Very hard for me to believe that Harbaugh would be entertaining offers this week, or that a team would think he might be. He\'s got a bowl game Monday. If the 49ers are trying to get a drop on competitors on a particular coaching candidate, I\'d guess it\'s somebody besides Harbaugh.

...picks up:

"Hey Coach Harbaugh, this is Jed York.  I\'ve been watching you work for four years, and I can\'t tell you how impressed I am.  We\'d like to discuss a future with the 49ers.  I realize you\'re busy until after the season, but I wanted to contact you ASAP.  Please contact me or have your agent contact me at your convenience."

Even in the post season, coaches listen to 20-second messages, particularly if it could double or treble your salary and let you continue to live in your geography of choice.
