Colin Kaepernick probably annoyed a few members of the San Francisco 49ers front office with a tweet congratulating Jim Harbaugh on Friday.

Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines wiped out Florida 41-7 in the Citrus Bowl, capping off a successful 10-win season in his first year back in the college ranks. His former quarterback at the pro level, the benched Kaepernick, tweeted out a message of support.

Congrats @CoachJim4UM for the 10 win season and the huge bowl victory!

The Wolverines coach replied in kind:

Thanks, Kap! Much appreciated, means a lot! All the best in 2016! https://t.co/0pVMSZWedZ

Harbaugh didn’t leave San Francisco on the best of terms, and Kaepernick, who was championed by Harbaugh, has endured an awful season that has seen him lose his job and likely his roster spot. While Niners execs may not be thrilled with this, plenty of San Francisco fans will echo Kaepernick’s sentiments.
