And from this point forward, the author of this humble weblog decided to give the 49ers the benefit of the doubt. Am I a card-carrying member of the Chip Kelly Fan Club (if such a club or card existed)? Not really. That might be David Neumann, the fine football writer for Niners Nation who spelled […]
“I would say this; we’ve got several years of Jimmy T’s salary left and we’re going to eat it. Whether he’s coaching somewhere else or not, we owe him that. That’s not a concern. I could have easily come out here and said, ‘Hey we had a lot of injuries this year. A lot of […]
A source told Kyle McLorg that Trent Baalke “loves” Hue Jackson, and by all accounts thus far the former Raiders head coach and current Bengals offensive coordinator has been the 49ers’ top target. And Jackson would certainly be an upgrade, because he knows Xs and Os and is a lot more polished than Jim Tomsula. […]
On Dec. 29, 2014, we witnessed one of the most remarkable press conferences in this region’s history that didn’t include Al Davis and his overhead projector. Jed York and Trent Baalke sat side by side, and with a healthy dose of arrogance, looked down their noses at the masses while explaining how better they’d be […]
Do not be deceived. You will reap what you sow. — Coach Harbaugh (@CoachJim4UM) January 4, 2016 Damn. This was 2Pac filleting Bad Boy Records on “Hit ‘Em Up.” This was the tweet Harbaugh saved in his brain days/weeks/months ago. Maybe it popped in there almost two years ago. Whenever he realized Jim Tomsula had […]
“Culture is huge. That’s the difference between a championship-caliber team and a championship team,” York says. “You look at the Golden State Warriors. They were the dumbest team in the NBA for letting Mark Jackson go, who won the most games in the franchise’s history. How could you be so dumb? They bring in Steve […]
A little more than a year after Jed York and Jim Harbaugh engaged in the awkwardest hug in football history that didn’t include Roger Goodell at the NFL Draft, Jim Tomsula may be coaching his last game for the San Francisco 49ers. As a head coach, anyway. Pro Football Talk: Per a league source, G.M. […]
Twitter started out so well for Jed York. He was a young, innovative CEO who connected with fans via the social network in ways that screamed, “Hey guys, I’m in my early 30s. I’m hip and with it!” Some fans probably even thought he was “cool” … compared to other NFL owners, anyway … when […]
Al Guido, who had never been quoted on football matters before Jay Feely sideline reported about him on Sunday, let the football world know how the 49ers feel about Jim Tomsula. As the team readies itself for two more meaningless games, a process hopefully has started in which the 49ers take a long, hard look […]
They say the cream always rises to the top. But after the milk turns sour, eventually the curdled chunks find their way up there, too. It’s going to be hilarious — and a little sad — listening to Ted Robinson and the other glorified cheerleaders explain this one. We’re still waiting for Jed York’s postgame […]
Kevin Lynch wrote a slideshow piece for SFGate titled “10 reasons not to fire Jim Tomsula and the 49ers coaching staff.” While Tomsula and others in the organization will probably appreciate Lynch’s efforts, the story wasn’t necessary. Here’s a list of 10 reasons why there is absolutely no way the 49ers will even consider firing […]
