Jim Harbaugh, who was known as “Captain Comeback” during his playing days, had a mighty retort ready for his old 49ers bosses.
The Michigan coach took a swing while expressing his sympathy for fired Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean, his brother-in-law.
Harbaugh compared Crean’s situation to life under owner Jed York and former General Manger Trent Baalke from 2011-14.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, posted Friday, Harbaugh said:
