Paraag Marathe Thread

SOMETHING at the top has to give. If it is true that Marathe's numbers have found their way into TOO much of the football-related work (who to draft, who should coach, when to challenge, etc.), then I say good ridance!

Right off the wire from ESPN:

"49ers president to be reassigned
Paraag Marathe has been team president for nearly two years but will see his duties changed after the Super Bowl to allow him to handle other interests within the organization, according to ESPN and media reports. The 49ers are in last place in the NFC West and face their second straight non-winning season."

What down it is?

"Why didn't you tell me to challenge that call!" or "Why did you ask me to challenge that call and cost me a TO!?"

NM, I saw I was late.

Nobody is getting rid of him...just his title of President. He'll remain the lead for contract negotiations and will continue to head the analytics department (and help with outside business). Guido will step in as the President.

Now, what does this mean for Gamble/Baalke/Tomsula?

Probably depends on how the season plays out is my guess. Sigh.

John Clayton said that he believes that Baalke is staying and Tomsula is going.

Baalke getting rid of potential non team player for unilateral control.

This would make the most sense...confirming Tomsula was a lame duck coach all along (giving him the promotion he deserved while also giving him a chance to audition for the job) but the aftermath of that hire was about as counter-productive as it gets. I have a strong suspicion this is only the tip of the iceberg.

HA it's about time Jed did something right!

This is what Paraag should have been doing all along! Finally the first step

I thought he did a good job on Kaep's contract. Giving the team an out on every year. Very good foresight.

I could NOT agree more. He's an absolutely brilliant contract guy. That CK contract may go down as the best contract in history. Why? Looked how eff'd the Ravens are now with a QB with a torn ACL/MCL? If Willow gets hurt? Your entire franchise is screwed.

I actually have no issues with him heading the analytics team either. Those are tools you can use to help find those gems (Draughn and others) but they can only be used as a tool to help see the bigger picture. The football guys need to be able to make the final decisions.

To summarize...
