I like how he says it's because he doesn't want to set a bad example for his players who have multiple years left on their deals.
Bullshit.

No Harbaugh extension until after season

Who said it was the end of a contender?
Whether you admit it or not, you know that if Harbs had won SB 47, he would have taken the SB winning coach contract in a heartbeat, even with 3 years left on his current deal, any bad example for players with multiple years be damned.
Which makes it bullshit.

All I know is if Harbaugh bets on himself and loses, I'm comparing him to a reverse Joe Flacco.
I doubt 49ers fans want that. But I do.

So to review:
Harbaugh and Baalke struggle to get along and this isn't much of a secret.
The 49ers nearly trade Harbaugh to Cleveland presumably within four days of their 2013 season ending (Pettine was hired on January 23rd).
Most if not all SF media think Harbaugh will not even finish his current deal with the 49ers.
And now, despite Harbaugh being widely regarded as one of the very best in the league, the 49ers refuse to pay him like it. The fact that they want him to win a SB first is incredibly unreasonable. Winning a championship is more luck than skill even for the very best.
These contract talks strike me as a total charade by the FO. It seems extremely obvious to me that they want to move on from Harbaugh, but also want to avoid the backlash that will come if they dump him too brazenly. Hence these fake contract extension talks.

They will pay Harbafreak. A bunch. He took a load of talent that others couldn't muster and turned it around in a big way. He essentially pulled the Niners out of a decade of total embarrassment, no way they want to go back to that.
I would get rid of Baalke before Harbadouche.

...or maybe Niner leadership is telling the truth. For all the stuff about Harbaugh being hard to work with, he hasn't lost a single assistant coach. In fact, he attracts good coaches.
Maybe Jed York isn't a liar and he's telling the truth when he said he was contacted by the Browns and that he wasn't interested. Maybe they simply decided to wait till he had one year left and not 2 (like Pete Carroll BTW) before they did an ext.
Perhaps the entire 49er front office isn't just a pack of liars and might be GASP...telling the truth. Maybe the media is making a mountain out of a molehill (they never do that).
Nah. Can't be. Niners evil. Sky is falling in Santa Clara. Only explanation.
...and you guys call ME delusional.

Hasn't Harbaugh kept his assistants by not letting them interview? :stirthepot:

What's with 49er fans who always act surprised that Seahawk fans trash talk their team? Are they really that unaccustomed to having a winning team or are they just too mentally challenged to understand how rivalries work? Honest questionMarvin49":2jroxp8n said:

Yep. More often than not, when somebody says "it's not about the money," it's about the money.
Personally, I hope they get a deal done. Seahawks-Niners games wouldn't be half as much fun without Jim "Summer's Eve" Harbaugh throwing tantrums on the sidelines.

It's the Niner mantra. Trash talking is only allowed one way. They are the "storied" Niners after all. The entitled, the legacy, the righteous. How dare we speak at such a model of greatness in anything other than approved correspondence by the Niner Speaker of the House?

According to reports, it was actually Harbaugh himself who reached out to Cleveland, which prompted the trade offer to the 49ers. Supposedly, this offer did not include a 1st round pick. The 49ers say they rejected the offer immediately, the Browns opted to not provide more details.
All of that actually fits in with what you are saying, but still, it paints a picture of an unhappy marriage.
Harbaugh started seeking a contract extension last summer, right after his team came extremely close to winning a SB. Harbaugh is one of the very best coaches in the game and coach salary does not count against the cap. Why the hell hasn't he gotten a deal yet?
There are only two answers to that question. The first is that SF's FO is incredibly moronic to risk losing or pissing off a great coach in the hopes they can save a tiny amount of money that in no way impacts their salary cap. The second is that they don't really want to extend him, but would like him to hang around until they figure out life after Harbaugh.
