Like most everyone else I am amazed at the 49ers 10-3 record and NFC West Crown especially when you figure there were new coaches, new systems, no off season to prepare and the team would have the same QB who had seen his first two head coaches get fired.
Forty Niner fans have high hopes for the future with their new coach Jim Harbaugh although it has come sooner then most expected for three apparent reasons.
1) The team has talent having signed good players and drafted well in the past few years.
2) They have won some games rather easily while others have been hard fought struggles with the 'Niners making big plays at the right time.
3) It has been a long time since I can remember the NFL having so many inept teams.
Harbaugh left Stanford to become an NFL coach and at the same time turn around the struggling 49ers. In another era Stanford coach Tyrone Willingham left to revitalized a depleted Notre Dame team. In his first year with the Irish he was Coach of the winning his first eight games. But like so many new coaches the wizardry soon wore off which we call the 'Ty Syndrome'. Can Harbaugh continue to wave his magic wand?
