| San Francisco, CA (MySportsbook) - Jim Harbaugh is moving on, but not going very far. Ending days of speculation, Harbaugh left Stanford to become head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, opting to take a job 30 minutes down the road with an underachieving NFL franchise rather than remain with a rising collegiate program he led to a record-setting season. Harbaugh, 47, signed a multi-year deal with the 49ers to become their 18th head coach and was introduced Friday during a press conference at a downtown San Fran |

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Jim Harbaugh turned Stanford from a Pac-10 doormat into a national power in his four years as coach on the Farm.

Luck announced Thursday that he would stay in school for another year until he graduates rather then become the like |
