It’s “What If?” week at SB Nation, where we are looking back at how a significant event or decision impacted the future of a franchise.
As a San Francisco 49ers fan, I look back at the Super Bowl XLVII loss to the Baltimore Ravens and how things would have been different if the Niners would have completed the comeback.
Jim Harbaugh took over as head coach prior to the 2011 season. I don’t think any of us expected the 49ers to become one of the best teams in the league so early in his tenure, but with some elite pieces in place, San Francisco went 13-3 in 2011.
