During his Monday press conference, Harbaugh stated that he had been working hard to do things properly since he was 22 years old. Concerning criticism, Harbaugh stated that he is fine with it as long as it is not directed at his young children or the players on his team.

“Yet, If the criticism is directed at me, and not on my adolescent kids at home or the players on the football team, then I’m okay with it.”
