Some players on the San Francisco 49ers would like Jim Harbaugh to be replaced as head coach, according to Deion Sanders.

"They want him out. They're not on the same page," Sanders said. "I really want to know if they're really playing for the head coach. I got a question with that. Are you really down with your head coach, San Francisco 49ers? Because the way it looks and what I'm hearing, you're really not down for your head coach. And that's a problem.

"They really got some problems that we hear rumblings. We all know people inside locker rooms."

Harbaugh was asked about those comments during his Monday press conference.

"Personally, I think that's a bunch of crap," said Harbaugh.

Sanders didn't specify which players he spoke to, but he was involved with Michael Crabtree early in his career.

Ian Rapoport also reported that grumblings about Harbaugh are getting "louder and louder" because he treats his players like "children."
