Tomsula finished his first season in charge at San Francisco with a 5-11 record.
– Will Tran (@KRON4WTran) January 4, 2016York on next coach: We have a clear understanding on what we are looking for. General Manager Trent Baalke will remain with the organization and he is now on the clock.
Robert Klemko of The MMQB reported last week that former Seahawks and Packers head coach (and former 49ers offensive coordinator) Mike Holmgren is interested in being San Francisco’s head coach.
It’s worth noting that the Cleveland Browns, who also have a head coach vacancy, have enlisted a national search firm to expand their vistas in pursuit of their next man. Other teams have done this in the past.
Tomsula became just the eighth National Football League coach to be fired after one season since 2000.
With a lot of pressure from a disenchanted fanbase, Trent Baalke made the tough decision to remove Jim Tomsula as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.
York acknowledged that Baalke and the next coach will work together to decide who controls the 53-man roster.
York delivered a similar pledge a year ago but instead watched the 49ers endure one of the most wretched seasons in team history. Typically a subtweet has an air of mystery – and allows the tweeter to get away with a jab or criticism without having to own it, since there is always ambiguity. Trent Baalke must also go and Jed York needs to quickly fade into the shadows and let someone else run this team – someone who knows what he’;s doing and can fix the damage that has been done not just to the current team, but to the 49ers’ reputation. “And we didn’t get this one right and we need to make sure that we get the next one right”. “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”.
Australian Jarryd Hayne’s first season with the Niners was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, so it was no surprise the final day was full of drama. “I think I’ve internalized that too much and I’ve taken it too personally”, he said. Veteran kicker Phil Dawson, who drilled the game-winning field goal in overtime, was realistic enough to talk about Tomsula in the past tense. “We’re sitting in a very good situation, relative to cap and cash, for this offseason”.
“I don’t think any of us anticipated going 3-13”, said Haslam, who after firing Pettine returned from the team’s headquarters in Berea, Ohio, to FirstEnergy Stadium to speak to the media.
It s ultimately a distraction, York said.
He said he fired Jim Tomsula because the team didn’t improve.
If it is a team or head coach that Jim Tomsula has never worked with before, he might need to answer questions about what happened with Jim Harbaugh. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick says he’ll miss Tomsula. I don’t blame them for refusing to wear their red and gold gear or for finding another team to follow.
