Harbaugh has now gone outside his collegiate coaching pipeline to tab longtime NFL assistant Ed Donatell as defensive backs coach, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Donatell last coached in Denver, overseeing a secondary that helped the Broncos to rank third in the NFL in 2009. Their ranking fell to 25th in 2010, mostly because of injuries and the worst pass rush in football.

Donatell brings to San Francisco a wealth of experience both as a coordinator and position coach. He was Jim Mora’s defensive coordinator in Atlanta from 2004 until 2006, and ran the defense for Mike Sherman in Green Bay from 2000 to 2003.

That sucks. Donatell is one of the best DB coaches in the game and IMO should have got the DC job after Nolan punked out.

Donatell wouldn't take orders on how to run his defense from McDaniels, so he didn't get the job. It's not his style.

He was one of the only coaches we had that I liked - good luck to him in San Fran.
