49ers sack coach Tomsula after ending 2015 dismal campaign
Well, accountable on his terms.
“This season was frustrating on a number of levels”, York said in the media conference that lasted more than 27 minutes. The 49ers would get an improved coach if they hire Shanahan. But he saw the frequent shots fans took at him there. Clark turned a franchise around that had awful teams for almost three years.
York’s time at the podium Monday produced no indication of that happening, which was another takeaway.
Shortly after the firing was announced, now-Michigan coach Harbaugh appeared to chime in on Twitter: “Do not be deceived”.
York did not give much insight into the head coaching search but he did say the team is looking for someone who is a “leader”. In fact, the well-held notion is that you ran him out of town. I think I understand what fans want.
Nor will they be, it seems. We will try to keep this as close to the vest as possible.
Dawson made a victor of coach Jim Tomsula in what was likely his last game with the 49ers. York said the team has a “short list” of candidates but wouldn’t comment further as to potential interviews or whether any prospective coach has reached out to the organization.
But York did vow that he won’t be tweeting as much in the future. You’re going to make mistakes. Some of the criticisms from fans.
The 28-year-old Kaepernick’s $11.9 million 2016 contract would become fully guaranteed for injury if he is still on the roster on April 1, to which Baalke said, “I’m not anxious about April 1, I’m more anxious about getting him healthy and getting him ready for the offseason program”. It’s ultimately a distraction. I think I lost a little bit more hair. “Overall, the year what I’ve had and to be here and part of the team has been incredible and more than what I could have imagined”.
“I’m going to compete”. The big news was Baalke staying, a day after Tomsula going. “It’s a second-by-second news cycle and I can’t add to that”.
Baalke will be in charge of hiring the new head coach of the team. They have some nice talent on the roster, but they need to find the right guy to put it all together.
Just a year after being hired as an NFL head coach, Jim Tomsula might be on his way out of the league. He talked about wanting a coach with vision and desire to win a championship, but he offered few specifics.
“It’s up to the Niners if they still want me”, Hayne said. He contended, after speculation that the team was going to be sold, that his family had owned the team since before he was born and that they will continue to own the team long after he is gone.
And what about temperament?
Recently fired Eagles coach Chip Kelly also took notice, but for entirely different reasons than Harbaugh.
Tomsula waved and signed autographs upon walking into the stadium before kickoff, then kept the focus on his players after the win.
Those questions weren’t answered Monday. “We’re in need of somebody who can win Super Bowls, period”.
ESPN retold Harbaugh’s exit from San Francisco of less than a year ago, noting that Harbaugh refuted the 49ers’ contention that the parting was mutual.
