No but its clear that if he is not the direct cause, he is certainly involved.
Nobody is closer to the Yorks than Marathe in the organization. He has made steady progress even though the team was floundering.
Through the years there have been reports about Marathe throwing his weight around, sticking his nose everywhere, being up in the coaches box during games until Harbaugh booted him out.
From 2011 to 2014, there was relative stability in the organization with Gideon Yu as team president. Shortly after Yu "stepped down", Marathe was made team president and soon after that is when the Harbaugh rumors started flying at full speed. Yu was regarded as a supporter of Harbaugh and likely wouldnt have put up with that nonsense.
Is there a smoking gun? No, but throughout this teams dysfunction, the only constants in the organization have been the Yorks, Marathe and Joan in Payroll. Yu left, Harbaugh left and look, dysfunction rules once more.
