Jim Harbuagh hired by San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers and wunderkind Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh have reportedly reached a deal. Speculation over whether Harbaugh would coach within the NFL has been rampant for days. Harbaugh has a lot of work to do. Fortunately though, payday cash loans weren’t used to negotiate the deal.

Suspecting that Jim Harbaugh is making a San Francisco 49ers deal

There has been a lot of speculation about Jim Harbaugh becoming an NFL head coach while leaving the Stanford football team. The San Francisco 49ers supposedly gave him a great deal. ABC reports that he got a $35 million deal with a five year contract. Harbaugh took the Stanford Cardinals from a losing team into an annual bowl which makes him a college football coaching prodigy. Twelve and 1 was what Stanford did this year. It was pretty great. The team was supposed to win the NFC West this year but hasn't posted a winning record in a decade which means Harbaugh will have a lot of work to do. The NFC West was actually won by the Seattle Seahawks. Now the Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints will start the Wild Card round of the NFL playoff schedule.

All about the inspiration behind it

One of Harbaugh's heroes gave him inspiration to take the San Francisco job. Bill Walsh spent two seasons as a coach of Stanford before being hired by the San Francisco 49ers, taking Stanford to two bowl games in the process before moving to greener pastures. While coach of the 49ers, Walsh picked up Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice and Steve Young in drafts and perfected the West Coast Offense, creating a dynasty in the process and guiding the 49ers to four Super Bowl titles.

Put on your working boots and gloves

Jim Harbaugh will have to work very hard. This year, the 49ers were picked to take the NFC west after going 8 and 8 in 2009, but fell to 6 and 10. Head coach Mike Singeltary was fired by the group recently. Harbaugh’s brother, John Harbaugh, is currently the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, who the 49ers will play sometime in 2011.
