NFL roundup: Report: Harbaugh won’t return to 49ers in 2015

on

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh will not return next season even if the team wins the Super Bowl, Fox Sports reported Sunday.

It has been widely reported that Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke have had a tense relationship. That could stem from Harbaugh wanting more money, more power or the two may just have a personality conflict.

Harbaugh also began losing the trust of some of his players when he was not honest with former quarterback Alex Smith about the team’s pursuit of Peyton Manning in 2012, according to ESPN.

CBS Sports reported that Harbaugh could be traded after the season. There was talk last offseason about Harbaugh being dealt to the Cleveland Browns, but discussions between the two teams did not go far.

Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis could be interested in Harbaugh, who began his NFL coaching career in Oakland in charge of quarterbacks. The Miami Dolphins may also make another run at Harbaugh. Miami tried to hire Harbaugh in 2011 before he decided to go with the 49ers.

According to the report, Fisher was honest in his assessment to NFL teams that Manuel had limitations as an NFL quarterback.

“I’m not sure why ESPN’s Adam Schefter would not reach out to me to get my thoughts on EJ Manuel or check the accuracy of his report,” Fisher said in a statement released by Florida State. “I never made those comments about EJ. I spoke to Buddy Nix of the Buffalo Bills and told him EJ is an outstanding young man and player. He was the face of our organization and would be a great one for them. I did not speak to any other teams, general managers or head coaches about EJ.”

—Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray has been offered a new four-year contract that would pay him more than any free agent running back earned last offseason, according to NFL.com.

–The health of former Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr is much worse than previously suggested.

A month after it was announced that Starr had a mild stroke, his wife, Cherry, said in a statement on the team’s web site that the 80-year-old Hall of Famer has actually had two strokes and a heart attack.

—Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, his wife Janay and former attorney Michael Diamondstein will speak with those involved in the Robert Mueller and NFLPA’s investigations, according to ESPN.
