Jim Harbaugh definitely will be getting a call from HBO and NFL Films during the off-season.

From Taylor Price of 49ers.com:

Jim Harbaugh likes to keep things close to the vest.

But that doesn’t mean the 49ers coach is against his team being featured on NFL Films’ “Hard Knocks” reality show.

“If that’s something we were in position to do, then we’d certainly do it,” the 49ers coach said on Wednesday.

And more.

He also understands that the popularity of the show will keep it around for a long time.

“There’s going to be teams that are going to be on ‘Hard Knocks’ and that seems like a popular thing and something people want to see,” Harbaugh said. “So, I don’t see it going away. You could stamp your feet and say I don’t want to do it, but I don’t know how productive that is for anybody concerned.”

Harbaugh said the 49ers haven’t been “tempted” to do the show during his three seasons with the club.

But he did admit to watching the reality show.

“I find it quite entertaining,” Harbaugh said.

Harbaugh definitely would be entertaining on Hard Knocks. However, don’t pencil in the 49ers just yet.

Under the new criteria, teams that make the playoffs two years in a row can’t be forced to do the show.
