He's a lot like Parcells and Ditka and Buddy Ryan were.

I agree.

I remember John Madden was saying that if your coach is Harbaugh (a winner). If he and the GM do not get along you get rid of the GM not the proven winner. Wish York would have listened to Madden.

It was not just Baalke, a lot of the players were fed up with the college rah-rah stuff too. When they were winning it was tolerable, but when they were not it got old real fast.

With the players Baalke was bringing in, almost all Harbaugh could do was rah-rah. Nobody could make that garbage look presentable. That also explains why the niners starters have played the most snaps over the past few seasons...their backups were not good at all.

After witnessing Michigan's third straight shut-out and return to prominence today, it was clear to see they weren't saying please or thank you when receiving punts. A Michigan defensive back also recklessly returned an interception for a touchdown without even asking if it was OK to do so.

This kind of ill-mannered winning has no place in football -- and Jed York and Trent Baalke should be applauded for eliminating it from the NFL. The 2015 version of the 49ers are a leading light in the league, rich in class. The generosity shown by Colin Kaepernick with those two early pick-six's against Arizona should be used as a teaching moment for all teams. Kaepernick didn't even offer any indication what was coming -- it was a pleasant surprise for the Cardinals defense. Like a surprise birthday party.

Jim Tomsula's unfortunate fart during a press conference is the only blemish on an otherwise successful season. The 49ers haven't offended anyone so far, while Michigan are playing an overly-aggressive, mean-spirited brand of winning football.

ha ha! great post! cheers, mate.
GO HAWKS!
