Ted Robinson was on KNBR yesterday when someone called and went into a rant about the Yorks and how Jed was too young, etc. Robinson politely informed them that Jed is a very bright guy, and he really gets it. He understands the way a franchise should be properly run and will be "making some changes."
Other teams are a good resource in a situation like this as well. We must remember, this league is considered a joint enterprise. They practiced revenue sharing before Obama ever dreamed of it. Therefore, when one franchise is struggling, it behoves other owners to help get them back on the road to profitability. Right now the 49er brand isn't selling well at all. That hurts other teams and players. We can be sure Jed is getting plenty of advice about how to get this train back on the tracks.
Ted Robinson said something nice about his BOSS. Shocking.
In Jed's short tenure, all we have are the few moves he's made to rate his job performance. So far, I must say, he's doing a real sh*tty job.
Go back and see what Jed has to say about hiring Mike Singletary. He felt that Singletary would bring extra intensity. He felt that the team was getting "out-intensitied" under Mike Nolan. Could he have been more wrong?
Don't tell me that this guy "gets it". He obviously does not. He's a jackass.
