madden 15 franchise 😔

More San Francisco trophies !!

Lol love this

Absolutely, thanks for pointing out this often overlooked point.

Seahawks FFS

💯 facts

Exactly, Harbaugh got TOO much credit for some GREAT players who made up a GREAT defense BEFORE he got there...Harbaugh was a qb and was NOT a defensive coordinator.....His credit goes to starting Kaepernick, although, again WITHOUT the defense, he looked extremely average...His body of work at Michigan has shown him to be a very AVERAGE developer of talent.....

I'm afraid we have a new world record set by the Houston texans.

Wish we had that defense in 2011 with this offense.

MotleyStu10 88 same brother /:

It doesn’t hurt as much because we’ve got a lot of new pieces now...but it still hurts

We all knew it was coming the pain is real though, that team was insane, can’t believe we didn’t win a Superbowl

Very gruesome, indeed... I was glad that he was able to walk ok, after healing from that.

And the refs cheated and said he didn't have possession after they had already been cheating the whole game 😤😫😥

@@cainmarko584 give it a rest. You get 5 years to be salty, and then that is it! I speak from experience, regarding this (Super Bowl XL, mate...) So please, just STFU already.

@@insertcolorfulmetaphor8520 I remember that. Refs had to apologize the next day. I felt like the Mavs got cheated that year in the Finals too.

@@insertcolorfulmetaphor8520 he doesn't sound salty. looks to me he is just stating a fact. you can't look at that game and come away with a different take if you are being honest and objective.

In fairness to ownership, I think they learned from how the Harbaugh situation ended and have handled their relationship with Kyle and John much better.

You can't do nothing about the owners. But Jed York had many of the same crossroads decisions that his uncle had. I maintained faith in him though. As long as you have Jed York running things, niners will come back. I mean his uncle wanted to fire Bill Walsh and Joe Montana at one point.

@E93 Sports. Piggybacking off your comments, we fail to also acknowledge the fact that the 2011 season was going to be a lockout year. Harbaugh didn't have a lot of time to get acquainted with the team. Alex Smith took Harbaugh's playbook, studied it, and lead the team during most of that offseason, up through camp, learning the new schemes and plays.

I think everyone thought it was going to be Ravens Steelers esqe rivalry wise for the next decade plus.

Kaep sucks lol. He compared nfl combine to slavery. Truly pathetic

Jesus Barrera they couldn’t get past the lob

Yeah that's insane

You can actually thank Mike Singletary for that. Why you ask? Because he was the one that started that stifle defense and get those 4 pro line backs. He made the defense before Jim ever got there. Mike was a NFL player himself and was a defense of linebacker. That is where he got his smarts at for defense. I thought 49ERS should have kept him but on the defense of part.

Hey Ppl he was before becoming hc

NFC West had stacked defense in that day

It is like he has tried to stay away. We should try to force a sale of the team!

That’s why I call him Jed Dork

@@fixedstare he might if shannahan goes to the nfc championship game 3 straight times.

As a Niners fan living in Seattle. It was really hard to put the jersey on each week knowing all the shit I would have to endure for the day.

maroccomo I feel for u man. Seahawks fans are fucking toxic and trashy. I live in Los Angeles and I used to get tons of shit from all the bandwagon Seahawks fans. Back then for whatever reason everyone was a fake fan.

George Moreno I don’t think we can, I hate York for that to, I wish he was gone because of what he did to us

Harbaugh was overrated.

Yeah... So overrated. 3 straight NFC championship games, and 1 Superbowl appearance. I think Harbaugh was to loyal to his staff. I think one of the major rifts was that Harbaugh wouldn't shake up the offensive staff after the Superbowl loss. Which I think was valid. Our offense was hot garbage during the Harbaugh years. We had arguably one of the all time defenses in NFL history.

@@jasonkiefer1894 Winning is overrated too, right. GTFO.

@@rhunt4014 Yes, loyalty to his offensive coordinator was Harbaugh's downfall. The team excelled with field position thanks to Singletary's defense and the improvements by Vic Fangio.

