I also hope Baalke keeps his nose out of it!
Agree. Seems like Baalke is the de facto coach. That dude better not draft anymore A.J. Jenkins type players
Ummmm, the Singletary Hire was celebrated by all as a absolute no brain-er. The guy would have been a HC for the Falcons if the 49ers didn't move quick. I'm not saying it was a "good" idea but I saw very few posters and articles criticizing the move.
As for the OP's question. This hire feels like the Erickson hire (in regards to reception). The Mooch hire raised flags but he was a Local Cal guy with a loose connection to GB and Favre. Soo, fans accepted it.
This hire is one of those "I really hope Baalke and York know something we don't". I'm not a GM and would fail at trying to be one, so, that's how much my opinion weighs.
