I gave you actual evidence.. but it's all good. i just wanted to clear the air

You didn't give evidence of what you claimed. Joe Banner also confirmed the trade as well:


Again, this was a multi sourced report by various outlets as it happened. PR denials at the time are what they are.

Jim Harbaugh described the 49ers front office as having left him in an exclusive interview with Kawakami after he took the Michigan job.

Not many remember that in 2014 with the Browns we agreed to a trade with the 49ers to acquire Jim Harbaugh. Unfortunately from our perspective Jim blocked the trade and look what has happened to both sides since then. Changed the next decade for both sides.

rumors is not evidence. Harb saying the 49ers left him is not evidence of proving the rumor true. Harb never admitted there was a trade or that he nixed the trade. 49ers said it was false and ridiculous.

i did give you evidence, he met with UM and it wasn't a rumor. While he was there for a wedding, he went earlier to meet up.

A wedding for a player is not a meeting with Michigan, lol.

A former front office executive with the Browns is telling you a trade was in place, corroborating multi sourced reports from that time. That's evidence. Everything that actually happened and the way Jed handled it publicly is evidence. I'm moving on.

so you didn't read the article and the part where i said you don't know who he was with (Todd Anson).

it doesn't matter how many reports of something false gets reported. it's still false. There was nothing that happened between the two sides before that rumor. that's what i mean by evidence.. Unless Jim had that rumor leaked and started the process of checking out. Cause before the 2014 season and trade rumor, there was nothing ill will between the two.

More rumors coming out before Jim left Michigan and what does jim say "i never wanted to leave Mich" lol This is sounding like it's more Jim than anyone else

To be honest, the vid input by Kolohe says it all to me. He has no self control under pressure on the sideline. Personally I think he is better off in the college game.

he's a passionate guy and he put his whole being into winning a SB. he got as close as you can with a flawed roster. he's .673 in the pro game. he clearly is after 1 thing, a SB ring. he has the NCAA equivalent. that's why he left college.

Flawed roster LOL

You can also be passionate and not act like a clown on the sidelines.

Clown? Would Jim Harbaugh show up Drunk with his players to Super Bowl week? HELL f**kING NA!

He ain't that type of person or Head Coach. Not that type of leader.

How many times have we seen this image of him leading his men in college and the Pros? He loves being a Head Coach. He loves it more than a damn drink.

If Harbaugh was still our coach with the same exact results, you would just say he's a loser who loses Super Bowls and doesn't actually accomplish anything noteworthy

Um.. we lost that Ravens Super Bowl because we were down big early on, but we clawed our way back. The team didn't give up. Where as with Kyle, we have a 10pt lead (kudos to Kyle)... but can't seem to build of that to put teams away, even though our defenses are holding those high powered offenses to low scores in the first 3 qtrs.

THAT'S your argument??

"We lost the Super Bowl more nicely with Harbaugh! I enjoyed it more! That's why he's so much better than Kyle!"

Absurd lol

No trade is going down here. Jed would be a DA to trade away Kyle.

What a piece of s**t and like I have said many times, an idiot.

So your dumb ass traded three 1st round picks to move up to choose a "running QB"? That's what you tried? How about if you tried to develop the QB as a regular QB? Trey didn't need to be a "running QB" to beat the Texans, his second game as a starter. He mainly beat them with his arm. So the next time he started (the next season), you want to come out with a running QB? Run him until he got injured?

Steve Young's comments focused on how defenses have adapted to Shanahan's offensive strategies, proposing that the coach explore innovative approaches to counteract opponents' adjustments to his play-calling.

On Friday, Shanahan addressed this narrative, providing a lengthy response during his media availability.

"That's what you try to do every single week," Shanahan said. "That's what you try to always do, but you don't ... just say, 'Hey, today I'm going to try to run the wishbone offense and stuff.' It's what are the players that you have, what do you believe in, and what gives those guys the best chance to succeed?

"For a little bit here, we almost went with the running quarterback, possibly, with Trey [Lance]. You saw a different offense when he got out there. You see different things. You gotta adjust to your players."

Hence the words "RUNNING QB", you're b***hing just to b***h.

The point is even you KyleOnlyFans can't admit that's the stupidest s**t you could ever do. Use the 3rd overall QB pick, one you traded three 1st round picks for, you use that pick for a "running qb". Hell if I knew he viewed Trey as a running QB, I would have rather preferred weak armed dirty Mac Jones. (Honestly I wouldn't have traded out, but who would be dumb enough to give us a similar amount of picks? Kyle doesn't have a clone in the league).

Now EVEN if it's a thing where Kyle's, supposed Genius ass, didn't realize Trey would be a running QB... then still the fact that you used all that capital on a QB you are not 100% sure is the future passing star. Then again, that's just careless and comes from someone who has no fears of answering to anyone. I'm not gonna let him off the hook there either. Even I don't think Kyle is that dumb. He was just b******ting with that answer... like he b******ts with other answers. Fake supposed smart guy. The fact he needed to use a player that is not on his team anymore... by name... to use them to deflect any accountability, is just nuts. But not unexpected coming from the drunk.

Jim Harbaugh. Trey Lance.

My gosh, some of you are stuck in the freaking past

He couldn't be trusted to execute the passing offense. Using the QB in the run game was the only thing that played to his strengths… and that wasn't really a strength of his either.

He shouldn't have been playing outside of injury. He shouldn't have been selected. It was a bad evaluation and a colossal bust. Those are the real mistakes Kyle made: drafting him in the first place and then giving him the starter's job when he isn't even a capable #2.

You learn from the past, not ignore it.

The past be it last week... last month... or the last few years. Something Kyle's stubborn ass hasn't shown us he has the ability to do, or want to do.

He couldn't be trusted, yet was trusted to keep our playoff hopes alive... and Trey came through. Kyle didn't play "to his strengths" in that game... the most important game of that season. If we lost that game we were eliminated from the playoffs.

If Kyle didn't choose Trey with that #3 pick, who should he have chosen? The mistake wasn't the choice, it was not BEING f**kING PREPARED.. just like our Super Bowl loss. Not knowing what the f**k you wanted to do when you traded all those picks to move up to #3.

This I agree with to a degree. There's no question it was a bad trade up, and we paid for it.
