The current guy brought them to 2-14 with very little to look forward to next year. While I would like someone with some experience and a proven track record, it looks like they all turned down the job. They didn't seem to like an ownership situation where there is a culture of leaking to the press to undermine employees who have fallen out of favour. They didn't seem to like an ownership group that wanted to hire a coach and then find a GM to work with their choice. Overall it just seems like the best candidates didn't want an ownership group that is meddlesome and dysfunctional.
So the 49ers went with a curious pick. Maybe it will work, there's really no way to know for sure. What they had with Trent Baalke wasn't working. But Jed sure does love his national media guys.
