Tomsula? Come on man.

Hopefully, he is moving to Alaska.

Still can't believe Baalke hired Tomsula over Gase.... AND JED ALLOWED IT. If I were the owner I would fire Baalke on the spot for even suggesting to hire Tomsula...

Not hard to believe Trent had a huge ego problem and thought he was smarter then everyone else.He needed a puppet who he could control and Tomsula fit that bill.Players were even saying that year that Trent was coaching them.

Stole?

Dude was probably too busy selling signed memorabilia than scouting for the draft

Jed probably gave it to him in an effort to erase the past.

now, all of the sudden, a meddling owner is acceptable.

Wow, I haven't been here since Harbaugh was fired, and this is the first I've heard of this story. Wow, just wow. Glad he's gone.

My 2 cents on Baalke, was "meh" with the hire at the time because I wanted us to hire someone outside the organization(hmm..). he got off to a promising start by hiring Harbaugh, solid 2011 draft,& signing key FAs after the lockout, everyone began singing his praise and it may have gotten to his head,after a period of time he seemed to be so sure that this roster was so stacked regardless if it was 2013 or 2016, he almost ignored free agency entirely(especially after 2012) and when questioned he promised that we'd "build through the draft" but he arrogantly picked project players with injuries, or "best player available" when he should have been trying to trade up with all the draft picks he stockpiled for a potential star that could've maybe helped close the gap for a championship or fill glaring roster holes, he was so certain that this was an elite roster that he thought any idiot(cough Tomsula) could coach this team and still compete. Never met the guy but he came off as a smug arrogant prick with a deflating ego. It doesn't help that he's clashed with every single head coach he's worked with. He did a few things right, but should be nothing more than a scout from here on out. Hopefully we can stay away from the Mike Nolan/ Bill Parcells influence
