Jim Harbaugh: Deion Sanders comments 'a bunch of crap'
On Monday, NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders drew headlines for claiming 49ers players are sick of Jim Harbaugh and "want him out."
Harbaugh disagrees wholeheartedly with that notion. In fact, he doesn't think very much of it at all.
"Personally, I think that's a bunch of a crap," Harbaugh said at a press conference Monday.
Harbaugh then sarcastically fired shots at anonymous sources.
"If someone has a good story to tell, they want to put their name to it," Harbaugh said. "If I had a good story to tell, I'd want to put my name to it, so I don't put a lot of credibility to the unnamed source."
The 49ers coach was also asked about Trent Dilfer's claim the Niners situation is "toxic."
"I haven't seen Trent or Deion around much," Harbaugh said.
Dilfer clarified on Monday Night Football that he wasn't calling the locker room "toxic" or doing any "reporting" but merely analyzing from his viewpoint what's going on with the 49ers.
There has been a lingering amount of speculation dating to last season whether Harbaugh would be with the Niners for the long haul. His contract is up after 2015, and it's unlikely he or the 49ers want to head into next year with Harbaugh set up for a lame-duck season.
But as is always the case in the NFL, winning cures everything. If the 49ers rip off some victories, this story will fade into the background. If not, it'll keep cropping up again and again.
