For those worried about the national media reports...

This from Mike Solarte's Twitter (link)

49ers, Panthers reps in tunnel. RT @darrenrovell: Wow. Jim Harbaugh was in quite a rush with Ms. Tafoya. Are negotiations commencing now?

Could have been a joke, but doesn't read like one. A joke would likely have included the Broncos.

(kudos to TylerVagyler for bringing this to the board in the "Next Head Coach" thread)

It's still aggravating that all night we had to hear about who had the number TWO pick and Denver / SF / Michigan as Harbaugh candidates...and I didn't hear Carolina mentioned regarding either Luck or Harbaugh.

Worried? Nope. Annoyed? ja

Who is Ms. Tafoya?

[Mr. Scot]

Who is Ms. Tafoya?

Michelle Tafoya, the ESPN reporter he ran away from.

I wonder if this will play out kind of like the Keyshawn thing did... No one believed it was a possibility and there he was in Charlotte, lol.

Also makes me wonder about the Rivera rumors of someone seeing him at the airport after the playoff blowout against Arizona (although this was before Harbaugh became sucha hot commodity).

Pretty sure that was a rehash of an old joke (Ron Rivera supposedly being spotted at the Charlotte airport).

National media really doesn't know any more than we do.

Just seems like in all instances where Harbaugh was in the spotlight and being interviewed, (as well as his post-game speech on the field) he cut short or ignored reporters to evade the question of what his plans for next season were. Smart guy.

Guess he just didn't want to break the hearts of any die-hard Stanford fans

[TylerVagyler]

This and Gnatt's report of us having contact with him for weeks is getting my hopes up. I just need to go to sleep.

[Jackofalltrades]

It's not appropriate for him to talk about his future right now. Stanford just enjoyed it's most successful season in I don't know how long, he's respectful enough to let then enjoy it.

Not to mention, he probably doesn't know where he'll be, he's probably been a bit preoccupied lately...for some strange reason.

fixed

and I would.

If we were to pick Harbaugh the National media would trash him and us.
