As a Niners fan I LOVE coach Harbaugh.
Not a big fan of Jim Harbaugh the man, however.

If he wasnt my teams coach I would pretty much hate his guts. Luckily we are just paying him to coach up the team and win football games.

Can’t believe how many people are backing Brown. Harbaugh is 100% right and I wish more people would call Brown out.

Harbaugh is a good coach. I have yet to see a coach and think I’d like to be his friend. Joe Gibbs, Bill Parcell excluded

Jim Harbaugh’s rebuttal of Tim Brown’s accusation re-affirmed my belief that nobody is all bad.

And Jim Harbaugh should be ashamed of the plays his offense ran 7 yards from the end zone that could have won the game

Jerry Rice was miked up for the game. Before things fell apart for the Raiders, Jerry Porter was sitting next to Rice on the bench and stated to Rice (paraphrasing) “We need to start running the ball.” I think Barrett Robbins situation is what really hurt the Raiders. He was the best Center in the NFL at that time. I don’t believe Callahan threw the game, that’s been the NFL’s job since the days of the “Immaculate Reception to the Snow Job.”

Jerry Rice should put Harbaugh in his place for the way he carries himself around the field & in the media. Talk about no shame.

You know Jim Harbaugh is speaking on it because he was on the Raiders coaching staff that year…he does have a right to speak his mind..hes not speaking out of nowhere, he was probably asked what he thinks since he was an assistant that year. I think Tim Brown used the wrong choice of words..nonetheless, it is what it is. As a raider fan, im tired of the last 10 years, the busted super bowl loss and tuck rule.

Tim Brown is a joke! Any head coach would want to have a super bowl victory beside there name.. Callahan did not want let my bucs beat them, they just had trouble going against a defense that is somewhere from the 5th – 10th best D of all time.. our stats that year prove it. Even though as a bucs fan I dont have anything really special to brag about in the recent years, but I know forsure that we earned that super bowl in 2002

This man Jim Harbaugh is making me dislike the 49ers.

Always had a neutral stance on the 49ers, liked a couple players and was happy to see Alex Smith step up and also was happy that Colin played extremely well….

but now, I think I will be rooting against this team…. not classy at all. Especially with the way they handled the super bowl loss.

It’s funny ,how everybody hates harbaugh, but you know what haters only come out when someone’s doing good, take Richard Sherman I hate, I mean I absolutely despise him, truth is he’s insane at what he does, I could see how you could hate harbaugh, if your team lost to the niners or something like that, but the truth is, every nfl fan hopes their coach has passion, fire , and is super competitive, just admit it.

Who cares how Harbaugh act’s on the sideline, it’s that emotion that got him where he is at. His play calling (or acceptance of calls) is what got them to the Superbowl and will more than likely land them back there or in the NFC Championship game next year.

Lastly, Jerry Rice and Tim Brown are idiots for insinuating that Callahan sabotaged the Superbowl because he was friends with Gruden. There is no evidence of it and if it was incompetence so be it, but I, and any coach, would own up to bad play calling/game planning over sabotaging the entire team.

I used to like Jim Harbaugh, up till the Super Bowl. He seemed like an all around good guy until I seen how he acted after losing to his brother.

Why don’t you say something about Jerry Rice too then. Come on now!

Also who was Tim harshly criticized by that people didn’t expect to say something other than those who worked with Bill so wouldn’t say a thing due to the “blue line” being in effect.

Dungy put together Tampa’s defense.

Gruden, however, built that Raider’s offense. He knew the players, their tendencies and the plays.
Callahan changing the plays that got them to the SB was the only hope he had of beating that great tampa D that now belonged to Gruden.

Even that didn’t help. Want to blame anyone, blame Al Davis for letting Gruden know he intended to let him go at the end of that season, causing Gruden to ‘convince’ ol Al to let him go early.

I dont think anyone cares what Jim Harbaugh thinks because no one besides the city of San Fran likes Harbaugh.

Jim is still mad cause his brother beat him in the Superbowl.
Everybody knows Bill Callahan threw that game. It’s funny the media like PFT and ESPN like to not mention it’s not just Tim Brown who thinks this but it’s also JERRYT RICE!
ESPN hates that so much, nothing was better than seeing Trey Wingos face when Rice told the wordls the superbowl was FIXED

Sorry harbaugh but the proof is in the pudding. You don’t change a whole offensive game plan a day or two before the SB. It will be a long time til I can write your name w/ a starting capital h.

Jim is right and Raiders fans that defend Tim and Jerry are helpless and hopeless, like their team (sorry for the low blow but well deserved). Rice’s comments were a joke too and I lost tremendous respect for him, but I also know that his ego is very large as is Tim’s. Ego can be a great motivator, but it can also lead to great delusions as failures are being rationalized.

We love to build people up and tear them down don’t we Harbaugh haters? Its all ego based too, so its very understandable. Harbaugh does 2 things that annoy me 1) He’s too emotional on the sideline (at times) and by being so emotional he is not fully utilizing his ability to reason which the team needs and 2) I don’t admire his complaining about officiating. It doesn’t do anything for anybody except himself. He is still young and will learn; Harbaugh has in no way peaked. So hate him all you want but respect him and the 49ers because it won’t be an easy day at the yard.

…this coming from the guy who lost the superbowl to his brother, and still had bad things to say about the reffing. Suck it up Harbaugh, I used to think you were alright, but now you’re just a crybaby…

No professional athlete is ever going to admit that he was outplayed by an opponent. NFL players are notorious for being in constant denial…
I’m sure the 2012 49ers will go through life thinking (and saying) they simply “ran out of time” against the Ravens.

Man look at all these jealous fans that wish Harbaugh was their coach. He has a right to speak about Browns comments because he was part of the Callahan Raiders team. Get use a HC that has passion and speaks his mind because SF will be a top contender for many years to come!!

I think that it shouldn’t matter which gameplan Callahan went with, Its still up to the players to execute the plays no matter which of them is called. That is the story too, the players didn’t do what was needed in order to win the game. Quit blaming the Coaching staff. The game is 10% planning and 90% execution.

dude when you want to talk about being ashamed, look in the mirror…boo hoo, snibble snibble, whine whine…brown made a comment , the media blew it up, but the FACT remains callahan never changed the playbook, or the playcalls that gruden used….callahan should be ashamed of that, which has to be the dumbest coaching blunder ever, and could even be perceived as sabotage.

Jim Harbaugh should be ashmed he did not have the nads to give cbs an interview after his 49ers choked in the super bowl!!!!!!

By: dirtyjersey9er

dirtyjersey9er — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 23:05:09 +0000

So it doesn’t clarify on the tweet. Was Harbaugh asked about it or did he outright say it?

Also kinda like how players have each other’s backs coaches do the same because you never know when you might need help from said coaches.

Ya know what would have made this entire story moot? Al Davis not wanting a more vertical passing attack and in turn extending Jon Gruden. So really Tim Brown should have called that move because that hurt them more than a change in gameplan for the super bowl.

So… Hairbow is denying that the game plan changed just before the game?
Or is he saying that Callahan didn’t change the game plan with the intention of making it harder to win the game?
