What are the issues with Baalke and Harbaugh? Why is it being discussed so much and do you think something's got to give?
I think its getting so much play these days because everyone wants to find trouble in paradise.
That doesn't mean there is no truth to it though.
I have no doubt that there is tension there. Baalke is on the radio every week during the season and even he said there are times that there is tension but that a little tension is healthy in a competitive environment. Maybe he was just trying to make less of the situation, but the point is that he didn't deny the tension.
I have no trouble believing that Harbaugh isn't the easiest guy to work with. Walsh wasn't either. He and Eddie used to clash all the time.
The problem though is that nobody really knows what the tension is about. Money? Maybe. Personnel? Perhaps, but its not like Baalke had drafted poorly (outside of 2012). Power? Maybe? Credit for success? I highly doubt it considering how much praise Harbaugh heaps on his player and coaches.
Who knows...maybe just a personality clash.