Yeah, has absolutely NOTHING to do with Kap being so bad that he got sacked more times in one game than he had passing yards.

That seems like an OL issue, not a QB issue. So...still not his fault.

@@CJC15 you casuals alway bring up that one game lol shoulda Wilson have lost his job after his HORRENDOUS nfc championship game against greenbay? His punter had to throw his teams first touchdown late lmao

I don't blame him for the collapse, but boy he wasn't kept off teams for his performance. His praising of Castro is enough to keep him off most teams, then his ego getting in the way did the rest

@@samhouston9162 My dude, you have no idea what you're talking about. He praised Cuba/Castro's budget for education. He didn't say the man was the second coming of Jesus. Regardless, this isn't the 60s. Whatever his views on Cold War era politics are, that has nothing to do with playing in the NFL. There are football players who get arrested for committing crimes who still get to play in the NFL. But blackball a player for sharing his political views? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard and don't try to justify it.

The fast style didn't come into the league in a dominant fashion until 2022. Frankly idkw happened with the kings. The hawks did legitametely fall off. Toews and kane took a while but the group around them disappeared fast. They were lucky the rangers didn't make it past tampa in 2015

I agree jed york is curse

Yeah but you already they used Harbaugh as the scapegoat because he will draw the views.

Um heck yeah!

They picked Baalke over Haurbaugh worse decision ever

heyheyme99 absolutely! I’ve spoken to former 49ers who were there when they both were there (I won’t say their names for obvious reasons). But basically Harbaugh was all about football and only football. He didn’t want to chit chat about golf or any other shit that wasn’t going to help his team win. Trent didn’t like that. Baalke wanted Harbaugh to show deference to him, because technically, he was Harbaugh’s boss. At the end of the day, Baalke was upset because Harbaugh wouldn’t kiss his ass. Wouldn’t go out of his way to go over to Baalke’s office, suck up and make mindless small talk. Baalke’s sensitive ego ruined things. Baalke was the one leaking all the negative things about Harbaugh and the team. Jed York did not have the respect of either to get them into a room and work it out. So instead he sided with Baalke, partly because Harbaugh would not kiss Jed’s ass either. So basically, things were ruined because Harbaugh wasn’t “nice enough”. Not because he wasn’t a good coach or because he was winning. It was simply due to snowflake sensitive skin.

Joe K 2019 Chiefs win lol

Gain Chung I’ll take that over a losing season

Funny how it is forgotten that the only reason why they got to SB was the BLOWN PI call in the Atlanta game that cost Atlanta the trip. It was poetic justice. It is unfortunate though the power outage cost the Raven the chance to drop a 50 BOMB on them.

@G Walker But the seahawks got their ring the year before. The 49ers have been very good for periods of time since their last super bowl

Went from going to at least 4 games a year to zero. Not because we weren't good, because the goddamn owner ruined it for us, and I couldn't support him and continue giving him money. Really really horrible experience

Yeah as a raiders fan this shit kind of made me feel bad for the 9ers. Refs fucked them bad

Trust me, living though this was Hell. I never want to experience it again.

it was on Pace to be the biggest blowout in the quickest super bowl of all time. goodell had the lights shut out. end of story. Don't be mad. we be winning

Steeeve Maaadden I know their is no love loss between 49ers and raider fans, I’ll miss the battle of the bay. Since the raiders are moving to Vegas

Take a promising team, get rid of three of its best players (??????) and then surprise, the team sucks and has to rebuild! What a fucking shock!

@@VSigma725 Given how crazy it is in retrospect, Chip Kelly was in a way partly responsible for that SB.

Vizzy i’m not giving him any credit for that sb whatsoever idc

@luisito NeymarEsNo1 He was awful, but his actions led to those events.

He was literally their only choice nobody else wanted to go with them

Nah. He was routinely outcoached by the actual top coaches in the league.

They're often a major factor, if not the only one.

