It's documented that Borland retired due to concerns over head trauma. Justin Smith was 35 coming off a down season, and Willis had been battling a severe toe injury for several years. It seems far more believable that they retired for these reasons than hatred for a coach who was already gone.
Plus if they're retired, why lie and pretend you liked Harbaugh? We would've heard plenty of talk if that were the case.
Plenty of his players did say they very much disliked him. Go back and look, few said it openly many did behind the scenes. His roster issues aside in San Fran, he acts like a baby on the sideline and it is off putting. Kapernick regressed over his tenure there. His defense was the product of Vik Fangio. The drafting while he was there is what put them in their current state of a "talent less "roster.
As I said your all in on him, I am not. Is he a "bad" coach? No he is probably a good coach. Do I think he is a good solution for any team long term? No. I think he becomes toxic after being in places for a long enough time. It's not a question of is he better than Marvin, but is he better than other candidates for the long term success, and this is what I'd be leery of.
