San Francisco 49ers: A Niner Noise Translation of CEO Jed York Press Conference
By Peter Panacy
Jed York on Letting former Head Coach Jim Harbaugh Go
Q: In retrospect, was it a mistake to fire former 49ers and current University of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh?
Jed York’s answer:
"I can’t look backwards. We need to make sure that we’re looking forward and doing everything that we can to get this team back. It’s very easy to play revisionist history. I’m just not going to play that game."
Translation
How many times are you going to ask me about Jim Harbaugh? I never admitted it was wrong to part ways with him, won’t admit it and will never admit it at any point moving forward.
Besides, the credit from those NFC Championship runs belongs to the organization. Not Harbaugh.
