This franchise has excellent value at the front office positions. Why would they hire a football guy when they don't need one? It's greater value not to have a GM. We are the envy of the league...

I know you are being sarcastic but "value" doesn't work in the front office. that is where the brain trust of your organization should be.

The 49ers have figured out a "new way." A "better way." Why copycat 31 other organizations when you are the envy of the league for your innovative ways?...

Trent Baalke has done a great job, but until we get the guy, this franchise will not get very far! The previous success that we once enjoyed will be a distant memory.

Listen to Matt Barrows on KNBR today!

Those people cost money that the Yorks don't want to part with.

Our ownership just keeps hiring inept/first-time coaches, and handing them the keys to the kingdom (in personnel decisions).

Ed Roski and Larry Ellison would hire football guys.
