After listening to the Jim Harbaugh “goodbye” in the press conference you could tell it was over and wasn’t very long after his press conference that the 49ers released a statement saying they have parted ways mutually with Jim Harbaugh with no constraints.
From the 49ers:
The San Francisco 49ers and Jim Harbaugh have mutually agreed to part ways. The 49ers organization has begun its search for the team’s next head coach, while Harbaugh is now free to consider his next coaching opportunity without any constraints.
49ers CEO Jed York and General Manager Trent Baalke will hold a press conference in the Levi’s® Stadium auditorium at 1:00 p.m. PST on Monday, December 29, to address the announcement and the organization’s subsequent coaching search.

“Jim and I have come to the conclusion that it is in our mutual best interest to move in different directions,” said York. “We thank Jim for bringing a tremendous competitive nature and a great passion for the game to the 49ers. He and his staff restored a winning culture that has been the standard for our franchise throughout its history. Their commitment and hard work resulted in a period of success that should be looked back on proudly by our organization and our fans. We wish Jim and his family all the best.”
Michigan officials, who traveled to the Bay Area to meet with Harbaugh after his final 49ers game, believe they will be taking Harbaugh and his wife to Ann Arbor with them on Monday, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Harbaugh would not specifically address the Michigan stories.
“There will be announcements made concerning those things,” Harbaugh said.
