From a Bleacher Report article in late 2014...
He loves Michigan
Hates NFL players
Wants total control
Let's completely ignore the fact that the Spanii would never hire him...
Why would he leave his dream job to come work with/for a bunch of dick-wads...?
This takes some careful explaining, and some of it is nuanced, but based on interviews with several sources close to Harbaugh, his departure from the 49ers came down to three main things:
- His love of Michigan. Self-explanatory.
- The behavior of his players. Several 49ers players became national news for alleged crimes, some of them ugly. One source explained that Harbaugh came to believe the behavior problem among players in the NFL is "almost impossible to fix." I've also been told—but still have been unable to totally flesh it out—there was a great divide between Harbaugh and the front office on how to handle players in trouble with the law. Harbaugh believes that in college he'd have more control over those issues.
- He wanted total control.
