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. […]
The 49ers will probably call today’s 32-17 loss to the Lions a success, because for the first time all season they scored a touchdown in the first quarter. It came on their opening drive, and it looked so easy that one had to wonder if the host team had tanking on their minds. In the […]
Most people following the 49ers have heard the story by now, since it was reported by all the beat writers. Jimmie Ward and Jaquiski Tartt told reporters that the team’s General Manager, Trent Baalke, has spent time coaching them on technique. “He comes down to practice a lot. He’s like another coach,” said Ward, last […]
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 […]
Just remember, today’s game means absolutely nothing. The 49ers told us so. But we’ll get to that in a bit. The team that plays its home games in a swanky library fell apart in the second quarter, and it started when the 49ers thought they had finally converted on third down. Blaine Gabbert fired a […]
It’s Thursday, and Geep Chryst is still the offensive coordinator for an NFL team. And not just any NFL team, either. His team ranks at or near the bottom in almost every offensive category or advanced stat. Yards: 289.4 per game (last) Yards per play: 4.9 (last) Points*: 14.46 per game (last) Offensive TD: 18 […]
Matt Barrows posed a good question last week. Every season has ups and downs. But in no season in recent memory has the mood swung as wildly as this one for the 49ers. Players were dancing and celebrating in the visiting locker room Sunday as if they’d won a playoff game. What will be the […]
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 […]