The same thing happened to the Oakland Raiders in the years before as Al Davis had to be both owner and coach which never works.

That's also why the Bengals have been trash since Mike Brown took over from Paul. He's the owner and GM, and most of the upper management is his family too.

take a gander at the New York Knicks

7:28 when it the video said “Harbaugh was losing the locker room” that’s not true. Rumor has it and it’s ben said by some former 49ers players, Kap had slept with Aldon Smiths girlfriend and is the reason why Aldon went bat shit crazy. The team had demanded that Alex Smith to be the captain and starting QB over Kaepernick. When that didn’t happen(because Kap was Baalke guy) guys started retiring and leaving the team. Yea I said it, Jed York, Baalke and Kapernick dismantled a dynasty team. So when I use to say Kap did those civil rights shenanigans to cover up his image I wasn’t lying. Kap is a douche bag. Just go back and watch his press conference interviews a complete douche.

I think he's in witness relocation. No way he works in the NFL again. He's the one that destroyed the roster(s).

@@mallred4347 too true... He inherited a good roster and he gets executive of the year that one time... Go figure.

I hope that he gets a job with the Colts, Titans or Texans.

Don’t want to wish joblessness on anyone but maybe a fate of being subordinate is a better solution. He does not need to be in charge of anything ever again.

@@projekt679 correct

On a good note least Vernon davis won a ring in San Francisco as a bronco lol

I think as a football fan it's heartbreaking. Yes, some of the Niner Empire can be an insufferable lot, but watching just how well those Harbaugh led teams executed week in and week out was a sight to behold

Seahawks killed y’all so many times.

Cam ort that 2013 NFC Championship game was one of the most blatant rigged games ive ever seen.

EviLEddy changes nothing, plenty of other games where it happened. Nothing is rigged btw. That’s a sorry excuse for losing.

Woah.

Suq Madiq Dak sucks

Really

scarface 38 Dak does suck. I am a cowboys fan but I hate that he is not putting in his best effort. He has the talent to be the next Troy Aikman for the cowboys but he wants to be paid like he has won the Super Bowl when he has only one wild card win. I like Dak. But he needs to play at his best. Then win a few Super Bowls then I will say he is worth 45 million dollars.

@scarface 38 Dude has talent. But he’s asking for way too much money. $45M is not what he should get paid. Don’t use the Goff got paid because the Rams are pay happy, and with other guys being paid well, it strangled strangled the team. The Cowboys want to be put in cap hell? That’s the way to do it. I won’t question his talent, Jason Garrett is a bad coach, and McCarthy could be the hire the Cowboys need. But he needs to win a super bowl or at least play out of his mind before asking to be paid on the likes of Mahomes.

Yep. Right Guard Alex Boone complained about preperation for 2013 by saying how they had already gotten to the mountain top - his words- in reference to reaching the Super Bowl... you know, except that part where they lost. The front office sabatoged the lockerroom and Jim Tomsula was a yes man to York who was happy to stab Harbaugh in the back every step of the way. Their GM was shit and the roster was built by a man with a long standing drinking problem who was fired again and rebuilt... the very Seahawks who went to two super bowls... before getting fired again for his drinking problems. He then rebuilt the Redakins into a playoff team... before getting fired yet again.

York is just a fucking idiot, and I’m a damn Browns fan!

Maybe if he had run the ball in with Frank Gore in Superbowl 47, instead of calling 3 straight passing plays to a double-covered Crabtree from the 5 yard line, his coaching tenure would have ended on a better, and extended, note. Hell, he might even still be the coach. Funny how people seem to conveniently forget that little tidbit when they fawn and drool over Harbaugh.

Fuck York man. These seasons are killing me.

Yea some of those player retired or change team cuz of that

I think lots retired because they saw that we were headed down hill. Why play into your thirties for a losing franchise heading downward.

