Jim Harbaugh Discusses SB XLVII

Press Pass: Jim Harbaugh

Coach's Notebook: Jan. 21

Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said that that week off, the BYE, was really important as far as putting together a game plan. You can take kind of an altering the approach a little bit, or adjusting the approach for the Packers. Do you expect this week that they’re will be similar type of developments as far as working together on a Ravens-specific game plan?

“Very possible. And both teams will have that advantage and you like your opponent to think about all the possibilities. So, we’ll leave all those open as possibilities.”

What impressed you most about LB Ahmad Brooks and that last stand, the third down play and the pressure that he was able to get on Falcons QB Matt Ryan?

“He’s got a penchant for doing that. I can think back to several situations where the team is driving at the end of the game and Ahmad Brooks, two out of the three downs makes the big play. In this case, getting to the quarterback, rushing the quarterback. The play where he jumped up and batted the ball down, Matt Ryan had a receiver and it looked like that was going to be completed if he doesn’t get that done. Think back to the Green Bay game earlier in the season, the first one, the opener. And there’s been times where it’s been three out of three on the downs to stop a drive in a critical situation. So what do I think about it? I was elated. And he was working through some things. He had a bit of an injury in the first half and just overcame it, and made the big stop for us.”

Growing up I’m sure you dream or talked about, envisioned throwing a pass in the Super Bowl. Did you, given your dad’s background, envision or dream much about coaching in the Super Bowl?

“No, don’t think I had that dream. But I will share this with you, just the way Colin Kaepernick runs, the gracefulness of his stride, the ground that he covers, it reminds me of me when I run. And then I wake up.”

He threw the media a bone hoping it would distract them so he wouldn't have to answer the original question.

Can you point to anything at the University of San Diego and at Stanford, maybe one major thing you learned in each step that you’re still applying right here today as you head to the Super Bowl?
“No, I can’t really think of one thing at each of those steps that we’re still applying. Have to probably give that quite a bit of thought.”

Too much on—no onion peeling today?
“No, I’d just would need more time to really think about those things and come up with a—.”

OK. I’ll check back with you.
“OK. It may be a few weeks before we delve into that one, but.”

Translation: Don't ask me again. I don't want to answer that either.

Justin Smith Not Ready To Retire

Only one more year? Hmmmm, well I guess his body would be pretty worn down after missing only a few games and going 100% all the time. Kinda hoped he'd stick around at least 2 more years.

Cameras caught running back Frank Gore engaged in an animated discussion with coach Jim Harbaugh on the sideline after the 49ers fell behind in the first quarter against the Atlanta Falcons. That’s nothing out of the ordinary, Harbaugh said.

I would really love to find out what Gore was saying.

49ers CEO JedYork might look like a teenager, but he’s among the smartest execs in the league. Happy for him.
