Harbaugh has implemented his own version of the WCO this year. But it's still developing.

In most conventional offenses, the idea is to run the ball to draw the safeties and linebackers in closer to the line of scrimmage, thus opening up passing lanes for a vertical attack. The West Coast Offense does just the opposite, using a quick, horizontal passing attack to set up the running game.To get a consenus about what kind of offense the Niners are really playing, I asked the question on NinerNation.com. I'll tell y'all about it when I get one.</blockquote>
