As a Niners fan, I wish Jed would relieve himself of football duties. Herm Edwards was on Mike & Mike this morning and he said this is the National Football League not Fantasy Football. Our Niners haven't been right since Eddie Jr lost control of the team. The Yorks had an issue with Mariucci and Harbaugh. You tell me who the common denominator is in this mess.My Niners need more than a coach. Young Jed is Jerry Jones-lite. He's an exec (actually passed down to him) that fancies himself a football person. He has an inept GM who he refuses to fire, and he won't hire a REAL team president (he fills that role himself). Problems are much deeper. Tomsula is a very very nice man who should have never been given the job in the first place (just like Singletary never should have been hired). Going from position coach (not coordinator) very rarely works out well. The only recent exception I can think of is Mike Tomlin but that had more to do with the fact that he was taking over for a coach who had left on his own (not been fired), and with a Super Bowl winning roster still very much intact.
It was mentioned on Finebaum that it's widely known that Mora is looking to jump in the big pond again. If it happens, who knows?What do you mean "UCLA might be"? Have I missed something? Have you heard this or it's a personal hunch? Not questioning you, just curious!
Personally I think Kiffin is back one more year, but the right offer could change that! I see the 49ers going Holmgren or something like that. They need a "Momma is calling name" I think! Or at least one that can make some waves.
Was his parents running it in the ground first. And when Jed took over, because he was so close with Eddie, I thought he would actually be an extension of Eddie (i.e. Eddie actually running it). But he chose Baalke (at his uncle's behest) and chose him over Singletary (which he should have). He chose Baalke over Harbaugh. And Tomsula back-stabbed Harbaugh (thus Jim's cryptic tweet last night: "Be not deceived. You will reap what you sow."). He's married to Baalke. Jay Glazer flat out said that most big time coaches DO NOT want to work with Baalke. We've missed on a ton of great prospects in the draft, because Baalke is convinced that he's the smartest guy in the room. He's been trying to rebuild the secondary for THREE drafts!! Does it really take that long? Meanwhile, our offensive line is decimated. Our defensive line can't stay healthy to save their lives. Just bad.As a Niners fan, I wish Jed would relieve himself of football duties. Herm Edwards was on Mike & Mike this morning and he said this is the National Football League not Fantasy Football.