It was a good few years! Especially after watching us flounder for the 2000's. I was we would have gone straight from Mooch to Harbaugh to Shannahan. Haha

Saints vs 49ers 2011 divisional round... Alex Smith was the man

In 2012 Kaepernick has the most rushing yards by a quarterback in playoff history vs the packers in the divisional game and then had the greatest comeback in NFC champioship history vs Matt Ryan and the falcons; Kaepernick was just better;

Chad Clifford he honestly was better (results show it) but Smith was great

Alex Smith was hurt that’s why they benched him, and Kaepernick just out performed him so they kept him as a starter

it was HARBRAUGH... it was the fact that Alex Smith lost his job due to an injury and the notion that Harbraugh had this ego where he could tell players that he BUILT THEM and could make another one of them. A lot of players in the locker room like Davis and Gore mention this that what happened to Alex Smith could happen to them and that made them lose trust in Habraugh because one minute he is smiling with you and patting you on the back and the next moment when your hurt hes ignored you. IT was the fact that Jim wanted to the players that he drafted succeded as many of the players on the 9ers roster were MIKE NOLAN (Trent Balke)GUYS: Alex SMith,Gore, Davis, Willis, and Harbraugh wanted his guys to outperform them to strengthen him politically. Jed is still an idiot because he hired Chip Kelly . Trent Balke kinda did build this team when he was the scout but Balke might have not been a liked guy. But Harbraugh has a lot of EGO issues and even his college players say he can be sort of two faced.

@@robroux6074 getting replaced when hurt.. is what happens in the NFL period.. just ask Tom Brady.. or Peyton Manning EGO or not Nolan and Baalke guys had 8 straight losing seasons, they didn't win before or after he left.. You give him the keys to the team because he earned it

@@HovaSwerve But did harbraugh win anything. He never won a championship. Eli Manning get the keys to NY because he actually won it twice, but keep in mind Kyle Wililams got him the 2nd one.

Hell of a lot of Wins.. maybe not a SB, but John Madden even said it: Harbaugh had one of the greatest Head Coaching starts in NFL History. Now tell me what has the Niners done since their last playoff appearance in 2002, take out Harbaugh years, and you have a complete Dumpster Fire. He the reason they got a new stadium. Losing teams don't get new stadiums. They should of been thanking that man, brought the only relevance to the team in almost 20yrs.. and not for Kyle Williams and Harbaugh has at least 2 SB appearances, and maybe a Championship, Not to mention Seattle lost we got robbed plus SB was robbery.. nothing can justify not keeping him. Only York EGO to blame

@@HovaSwerve madden said that before Doug Pederson. Pederson won the Superbowl in his 2nd year. Funny that Pederson actually credited Alex Smith has helping modernize his offense. He says that he learned a lot about RPO offenses not from Reid but from Smith when he was in the Chiefs and heck even Matt Nagy is basing the Bears offesnse around Smith's playstyle he even had Smith tutor Tribusky and Trubiskys play improved greatly. Just look how they handled the Wentz situation with Foles...that great owner organization..look how York, Harbraugh and Balke handled the Smith and Kap situation, horrible.,.,.but that was one of the first of many cracks within the organization. I'm not saying Smith was the best QB ever because even Mike Nolan was ragging on him and had nothing good to say about Smith (he made comment last year), but then again none of the players liked Nolan. Nolan was smart and knew how to bring in great players(J. Smith was a MIKE NOLAN SIGNING, NFL network laughed when the niners signed him for $40mil but Nolan knew dam well that Cowboy was worth it and he was getting him on the cheap on the long run). But the descion to bench Smith (due to an injury) in favor of a Nevada QB(Kordel Stewart 2) was ridicolous and pure ego. IT was like Harbraugh would have been like, 'See I can win a superbowl with anybody even a cheap kordell stewart knockoff'. Anywase you can be great a coach and know so much, but if your players don't like you, your going to lose your job quickly , and thats anywhere. Jim had his locker room split with Balke guys. What splits Jim H. from Doug Pederson. Doug Pederson's locker room loves him and even in KC, the players in KC don't really like Reid but they loved Pederson because he would LISTEN to his players. The Eagles management and Ownership is not all that too. Good ownership is like the HUNTS,Rooneies, Kraft. (Eddie D) Bad ownership is like the ki** my *** clu* in Jerry Jones, The Yorks, Spanos. Point is it was a mix of all 3 being bad. Bad Ownership, Bad Management and Bad Coaching(losing trust of players) and Bad Coordinator in Roman. It's a domino effect. So yes, Kyle Williams thank you for being a double agent. if Ted Ginn had been punter. Dam well the Niners would have held on to that lead and went on to face the Patriots and destroy them getting their 6th ring.

