GREEN BAY, Wis., Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Maybe Jim Harbaugh doesn't want to think so, but Deion Sanders said a report he did about players not getting along with the San Francisco 49ers head coach is all true.
Sanders reported Sept. 28 that multiple players told him they wanted Harbaugh to leave the team.
"They
want him out," he said. "They're not on the same page. I really want to
know if they're really playing for the head coach. I got a question
with that. Are you really down with your head coach, San Francisco
49ers? Because the way it looks and what I'm hearing, you're really not
down for your head coach. And that's a problem. They really got some
problems that we hear rumblings. We all know people inside locker
rooms."
During a press conference the next day, Harbaugh said the report was a "bunch of crap."
"Personally,
I think that's a bunch of a crap," Harbaugh said. "If someone has a
good story to tell, they want to put their name to it. If I had a good
story to tell, I'd want to put my name to it, so I don't put a lot of
credibility to the unnamed source."
Sanders said there's plenty of credibility during the pregame show on Thursday Night Football.
"I
have sources. I'm not going to name my sources. I have sources that
wear football uniforms, coats, suits and ties. I didn't stutter, nor did
I stammer. This is real," Sanders said. "You're talking about [49ers
general manager] Trent Baalke, we know there's a rift between he and
Harbaugh, we all know that. That's why the whole Cleveland thing came up
last year. Who's ever heard of thinking about trading a coach. Why
would Cleveland even inquire if there was nothing there? That has
trickled down into the locker room. Not only are my sources correct, I
checked three insiders from different networks and it's 100 percent. You
can shoot the messenger, but the message is real.
