Jim Harbaugh prepares to 'get it right' with 49ers (w/video)

After a humiliating loss to the Seahawks on Thanksgiving, Jim Harbaugh said Monday he wants to 'get it right' against the Raiders on Sunday.|

SANTA CLARA — Jim Harbaugh won't say whether he has spoken to San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York since the owner took to Twitter on Thursday night about a performance that "wasn't acceptable," or if they have even recently discussed his coaching future with the franchise.

He would say they hadn't talked about his employment status during the weekend. San Francisco's 19-3 loss to the Seahawks on Thanksgiving and the ugly aftermath was still plenty fresh four days later.

"Nobody that's for us was happy about losing the game, losing a big game," Harbaugh said. "We're still not happy about it. Our job is, my job, let's talk about my job. My job is to get it right. That's what we're attacking today, without excuse. Onward to the Raiders."

Harbaugh also said Monday that offensive coordinator Greg Roman will remain the play-caller and said he has "unwavering support for all our coaches and our players."

Harbaugh said neither management nor ownership has asked him to make any changes on the staff. General manager Trent Baalke's daughter, Cassie, posted on her now-defunct Twitter account late Thursday: "Greg Roman can take a hike..the 49ers don't want you no more." After her words were a pair of icons of hands clapping.

Trent Baalke issued a statement Friday that they both had apologized to Roman for the "unfortunate matter."

Baalke watched the beginning of Monday afternoon's practice, even leaning over with hands on knees as the linebackers went through their individual drills.

When pushed about whether they have at least addressed York's public comments or the feelings about the game, Harbaugh responded: "To me, that's not significant. What's significant is we move on without excuse and get it right, make it right. That's our jobs."

Harbaugh declined to acknowledge whether he even wants to return in 2015 for the final year of his $25 million, five-year contract, instead turning to what became his regular response Monday: "What I want is to attack this week and get it right."

San Francisco (7-5) is back to work after the humiliating loss that put its playoff hopes in serious jeopardy.

Next up is a short road game against the one-win Raiders (1-11) in Oakland on Sunday. Harbaugh was so curt he wasn't even in the mood to reflect on what he learned during his early coaching days with the Raiders under late owner Al Davis, noting that time is already "well-documented."

Again, Harbaugh is trying to remain focused on getting through each week with the playoffs still within reach. San Francisco goes to Seattle next week before playing its final two games at home, against San Diego and Arizona.

"I don't worry about my future," Harbaugh said. "Haven't participated in any of that speculation. I think I have a recessive gene for worrying about my own future."
