49ers: Harbaugh’s exit not a concern for his brother
Grudges? Payback? Settling a family debt? Nah, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh says. He’s too busy worrying about the Ravens’ rough start to be preoccupied with how or why the 49ers parted ways with his brother Jim following the 2014 season. There’s far more similarity than animosity between the 49ers and Ravens, who play Sunday. Their 1-4 records largely are due to the attrition each team has suffered since they played in the Super Bowl just 32 months ago.
Furillo: Jim Harbaugh keeping it simple at Michigan
Jim Harbaugh’s run at Michigan began with a loss. Since then, the Wolverines have won five in a row, including shutouts in the last three. The takeaway, of course, is that the coach is again showing America how to fix a lost football program. Northern California fans know the story after his time at Stanford and with the 49ers.
