Why did we keep Jay Harbuagh?

[hox]

It wasn't just the bad punt and kickoff coverage. It was the muffed punts, the fumbles and turnovers, the blocked field goal, the returning kicks and getting tackled at the 10-yard line, when they should have just taken the knee in the endzone, etc.

This speaks to attention to detail and coaching experience. He's in over his skis until he proves otherwise.

Eh...

Muff punts/kicks aren't always an indication of bad coaching. Maybe you can put blame on the coaches if they keep putting the same guys in for return kicks/punts. I don't know, it's too fluky to me personally.

I would agree some of the attention to details were missing and that is an indication of bad coaching.

We kept him so we could glean inside information when he goes home for thanksgiving and Christmas

It happened more than once, but fair enough. Don't think that guy is on the team anymore.

And pretty sure coach Mac has gotten into his ear about tightening other things up, so we will see.

Some of the problem may stem from practice time, or lack thereof. They've been installing an entirely new offense this off season. Coaches and coordinators are always jealous of their practice time. Maybe Kubiak is hogging practice time of players who would be secondarily on special teams.

Just spitballin' but most of those errors look like they've been poorly coached. Plus, there are new rules changes that lead to more returns, so the players are getting used to that.

I think MikMac will be looking into this this week.

This.

I think he makes a solid point. We gave up a lot of return yardage last year. Now we give up two huge kick returns in one game. What is the deal? Prior to last year we were top tier in ST's play and had been for years.

Fair enough. I'll worry when it's time. That's all

Tackle, you must

Heard this in Yoda's voice.

Bump

Meh..I still hate the Harbaugh's. Glad we're better though...

 

[Natethegreat]

I was wrong, our special teams was great this year. Shaheed is special. Hope we keep him.

There’s some sort of profound quote about sins of the father that I can’t recall. At any rate I’m not going to let any thoughts i have on his dad affect my thoughts on him.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

"I'm worried it's not going to be better" is not exactly comeuppance-worthy. Seems to be a fair way of expressing concern.

And I'm sure Ycrew knew we were going to be trading for Rashid Shaheed.

Why does everything have to be a crow force-feed?

Don't you LOVE being dead wrong in this manner?!

(you had some valid concerns, btw)

The Harbaughs are an interesting bunch. Now that Jim's no longer in our division, I've come to appreciate the dude. He's unique among NFL coaches. And I think John is a pretty good coach. I think Baltimore will miss him next year.

I agree. Old man/grandpa Jim is farrrr cooler than middle aged Jim. There's something a little bit more....endearing about this version of Jim Harbaugh.

No the point of bumping this was kickoff coverage it reminded me of 2013

It's been world's better for sure. A major bonus that has won games for us this year. A huge difference and I'm thankful for it.

 

[nwHawk]

Our special teams play was bad last year and through 2 preseason games I am worried its not going to be better this year.

Post of the year!

Dare I say Nate kickstarted the beginning of something great .
