Harbaugh is too nice of a guy

The title says it all.

 

Harbaugh put up with Pep Hamilton for years.  He let Pep look for a job while he was doing a poor job of coaching.  

 

The same is true of Tim Drevno.  His offenses were bad after Jed Fisch left and he insisted on coaching the O Line where he did a poor job.

 

How many good offensive coordinators did we lose out on because of Hamilton / Drevno?

 

And how Ben McDaniels (QB coach) is still on staff is a mystery.  We have consistently underperformed in developing QBs.  McDaniel came with Harbaugh originally I think.

 

Now Don Brown is getting beaten by teams with less talent than he has.  A far cry from when Brown was at BC and coached up lessor talent to scrap with much deeper programs.

 

Harbaugh has to make some tough personnel calls and he will not make them. 

 

If you disagree with me, fine.  But ask yourself.....has Harbaugh fired anyone?

We haven't had a four-year stint in the same offense since Carr left, so it doesn't seem to me like it's an issue of retaining assistants past their expiration date.

Remember those years we had good seasons and got creamed by an OSU team with significantly superior talent and kids who don't go to classes? Remember how we screamed for change as a result?

Welcome to change.

You’re argument that these coaches were not fired because Harbaugh is too nice is pretty weak IMO. That’s being said, what’s wrong with being a nice guy?
