SportsTalk Live that he had spoken to the head coach on Wednesday about the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually just had this conversation yesterday,\u201d York said. \u201cLots of people were talking to him about it. We just said, &#8216;You know what, let&#8217;s not do anything during the season. Let&#8217;s sit down a week or so after the season is over and let everybody know we&#8217;re not focused on anything that&#8217;s off the field right now.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJim and I will sit down a week or so after the season is over and we&#8217;ll figure out where we go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>York did not seem concerned that Harbaugh could lead the 49ers to a Super Bowl and thus demand a larger deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, Jim&#8217;s here for the next two years under contract,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd like I&#8217;ve said publicly and very loudly in the past, I hope he has the utmost leverage when we sit down and talk about his contract at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a good thing. It&#8217;s an unbelievable problem to have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harbaugh is entering the fourth-year of the original five-year, $25 million contract he signed in January 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers had not had a winning season in eight years prior to Harbaugh&#8217;s arrival. He has compiled a 36-11-1 record during the regular season and appeared in three straight NFC Championship games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Francisco 49ers and head coach Jim Harbaugh have not reached an agreement on a new deal.
