SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jim Harbaugh walked through the locker room saying emotional goodbyes, offering a handshake or hug while wishing his players well and planning his long-anticipated but bittersweet departure from the San Francisco 49ers.He just didnt specify where exactly he is headed next, though it might wind up being one of footballs most poorly kept secrets. The hints were everywhere.Harbaugh would neither confirm nor deny that he is indeed about to accept the job at alma mater, Michigan, except to acknowledge he wouldnt be around come Monday.When asked specifically about taking over the Wolverines program, he said, There will be announcements made concerning those things.Harbaugh will not fulfil the final season of his $25 million, five-year contract coaching the 49ers that he signed in January 2011, reaching a mutual agreement with the team to part ways. The announcement came after Sundays 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals and following an 8-8 season in which San Francisco had hoped to establish some momentum in new $1.3 billion Levis Stadium.Its been the time of my life, Harbaugh said. Been a lot of great memories, great moments. ... Its been a tremendous four years, its been a pleasure to work and serve for this organization. I feel great about what we accomplished.Might he miss the NFL if he moves to Ann Arbor?Is the NFL going somewhere? Harbaugh quipped.Harbaugh and his players gathered for one final, familiar chant: Whos got it better than us? No-body!The last, Whos got it better than us? I said it as loud as I could, said wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who could soon follow the San Francisco coachs departure. I guess they say every good thing comes to an end.The unraveling of 2014 began months ago, almost a year back, really. San Francisco lost in the NFC championship game last January at Seattle, then watched the rival Seahawks go on to win it all. Shortly after, CEO Jed York acknowledged the Cleveland Browns inquired about trading for Harbaugh.The 49ers saw thousands of empty seats at most games this season. San Francisco was eliminated from playoff contention with a 17-7 loss at Seattle on Dec. 14, its second defeat to the rival Seahawks in an 18-day stretch.Harbaugh guided the 49ers to three straight NFC championship games and a Super Bowl near miss.Jim and I have come to the conclusion that it is in our mutual best interest to move in different directions, York said. We thank Jim for bringing a tremendous competitive nature and a great passion for the game to the 49ers. He and his staff restored a winning culture that has been the standard for our franchise throughout its history.The 49ers came oh so close to their sixth Super Bowl championship after the 2012 season, losing 34-31 to Harbaughs big brother, John, and the Baltimore Ravens.Harbaugh had a 49-22-1 overall record in four years with San Francisco, which might look to promote from within to replace him. Defensive line coach Jim Tomsulas name has been mentioned.From his signature outfit of khaki pants and a black 49ers pullover to his signature phrases and motivational tactics, Harbaugh did things his way. And, largely, his way worked.But not this season, when star linebacker Patrick Willis was one of several key players to go down with injuries on what had been one of the NFLs stingiest defences.Its a business, running back Frank Gore said. I wish Coach Harbaugh the best. Hes a great coach. I like how he approached the game of football. My best years, they were with him as a team.Harbaughs future was in doubt all season after he didnt receive the contract extension York publicly said he hoped to work out. Neither side seemed particularly focused on doing so.Then, when the 49ers lost at home 19-3 on Thanksgiving night to Seattle, York turned to Twitter to express his discontent with the team — perhaps only a preview of a relationship that couldnt be repaired.He wrote: Thank you #49ersfaithful for coming out strong tonight. This performance wasnt acceptable. I apologize for that.Harbaugh pulled off a tremendous four-year turnaround at Stanford before doing the same for a 49ers franchise that had suffered an eight-year playoff drought.Im forever proud to have been a part of this, Harbaugh said. I feel we accomplished great things. Tremendous football.Harbaugh said all season he would not be fazed by the constant chatter about his fate, or by those outside the organization questioning whether he had lost the locker room.Some people hate you, some people love you, and most of those people dont even know you, he told The AP in October. You take it with a grain of salt, smile, and go about your business.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLWholesale Paul George Shoes . -- The Oakland Athletics and free agent right-hander Bartolo Colon have agreed to terms on a US$2 million, one-year contract, bolstering their depleted starting rotation.

PAUL, Minn.Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Johnny Manziel is in the headlines again for all the wrong reasons. The most recent incident took place at an apartment complex early Saturday morning, according to a police report obtained by CleveScene.com. An eager Browns fan sparked a massive fight at The 9, a high-end apartment complex in Cleveland where many pro athletes live, when he approached Manziel for a hug. Cleveland police were reportedly called at 2:36 a.m. early Saturday for a report of a riot involving 20 men and two security guards. The alleged victim, 33-year-old Chris Gonos, saw Manziel while waiting for an elevator. Gonos pointed Manziel out to his girlfriend and started to approach the quarterback. According to the report, at this time victim stated to the unidentified male, Im the biggest Browns fan ever, I love you, I want to give you a hug. Gonos was promptly punched in the face by Manziels crew, giving the man a swollen lip, right eye swollen, (and) red face. CleveScene got the following comments from Gonos: Yeah, it actually all started through me. We had a room -- it was my brothers birthday -- so we were staying at the Metropolitan at the 9. We partied there, and at the end of the night I was going back up to my room, and I noticed the guy. I was like, Man, thats Johnny Manziel. They were trying to keep it quiet, keep it low, and I was like Johnny Football! I was just excited. But anyways, I went to give him like a handshake, or dap or whatever you want to call it, one of his buddies like tackled me. It was going down, a whole bunch of people started fighting. It ended pretty quick. I got a bruised hip and a bruised elbow, and somebody hit me in the back of the head, too. My brother saw what was going on and he ran he tackled Johhny Manziel -- I guess he got the sack and the fumble. He tackkled him, yeah, Im talking about he speared him all the way to the back wall.dddddddddddd I was cornered; I was by myself and Johnny Manziel and like three or four of his buddies were all coming at me. (My brother) just came to help me out, and I guess Johnny sucker-punched him while the security guard was holding him. It should be all on video. No [one was arrested], like 20 officers came and I was sitting in the lobby because I did not do anything wrong but be a fan. All these cops run into the lobby, and theyre like, Who was fighting, who was fighting? and I just raised my hand, and was like, listen, watch the camera, and stuff like that. I may be guilty of being a fan, but thats about it. I even showed them the guy that sucker-punched me and the cops walked right up to him, talking to him for a while, and they let us all go. They just told me I had to leave the hotel, and me and my ride, we left. Manziel never punched me, but he got a sucker-punch on my brother. I know somebody else in the group smashed Johnny right in the face. Smashed him, smashed him. I watched the whole game to see if we could spot him on the sidelines. Browns general manager Ray Farmer released the following statement: We are aware of the incident and are in the process of gathering additional information in order to gain a complete understanding of what occurred. Nonetheless, the time of the incident is concerning to us. We continually stress to all of our players the importance of sound decision-making in an effort to avoid putting themselves in these types of situations. We have addressed this appropriately with the player and will have no further comment at this time. Manziel, selected with the 22nd overall pick in Mays draft, was fined $12,000 by the NFL for a hand gesture (flipping the bird) that he made in a preseason loss to the Washington Redskins. ' ' '
