He works in college because the kids leave every 4 years, that isn't the case in the pros (well expect they start retiring to get away from him). He had early success in San Fran then it all came crumbling down because he is just tough to deal with.

I'll take Josh McDaniels because of the lineage and the offense he'd bring.

I have to disagree. I don't think the guys who retired, did so because they hated Harbaugh. A few of them retired due to concussion concerns and Justin Smith was just at that age. If they retired due to Harbaugh, why didn't they come back when he left? So yeah, that's a silly accusation IMO.

Baalke just butted ego's with Harbaugh and held the higher position. That's all there is to it. Jim had a fantastic run in SF, and the 49ers have been complete crap before and immediately after his tenure. All the guy does is win, if management stays out of his way.

Edit: I just looked it up, and Justin Smith, Patrick Willis, Chris Borland etc all retired AFTER Harbaugh was fired. So maybe you should rethink your stance that players hated him? Again, I think Harbaugh's only issue was with Baalke. I did hear rumblings that Kaep didn't like Harbaugh, but consider the source. Kaep takes issue with a lot of stuff.
