Lowell Cohn's new column

Fast post, I was just going to make a thread, and I rarely do that, because.. I saw NOTHING that was not true or not needed to get done. talk about hitting a nail on the head.

I have to admit I'm reading this and a smile starts to spread across my mug, then as I get to the end I'm almost laughing. It's like I'm reading my own mind and thinking, what must the A Smith supporters be thinking, what rebuttal could they possibly come up with, what?

The Niners problems are so transparent, so easy to see. But as Cohn says, even ownership is substandard so how can any decent changes be made? We are going to have to rely on some big time luck at the end of the season, hoping that a few things can get sorted so our team can use what talent is has, develop new talent coming in and put an organizational structure in place that gets Cred/respect in the NFL..

Which will, lead to Wins... Help us please football Gods!

Is that all you ever think about? You know it's bad to be obsessed about about a bunch of "nemesises" or whatever you call them on an internet forum right?

First, the 9ers aren't EVER going to move to LA. As I have said b4 the NFL won't allow it. But If the Yorks were to just pick up and leave the bay area the NFL would make sure that the Yorks leave the History, the Colors, and the Name, "San Francisco 49ers" in SF.

Secondly Mr. Ed Roski's Firm Requirement for ANY team moving into his proposed Stadium in LA is that he becomes a Full Vested Partner in their Franchise. Now if you think that the York Family is going to take on a Partner in their NFL Franchise, I've got a bridge to sell to you in Death Valley. The Yorks won't even employ Mr. DeBartolo's help in Santa Clara!

DUMP YORK, im ready

No short cuts, he does not get paid by the Establishment that's for sure. His column sums up the 49er organization top to bottomless.

I actually felt bad for him when I read his post. It seems like message boarding has got the best of a few people.

I am confused on what exactly he means by "getting it right"? Does he mean if Johnson works out, which had nothing to do with him? Or is he suggesting that Sing would be fired and hire a legitimate coach if the Niners fall hard?

Johnson is Sing's last ditch effort, and could make or break his job. This is similar to how Smith is going to make or break our season.

I agree with the hiring of Sing, as it seemed he was just given the job following half of 2008. We should have at least waited and seen what would come available. You guys all talk like "selling" the team is the answer.

My fears would be moving the team or even selling to a worse owner than we currently have. Trust me, there are worst owners than the Yorks...

There are no owners worse than the Yorks, and moving the team would be nothing short of a blessing.

moving the team??? STOP POSTING!!

Cohn's analysis is dead on. Too bad he didn't offer any alternatives to shoot down...

you know Roy williams for the cowboys said it best i think..The coaches arnt there blocking,throwing,catching,running the ball the players are.I just dont get why everyone is after Sings head i mean everyone loved him just a year ago..Raye was a retard I do agree with that but I think we finished that problem..Watch we win vs the Rams Sunday..GO NINERS!!!!

It's true the coaches aren't out there blocking, catching, running, etc. But out of all the sports, I think football is the only one where coaching really makes a difference in the game. In all the other sports, it's mostly about the skill of the players. In football, the coach's schemes, philosophy and game plan actually makes a difference. (At least in relation to other sports.) That's why it's such a great game. The coaches actually have this "chess game" going and it makes a very real difference on the field.

I like the chess comparison to football as I do feel that the head coach is the player. Just like chess, you have to put the players in position to make plays. Much of chess is the setup, and getting the pieces in position to go for the kill. If our HC cannot get the players in the correct position to make plays (i.e. proper scheme, gameplanning, etc.), their chance at success is dramatically reduced.

Wow, way to prove a point, Bali-Niner.

f**k all this frustration about our team and how it's turning us against each other. Too many smart people on here for that. There are so many more constructive things we could do if we all really managed to get along and worked toward a common goal.

So... how do we get the Yorks to sell the team to Steve and Brent? We know how stubborn they are... we know who's really in charge and she doesn't have a penis... I think. Hmm... f**k, I just woke up, my brain takes at least an hour to get up to speed.

You three. Yeah, you guys being silly and poking fun at each other that I just quoted, get started on this s**t right away while my brain powers up. kk?

EDIT: See? Stupid brain won't even let me quote a damn post right the first time yet.

is it really necessary to quote one another so much? this thread looks like the olympics of quoting. everyone read the other person's quote and reposting that quote 5 times doesn't make your argument more valid.
