MCT photo Head Coach Jim Harbaugh of the San Francisco 49ers answers questions during Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday. 49ers' coaching troika gets it done By JON WILNER San Jose Mercury News (MCT) SANTA CLARA — The San Francisco 49ers aren't facing any old opponent in Super Bowl XLVII. They are, in a sense, meeting their maker. Baltimore unwittingly helped create the 49ers' powerhouse when it fired assistants Greg Roman and Vic Fangio late last decade, then Ravens coach John Harbaugh turned around and recommended them to his brother. Jim Harbaugh, who was coaching Stanford at the time, heeded the advice and hired Roman and Fangio during a 53-week span that would help transform his career. "Genius hires — those guys changed things for him," said Rick Neuheisel, who coached with Roman and Fangio on the Ravens staff and against them during his tenure at UCLA. "Greg and Vic were terrific additions. It wasn't by accident that Jim's teams went to the top of the line." In three seasons, the Harbaugh-Roman-Fangio partnership has produced a 39-9-1 record, with an Orange Bowl victory, two NFC West titles and a Super Bowl berth. "I don't know that there's a magical answer," Fangio said. "We're three good coaches. We respect each other, and our jobs are clearly defined." Roman and Fangio have known each other for decades. They worked on coach Dom Capers' staffs in Carolina and Houston, then reunited in Baltimore in 2006 under coach Brian Billick. Roman worked with the Ravens' offensive line while Fangio served as a special assistant to the head coach. During the week, he prepped the offensive staff for the opposing defense.

"It doesn't take long being around Vic to realize he has an encyclopedic knowledge of defense," said Neuheisel, who tried to hire Fangio _ twice _ during his tenure at UCLA from 200811. "His grasp of the details is as impressive as anyone I've been around." The Ravens fired Billick after the 2007 season and hired John Harbaugh. Several defensive coaches were retained, including Fangio, but the offensive staff was let go. Roman took a job helping coach his alma mater, Holy Spirit High, in Ventnor, N.J. The following winter, Jim Harbaugh called. He needed someone to coach Stanford's offensive SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Dr. Phil McGraw says Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, who masterminded the dead girlfriend hoax involving Manti Te'o, told him the Notre Dame linebacker was not involved in the scheme and that he ended up falling ''deeply, romantically'' in love with the football player. McGraw spoke on the ''Today'' show Wednesday, previewing an interview he did with Tuiasosopo, a 22-year-old California man who created the fictional woman Te'o knew as Lennay Kekua. Tuiasosopo's interview with McGraw will air in two parts on the ''Dr. Phil Show'' starting today. Since the hoax was revealed earlier this month, Te'o has said the relationship with Kekua started online and eventually became serious, even though the two only talked on the phone and exchanged electronic messages, never meeting in person. Te'o said he was told of Kekua's ''death'' from leukemia just hours after his grandmother died in September. McGraw said Tuiasosopo told him the voice of Kekua was his. Tuiasosopo and Te'o have each said that while the Kekua relationship went on for several years, there were times when they weren't in contact. ''There were many times where Manti and Lennay had broken up. But something would bring them back together whether it was something going on in his life, or in Lennay's life, in this case in my life,'' Tuiasosopo said. Tuiasosopo said he wanted to end the relationship between Kekua and Te'o before he had to fake Kekua's death. ''I wanted to end it because everything I had gone through, I finally realized that I just had to move on with my life and I had to get me, Ronaiah, I had to start just living and let this go,'' Tuiasosopo said. Te'o's publicist, Matthew Hiltzik, declined comment on behalf of Te'o and his family. When the ruse was reported by Deadspin.com on Jan. 16, the report raised the questions about whether Te'o was involved.

The Celtics charged to a 59-38 halftime lead as they hit 62.5 percent of their shots. They led by at least 14 points the rest of the way against the team that allowed an NBA-worst average of 103.2 points going into the game.
