The San Francisco 49ers are just 26 months removed from playing in a Super Bowl, but after an 8-8 season in 2015 and the departure of coach Jim Harbaugh and veteran Patrick Willis, the Niners are in crisis mode. According to former 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia, the problem starts at the very top.

Garcia told the Times-Standard that the 49ers’ future is cloudy with Harbaugh in Ann Arbor.

“It’s unfortunate because you look at a team that was highly competitive, that was on the cusp, that went to a Super Bowl, that was a play away from winning a Super Bowl, that was a play away from going to another Super Bowl. And now, where are they going to be?”

Garcia, who went to three Pro Bowls as a member of the 49ers but saw the team take a step back after the firing of Steve Mariucci, also questioned if 49ers executives, like CEO Jed York, have the experience necessary to steer the team in the right direction.
