>>Report: Harbaugh Done With 49ers Immediately After Season

(Undated) -- It's been assumed for some time 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh's time with the organization is coming to an end, but now we have a time frame. Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported on Sunday the Niners will cut ties with their head coach 24-to-48 hours after their final game on Sunday at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Harbaugh has taken San Francisco to three straight NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl. Glazer stated Harbaugh isn't yet sure where he will go next. Michigan's top priority is to hire him to replace Brady Hoke and teams such as the Raiders and Bears are expected to have interest at the NFL level.
