Harbaugh leaves 49ers
Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers mutually agree to part ways after the season finale win against the Arizona Cardinals. 49ers owner York:
Jim and I have come to the conclusion that it is in our mutual best interest to move in different directions. We thank Jim for bringing a tremendous competitive nature and a great passion for the game to the 49ers. He and his staff restored a winning culture that has been the standard for our franchise throughout its history. Their commitment and hard work resulted in a period of success that should be looked back on proudly by our organization and our fans. We wish Jim and his family all the best.
