Jonathan Martin Trade Is A Blessing

Jonathan Martin has gotten the fresh restart he seemed to be in dire need of.  Martin will be joining a 49ers teams who, in addition to being better than the Dolphins, seem to have better control of what goes on behind closed doors in the locker room.  Martin will also be playing once again under the guidance of Jim Harbaugh, who was his college coach at Stanford.

I won't go into the details of the Martin/Incognito saga because there is more than enough information available online that delves into exactly what happened.  I will just say that no person under any circumstances should have to go through what Martin went through.  I understand that athletes in all sports have gone through some sort of rookie initiation, but there comes a time when we as a society take things a little too far.

I wish you good luck on this new beginning and the rest of your career Jonathan Martin.

Jim Harbaugh Done In San Francisco?




So it seems Jim Harbaugh may have already worn out his welcome as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.  For a coach who has led his team to three straight NFC Championship Game appearances, that seems really surprising for a guy who still has two years remaining on his contract.  Or is it?





Now you may be saying come on Tim, you're crazy!  I may be crazy but hear me out.  

First, let me say I like Jim Harbaugh.  I gained renewed interest in the 49ers because of his hiring.  What he has done in two plus years in the head coach position is pretty remarkable considering where San Francisco was just a few years ago.  

With that being said, I'm probably not the only football fan who thinks Harbaugh is a total control freak.  It's probably to the point now two years in that the organization is tired of his antics and they just might want to do what's in the best interests of both parties and just move on.  

One thing I can tell you is if that happens, Harbaugh won't be out of a job for long.  Teams will be lining up at his door seeking his services regardless of the headaches he may cause.
