Overview

  • Harbaugh’s agreement was completed over the weekend as a five-year contract reported at about $100 million.
  • Reporting from The Athletic, cited by Newsweek, says the deal hinged on a clause placing Harbaugh under John Mara rather than GM Joe Schoen.
  • The New York Post notes both Harbaugh and Schoen will report directly to Mara under the new hierarchy.
  • The Athletic’s account, as relayed by Newsweek, adds that in any draft-day stalemate between coach and GM, Harbaugh would have the final say.
