Former 49ers defensive lineman Justin Smith expressed support for both Jim Harbaugh and Jim Tomsula one day after his retirement became official.
Smith said his decision to retire after 14 NFL seasons had everything to do with his body breaking down from the rigors of playing the sport and not so much the fact that Harbaugh is no longer the 49ers’ head coach.
“Everything factors in,” Smith said Tuesday in an appearance on 95.7 The Game. “That wasn’t it. For me, it was strictly how my body felt. I talked to Trent (Baalke) and Jimmy T right after the season.