2010-2014 The Sf Giants and 49ers were the best at the time.

What I take it your not a real ravens fan Flacco best year was in 14 and was getting better and better but the defense didn't show it

12 PackersFan I can do it with 2 Trent Baalke

*stares in Justin fucking Smith*

I'll sum it up in four... NFL Refs Fucking Suck

I'll do you both one better: 2 syllables: *Jed York*

That defense would still be really good with willis as there leader

This is why people call 49ers fans 40-whiners. There were some bad calls that went both ways in that game. But the refs didn't make Kaepernick try the same throw multiple times to the same corner of the end zone against the #1 corner back in the league. That's what cost the 49ers the game. Trying to blame it on the refs is just denying reality. There's absolutely no reason to think the 49ers would have automatically won if a couple of calls went the other way. There was too much football left to play. And now people are blaming the Superbowl win on the refs? Give me a break. The refs didn't give the Seahawks 43 points and they didn't hold Peyton Manning to 8 points. The Broncos went into that game with the worst game plan imaginable. Their genius idea was to ride a vertical, explosive offense to victory.... against the #1 defense in the NFL. They lost control from literally the first possession, immediately panicked, and couldn't adjust. So stop making excuses. On those 2 days in that year the better team won. In other years (perhaps even this year) it will be different. On paper the 49ers are a better team than the Seahawks this year, and it's quite possible that you guys will go to the Superbowl. If neither team collapses we can expect a terrific game in the playoffs. If you guys win and go to the Superbowl them pre-grats... you have a kick ass team this year. Either way I'm looking forward to more great football in the coming years =)

The NFL is rigged in my opinion.

Even if that scenario had played out instead, I don't think that Jim Harbaugh would still be the 49ers head coach in 2019. At some point later on, he would have left all the same; it wasn't meant to last long.

@@jordel2010 the reason for that is Jed York.

Baalke passed on JJ Watt and several all pro Wr and Dbs...Baalke was just incompetent..York is incompetent...Lynch first draft class was awful and his free signings are reason to be fired

Would still have been hard to replace some of those players, right? Baalke is a moron, but maybe it wouldn't have been all smooth sailing with Harbs going on. Most teams have these windows of a few years where winning a bowl is possible. And to me that window for the 9ers was 2011 and 2012. They were special for those two years. Then injuries, retirements and things derailed them. And that happened with Harbs, and would probably have continued for a while during the semi-rebuild the team would have had to do at that point.

I bet Kap would still our QB :/

They’ve been cursed longer than that.

Aint got Gruden no more lmao

I protested the team hard when Jim got... we'll say fired. then Baalke got fired and I started to watch again. thank goodness because nothing was seeming to fill the void

"four walls of Buffalo" is a 2hr ESPN 30 for 30 documentary that covers it well haha but I'd love to see a video of it on this channel

We need one of the pirates post 1979 World Series, the drug trails of the 80s invoking several pirates, the early 90s near pennant winning teams then collapsed after the sid bream slide, then the near move out of Pittsburgh in the mid 90s and the start of the 20 years of under .500 baseball and the 2013-2015 wild card postseason teams and now back to losing under horrible ownership now and in the late 90s and 2000s.

They didnt really collapse. They just lost 4 super bowls and then got old...

Please no😓

Collapse isnt accurate though. They lost a heartbreaker on wide right, the skins and cowboys were loaded in the next 3. But they could do an deep dive on the partying and drug use of those Bills
