The New Orleans Saints contacted the San Francisco 49ers in an attempt to interview secondary coach Ed Donatell for their vacant defensive coordinator position, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and NFL.com. This according to a source with knowledge of the Saints' plans. However, Donatell is under contract with the 49ers, and the team made the decision not to permit the interview.
A person who has spoken with Donatell said while he'd like to be a coordinator eventually, he is "extremely happy" coaching on the 49ers' staff next season. He enjoys working under coordinator Vic Fangio and for coach Jim Harbaugh, so he holds no ill will toward the Niners. Donatell has lauded the 49ers environment, and he hopes another year in the system will continue to make him a stronger candidate, the person said.

There has been wide debate over the last play of the Super Bowl, in which it appeared Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith was holding 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree. There was no penalty called on the play, and many are left wondering what might have been if there was.
49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh was adamant that there was holding on the play, and he recently elaborated on how...

If the Harbaugh brothers weren’t such fierce competitors, they would not have been coaching against one another last Sunday. It has been nearly five full days since the Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, but fierce competitors hate losing. That would explain why Jim Harbaugh has still yet to speak to John Harbaugh. During an appearance on “The...

Given about 40 hours to reflect, Jim Harbaugh would only acknowledge the obvious today: Why, yes, he wishes the 49ers had called a play that gained five yards during the last two minutes of the Super Bowl.
Harbaugh, predictably, wasnt in the mood for public self-flagellation when asked about San Franciscos much-scrutinized play-calling at the end of its 34-31 loss to the Ravens...

Given his inability to keep a straight face, Jim Harbaugh must be a horrible poker player. So it was hardly surprising when the 49ers coach told the media shortly after the Ravens' 34-31 Super Bowl win that he thought the officials missed a pass interference call on wide receiver Michael Crabtree that would've given the 49ers a first-and-goal with 1:50 to go in the game....

The 49ers were nearly flawless throughout the second half of Super Bowl XLVII. But when push came to shove down near the goal line with the game on the line, they just couldn’t convert.
Colin Kaepernick played brilliantly throughout the second half, hitting receivers in stride consistently and using the pistol offense to both his and Frank Gore‘s advantage. Under his guidance...

On Friday I stated the Ravens would win by 3 points in a close game. It sure didn’t start out that way, but it sure ended that way.
It was a Super Bowl of firsts; a fake field goal, a 34 minute power outage in the 3rd quarter, and brother vs brother (John vs. Jim Harbaugh). The half time if anyone cared also saw the reunion of Destiny’s Child (Beyonce and her band mates Michelle...

The 49ers were down by 22 points in the third quarter but were able to rally together and fight...

We’ve concluded on this site that the no call on contact between Michael Crabtree and Jimmy Smith on the 49ers final offensive play in the Super Bowl was the right decision. Even Mike Pereira, one of the authoritative voices when it comes to officiating, concurred.
We’re now four days removed from the game, but some people evidently can’t let things go. I’m talking about...

There was a report last week that 49ers QB Alex Smith will seek his release before free agency, which starts in March. On Tuesday, head coach Jim Harbaugh all but shot down the notion.
I don't think any player (asking for his release) has those wishes granted when they're under contract, the coach said, according to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. And everything...
