Here's a disturbing report of comments made by Steve Young (the HOF, 3x SB winning Niner QB) quoting him saying that:
"They [the Niners] look broken." And, "There’s a bad vibe. Guys on and off the field.’ … A lot of complaining, a lot of moaning coming off the field.”

Steve Young on the Niners
Guess Dejon Sanders might have been "right" about the locker room dissension after all.

Niner Players Unhappy with Harbaugh?
Apparently Jerry Rice (another HOF, 3x SB winning Niner WR) thinks Harbuagh's days as coach are numbered and that he'll be GONE next year.

Rice on Harbaugh
But Montana (the HOF, 4x SB winning, 3x SB MVP Niner QB) isn't so sure.

WINNING is a cure for whatever ails the Niners.
If the Niners can turn it around with at least a 10-6 ending record, everything should be ok because they'll have to go 6-2 in the last 8 games, which should be good enough to stop the whining and complaining that's apparently happening in the Niners locker room BUT if they to 8-8 or end up with a LOSING record, I think Jerry is probably right.
Harbaugh will be GONE and the Niners will be looking for another coach to save the team from itself.
We'll see . . .
PS: Here's a VERY interesting article by ESPN on Harbaugh which exposes some front office conflict and how he can be VERY difficult to deal with.
