Eric Davis is new 49er color analyst, Plummer apparently out

I love how this has become a "family values" issue. Are pro athletes supposed to be carrying the Bible everywhere they go? What would you rather have, the naughty, nasty 9ers of the 80s and 90s or the wholesome teams of the past decade with their schoolboy coaches? Plummer did exercise poor judgment with the interview, but what he said about the 9ers on the air was spot on. It is a shame when the front office of the team you love prefers a superficial public image (losing business model for many teams including the 9ers and Plowboys) over a team with real substance (Patriots, Steelers and Packers) warts (Big Ben, Belichick the cheater) and all.

Sigh... as recent as 2008 we had what I believed was the best radio PBP team in the NFL (Starkey and Plummer). Now, we may very well have the worst

At least we don't have Bob Fitzgerald.

That whole Gary Plummer interview reminded me of the show Playmakers when that Alex Smith lookalike told the equipment manager to go bring him a woman during halftime

Plummer said it was his criticism of the team -- not his crude remarks -- that got him booted from the broadcast booth. He said 49ers executives came to him "at least four times, maybe five" last season to warn him that he was being too hard on the team during broadcasts.

Asked how he responded to those meetings, Plummer said:"I literally asked them, 'How much powdered sugar do you want me to put on dog (waste) to make it taste good? We're 0-5. We're last in the league in offense, and we've had three players quit."

that's not even why they fired him. the ownership hates being criticized for the pathetic product they've put on the field the last 8 years.
