Brandon Jacobs: Jim Harbaugh knows nothing about football
Former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs played just one season for Jim Harbaugh with the San Francisco 49ers in 2012, but the lone season didn’t leave Jacobs with a lasting impression, Kyle Schnitzer of the New York Post reports.
“Jim, I had a lot of respect for Jim when I was there — before I got to know him,” Jacobs said on CBS Sports Radio. “I enjoyed my time there, but we didn’t see eye-to-eye. I knew a little bit more about football than what they led on.”
Jacobs and Harbaugh probably never met eye-to-eye because Jacobs practically did nothing to contribute during his lone season in San Francisco. After missing the first two months of the season with a knee injury, Jacobs played sparingly where had just five carries for seven yards in two games for the 49ers. He was then suspended for bashing the team on Instagram and released before the postseason.
The 49ers went 11-4-1 and lost in the Super Bowl XLVII to the Baltimore Ravens, 34-31. But despite the team’s immensely successful season, Jacobs said that Harbaugh had no clue what he was really doing.
“Going somewhere where they don’t have route conversions into certain coverages was just absurd,” said Jacobs, who won two Super Bowls with the Giants. “They’re just running routes in the defense, getting people killed. Size and strength is what they had, and that’s why they won. Let’s be real. They had great assistant coaches, but Jim didn’t know what he was doing. Jim had no idea. Jim is throwing slants into Cover-2 safeties, getting people hurt. That guy knew nothing, man.”
