ACTUALLY, the real story on the Harbaugh issue was that he never wanted total control but he wanted Baalke to allow him to draft players that he wanted.
I know for a fact that Harbaugh wanted Ertz and did not want LeMichael James.. Harbaugh also wanted to keep Iuapati and sign other free agents but Baalke wanted to do the Patriot way believing that he's as good a Bilichick.
It was also Baalke's idea to NOT sign Manning because he felt that it would stunt Kaep's growth. There were veteran signings (Lloyd) that Harbaugh did not want but was FORCED to use because of the fact that Baalke would look bad for signing the aging veteran..
Don't be surprise if Harbaugh stays in Michigan to coach the Lions.
Uhhh this has nothing to do with my reply but...ok.
I regret mentioning Harbaugh, he's such old news
It will be time to compare the first 4 years of each coach soon.
