If there ever was a time for Pete to rub it in a bit, it'd be Sunday, right? Chances are he wont be facing Harbaugh for quite some time. And, more than any other coach (I've heard of at least), the contempt for Jimmy seems to be common. Jim's rubbed a lot of other coaches the wrong way; be it by blitzing in preseason or the Schwartz debacle, Jim is as disliked as any coach I can recall. So, there's little risk of retribution.

CANHawk":2957mwij said:Pete is in every way shape and form a better man than Harbaugh and won't resort to intentionally running up the score. That being said, if SF can't stop TJack and the 3rd string offense from putting up points, I don't think Pete would deny TJ his moment in the sun.

last stand. They are outgunned, but will fight until about halftime when they realize it is futile. I hate Harbitch but there is a small part of me that doesn't want to see him go. We need him coaching SF so we can fully appreciate the hate.
Ali needed Frazier, Yankees need the Red Sox, Seattle needs San Fransisco WITH Harbitch. It makes defeating SF
that much more satisfying.

sc85sis":3ayhf5xu said:When we blasted SF in Dec. 2012, Sherm wanted Pete to score a TD and go for two the way Stanford had at USC in 2009. Pete said, "We have more class than that."
People think Pete ran up scores at USC because he'd allow his backups to do for 1st downs or TDs instead of field goals. Pete always said that was because it gave the opposing D a better shot at stopping the Trojans and preventing a score than if USC kicked for a nearly guaranteed three points.
Mojambo":3ayhf5xu said:Absolutely not.
And it's not because he woudn't want to, it's because he doesn't want to risk an injury. They will kneel down as SOON as they possibly can.
thebanjodude":3gqfongo said:I honestly don't think Pete has that much animosity for Harbaugh anymore. He's made reference in interviews to Harbaugh's wife opening up communication between the two, and it's not like he personally has to deal with Harbaugh very often.
