The Move that sparked the turnaround for the Franchise

Its all in the eye of the beholder and can be interpreted in different ways. But, If you go back to last season's Rams game debacle and how Singletary's bouncing back in fourth of QB's was handled, which led to his firing with 1 game left, sparked a change. As a fan I can see that this meant enough with the Bull s**t . I remember the NFL and fans talking so much s**t about Singletary's firing with 1 game left, but that right there was a statement saying I'm done with the bull s**t and I need to start looking for a Head coach right now, not next week or the week after , but right muthaf**king now. To me, that's what changed the atmosphere and If I were a player on the team, I would've taken that move with a sense that something good was gonna happen. Whether or not the 49ers make it to round 2 of the Playoffs or get to the Divisional round or get a bye doesn't matter. What matters is that SF is relevant again. And each game, Opponents will dread going into a game with this team.

I think Singletary proved over and over again at various moments that he was in over his head as a head coach.

And Harbaugh, in 6 games with this team, has proven that Singletary should never be a HC, on the NFL level, ever again.

the turnaround was Jed deciding to make Baalke GM, because Baalke and Harbaugh are BFFs.

Sing is a dead horse. I'm going to credit Jed York here. He and we wanted Harbaugh. To make that happen he needed Baalke's help and in return gave Baalke the GM position. Fans and the media was all over him for promoting someone inexperienced from within instead of looking outside for a vet GM. He stood firm, took all the sh*t from us and the media.

Jed you made it happened. Thank you

Baalke and Harbaugh are doing a wonderful job. This season, I felt the philly game was the moment the niners started to play at a high level. I'm not sure what happened at halftime but since then the niners have played at a high level.
