"Harbaugh effect" is going to be a year-long story

The San Francisco 49ers dropped to 1-4 this past Sunday with a brutal loss to the New York Giants, and now they prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. Both teams are struggling, but the slightly bigger story is the 49ers quick demise following Jim Harbaugh's departure as head coach.

It is kind of fitting timing for this matchup against the John Harbaugh-led Ravens. The day before, Jim will lead his No. 12 ranked Michigan Wolverines against No. 7 ranked Michigan State. Michigan lost their season opener to Utah, but has since won five straight, all in dominant fashion.
