NFL 49ers' Jim Harbaugh: I want to stay - ESPN
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Amid separate reports that Texas has interest in Jim Harbaugh as a successor to Mack Brown and that friction exists between Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke, the San Francisco 49ers coach said Thursday he's still happy in the Bay Area.
"Absolutely," he said when asked whether he'd like to stay with the 49ers long-term. "Absolutely."
“
Harbaugh In Judge Judy's court, hearsay is not admissible evidence. I think we can all agree that an unnamed source is hearsay. ... In the court of public opinion, why would you give any of that credibility?"

on a reported rift with GM Trent Baalke
Harbaugh is in the third year of a five-year deal that will pay him $25 million. 49ers owner Jed York is on the record saying the team plans to try to finalize an extension for Harbaugh during the offseason.
York told San Francisco radio station KNBR there is occasional creative tension between the two football leaders but not "friction," as reported by the San Jose Mercury News this week.
Harbaugh, like York, downplayed any issues.
"It's the 49er way," said Harbaugh, who is 34-11-1 with San Francisco. "It's the team, the team, the team. Everybody does a little, and it adds up to be a lot. Nobody above the team. Nobody more important. Nobody less important. Hundreds of people in this organization, and we all have a role and we all contribute to the best of our ability. And that's the team, the team, the team. We win as a team. That's how we do it."
Harbaugh also shunned the report because it cited unnamed sources.
