He played coy when asked about his next move.

"I just want to enjoy this. I hope you give me that. Can a guy have that?" Harbaugh said. "Does it always have to be, ‘What’s next, what’s the future?’"

Harbaugh let one plan out as he spoke to the media. He said he would indeed follow through on the 15-0 tattoo he vowed to get if the team had an undefeated season.

"I’m going to put it on my shoulder – I don’t know if it’s my left or right yet," he added. "I’m a right-handed quarterback. I’ll probably get it on my right. And then an ‘M’ that’s a maize and blue ‘M.’ Also that signifies a thousand in Roman numerals. Can’t tell you what that means to us, too, that we reached 1,000 wins this year."
