What the Fuuuuu …….???

What in the wide wide world of sports is going in here? This exhaustive search yields Mike Tomsula? I was all ready to see what the Niner offense could become under a young innovative mind like Adam Gase, but it ain’t happening apparently.

How this is supposed to work now defies logic. I can see promoting Dangio for the sake of the defense, and for continuity. Or going and getting a guy like Gase to revamp the offense, but Tomsula? Nothing against the guy, but he’s not the fiery leader who would appear to be the one to lead them to the promised land.

Signing Tomsula guarantees Fangio leaves. So now we need a DC AND an OC. I guess we have to wait and see what the next moves are coordinator-wise, but as of now I ain’t too thrilled.

    Huh. I saw it against on Comcast.net that everyone is gone.

    Something that did strike me was, Boldin and Vernon’s reactions.
    Vernon suggesting he’ll report on time seems more of an indictment of Harbaugh now?
    Boone as well?

    Beginning to think the mini-mutiny was orchestrated against Harbaugh.

    Jesse Sapolu feels good about the Tomsula promotion –

    Not too many people paid Bruce Arians much attention, when he took over as an interim HC in Indy.
    He’s surprised more than a few folks since then too.

    Tomsula looks like Nolan II…

    BTW, Jed York, after one moment of clarity hiring Harbs 4 years ago, is back to being a dolt…

      I wouldn’t give Jed too much credit Snarkk, I think Baalke recruited Harbaugh.
      But, that’s just my 2-cents worth.

      Unfortunately, we got close several times, only to fail.

    For what it’s worth, few people who’ve played, or coached with him, have a negative thing to say about him.
    I’ll give him his due.

    We still have to assemble an Offensive Staff around him, as we would have had to do for Fangio or, anyone else for that matter.

    Steve Young always raved about Trestman so, I guess it’s all a matter of opinion?
    Results will speak for themselves next year.
    We’re 8-8 as it stands now.

    Bill Callahan may hit the market.
    Might be worth gauging his interest?
    OL/OC experience might be a good option?

  9. NJ49ER's avatar NJ49er says:

    Don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t retain Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Mark Uyeyama?
    Pretty sure he was aboard prior to Harbaugh?

    Looks like Boone approves of Tomsula as well –

    Harbaugh’s stench is being cleaned out with a fire hose. What really went wrong? The true story is yet to be told.

    I sure like the reaction from some players and some former players to the hiring of Tomsula. He was on my short list. I hope he isn’t too nice.

  13. Berger's avatar Berger says:

    I’m leaning toward Callahan or Trestman as OC. Trestman is more dynamic than Callahan. Bill is a run first type who still knows how to pass the ball around. Those two were together one year and it reminded me of Callahan and Linehan this year in Dallas. Callahan and Trestman were together the last time the Raiders went to the SB with Gannon as QB. Gannon had his best year and was MVP.

  14. Berger's avatar Berger says:

    For DC I’d like somebody less conservative than Fangio. He had great numbers but his lack of a pass rush cost us in too many games. I know the saying is live and die by the sword and I’m better with that than the slow death we suffered vs too many teams this year. Giving Carr all day to throw and losing to the Raiders was as painful as it gets. He did wonders with all the injuries so it is hard to not give him much props. I just want somebody who is more aggressive. I’ll take the sword to the heart over slow death.

  15. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Well, hard to say how much of that was due to suspensions and injuries. But the early games (Bears, AZ) the lack of a pass rush directly led to those losses. And what I could not fathom was the firdt StL game, we were stunting wildly, blitzing from different people and angles, and generally causing a lot of confusion for StL. It looked like the perfect recipe for disrupting P Manning, Of course, vs Denver we went with a straight 4 man rush that day and got no pressure on Manning. And of course we got torched.

    Curious. It seemed to be more of the flawed idea from St. Jim that when you find something that works, you don’t do it again.

    Raider game? Same thing. It was pitch and catch with Carr all game. Sorry to see fangio go, but then again . . .

    Ray Rhodes, where are you now?

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Well, my adage has been if you can’t cover, blitz.

    It’s either the death by 1,000 cuts, or getting hit with a big play. If you have some semblance of offense you can overcome the occasional big play.

    But constantly giving up 10-15 play drives will wear you down every time.

    Well it may not have been the best choice, but the players know who their coach is now. And like comments here and on TV or radio, it all comes down to who will be the OC to develope Kaep. I heard on KNBR that he is keeping Rathman. The rest is up in the air.
