The picture to the right clearly sums up 49ers fans and their feelings about the new head coach. You've heard it before, "college coaches cannot coach in the NFL". This is true; however, Harbaugh is not a college coach, he is a National Football League coach. He runs a true pro style offense that is exciting to watch and likes to run the ball. But unlike Singletary, when the defense commits, he likes to call a play action and air it out. Harbaugh is known for turning amateur quarterbacks with skills to professional quarterbacks. He worked with Josh Johnson at University of San Diego and was able to turn him into an NFL draft pick. His latest work with Andrew Luck has had critics saying Luck is the best quarterback in college football since Peyton Manning. There is no question that Harbaugh can teach quarterbacks; the exact position the 49ers need right now. But can he succeed in all aspects of the game? Harbaugh knows when the coordinators should make the calls and will let them have control at certain points. He has coached in the NFL before for a short amount of time and although he is arrogant, this arrogance only strengthens his ability to coach. In order to get him, it was a little pricey; however in the long run this move will be worth it. Look for Harbaugh to bring a new regime in the coming weeks and his imprint will be seen on this team shortly.
