Reports are flying around about the disappointment in the CEO of the 49ers, one Sir Jed Hides-a-lot, is getting his once-shiny, and now mangled and tattered, toy taken away from him. Jason La Canfora, and now Ted Robinson, have come out and stated that Jed will be de-frocked a la Game of Thrones, and lose his title of CEO as the team hires a real live football guy to take over.
No insight here other than it only took Dr. Kedorkian 7 years to take unadulterated shit flung at him by an angry fan base to move his fledgling stooge into his spot as lead crap-catcher. Well, 9 years of varying levels of a short amount of success followed by a dismantling of any and all talent and a revolving door coaching staff has led to 1-12.
Hmm. Maybe it’s time to hire people that now and understand the game. Not projectionists and contract massagers. The talk is our once and future OC, Kinda Milquetoast Mad Mike Shananahan will come on as Exec of football ops, and his son Krazy Kyle will fill the GM role or some shit.
Can’t say I’m enamored with the prospect, but Jesus Christ, this would be worlds better than the shitshow we are currently participating in . . .
Stay tuned . . .
This is where I’m going right now after watching the Seahawks winning the NFC West.
At least we get music on this blog. On the “other” blog you get Bullit and Bakkentom and Spit!
OUCH!!!!!!
Harbaugh wanted Harbaugh gone, RTF. He saw the writing on the wall with the impending talent drain, and the continuing draft failures of Baalke. Beyond that, what I think doesn’t really matter. Harbaugh wouldn’t have won with the team in the shape it is in now so the point is moot. He wanted Michigan over every other HC job in the world.
Harbaugh went 8-8 with a much more talented team that as constituted now. Do you think he’d be winning with this team?
Other than that, the only other alternative out of this is Jed firing Baalke 3 years ago and hiring another GM. The future could have been different. But who knows? Better? Sure. Good enough? We’ll never know.
Seattle doesn’t worry me at all. They are going to crater in the playoffs.
Saw Chicago in 1975 at Day on the Green #1. Great show.
Mainly because the option would have been Tom Gamble. Better I’m sure, but Super Bowl worthy? Hard to say.
It’s December 17th and my heater doesn’t work and it’s cold! 38 degrees outside but the sun is coming up strong. Baalke still sucks and Jed for sure must go! What a sorry pair.
Bring on the music videos. This game is a joke. Jed should fire the whole team in Atlanta and declare the season is OVER!
i liked steve young’s comment about sending every single person out to the parking lot and the only ones to come back in are the ones that are part of the solution. except getting 48 more people in the draft and FA is kinda hard.
I had absolutely no expectations for this game, it was an automatic loss. Right now I would say the team is just going through the motions. The team is just like everyone else waiting for the end of the season to see who gets fired, demoted, or just flat out leaves.
It’s good to see that we all found something better to do than watch 49er football today. Once again it was a waste of time. Thanks Jed.
And to keep the agony going,John Dork just said: Its all false reporting that Jed is being stripped of power!
So the hits just keep on coming from the once proud franchise.
that shouldn’t surprise you. The York’s look at the Niners as an ATM machine, they could give a shit if they win or not.
As of the 18th of December, “Jed must go” and “Baalke sucks” is as apt as ever.
The fact that there isn’t more anger at home is bothersome to me.
It isn’t that they aren’t giving it their all, they are severely outmanned. And out coached. And out front officed.
It’s also looking rather obvious that Chip needs a QB to make this Offense go.
It is literally killing the Defense that this stooge can’t get first downs.
Hard to say at this point if Kaep gets Chip fired or not.
As was beaten to death on the game call, Defenses sit on the short stuff and stop it all day.
It’s beyond pathetic at this point.
2 weeks until judgement day at least.
Can hardly wait for another Jed-licious presser to warm our Faithful cockles.
No fun, or heightened intrigue from Dr Daddy either.
Jed appears safe. (For what Godforsaken reason I can’t understand).
They’ll jettison Baalke.
Bringing it back to square one.
16 years and counting, of business minded, penny-pinching stooges, trying to run a football franchise.
I’m numb.
A whole lot of “outs.”
The glorious FO Triumvirate of PB&J will likely be reduced to P&J in short order.
Yet another predictable 180° turn in the circular firing squad of Head Football Coaches/GMs, being discarded in favor of nepotism and, the almighty bottom line of the Corporate Ledger.
“We thank Trent for all his hard work and dedication, yada, yada,yada”
Gotta stock up on cold beer and munchies, oughta be a hoot of yet another meeting of the minds on the SF dais.
Be nice, if some of the Faithful could crash the event, and erect a Cabana in front the dais, to block the Boy King from view quite frankly.
Clueless minion of the Penny Pinching Emperor behind the curtain.
Fuck Jed York sideways with a rusty chainsaw. [End of Message]
Ditto
Jed at his presser will probably want to discuss his cabana in Los Altos Hills that uppity community in the foothills above the bay. “I got mine, fellas. Where’s yours?”
NJ, this isn’t about Kaepernick. This is about Baalke. Baalke is the coach killer. The roster starts and ends with him. It’s about Jed York not doing anything about his dysfunctional front office year after year.
Chip Kelly is playing a short hand every game. I’m not sold on him, but again, it’s hard to determine what he could do with better players. He did OK in Philly till he ruined that roster.
Query: Are they tarping sections of the upper deck at Levi’s?
He recruited Harbaugh Chuck. They won plenty in that arrangement too.
How I see it is, Paraag carried way too much influence on the way the team was financially structured.
Harbaugh wanted to pay Vets. Paraag wanted to control costs.Perfect ingredients for a dispute? How does your Cap Mgr even play into that relationship otherwise? Or, have media leaks assigned to his position to undermine the HC?
How do you explain the efforts to recruit Gase, and the reason why it didn’t happen?
Baalke sought ways to improve the football product while the Yorks sought ways to improve the bottom line.
Indeed, Baalke came up way short on the Offensive side of the equation and has sought guys like Gase and Chip to improve it.
Reports from Day 1 also suggest that Harbaugh chose Kaep.
I’d also suggest that Kaep’s development issues fell more on the Coaches than the GM.
Miss on the QB, not much happens on the Offense.
All things considered, we’re 9er fans and want to see improvement.
I want football guys to run the football ops.
Until the York’s step out of that dynamic, we’re destined to see more of the same.
