The line that Mike Nolan was fired under "circumstances as mysterious" as McCloughan's tells you all you need to know about the writer and the article. WTF was "mysterious" about Nolan getting fired?

Don't you remember all the BS/drama during the week of his wiring? The will he/won't he be fired hoopla? It was probably more dramafied than this.

The fact that McCloughan doesn't seem like he's fighting to keep his job or throwing a hissy fit at least publicly, should tell us that his dismissal is justified whether it be for personal or football reasons.

Rumor has it that Jed York walked in on him fapping to shirtless pictures of Zak Keasey.

It's just the Yorks being stupid and self destructing the team like they always do. Only the Yorks could come up with a plan to get rid of the GM 5 weeks before the draft with no replacement on hand. They could have done it at the very beginning of the offseason and may have been able to land the likes of Holmgren or Shannahan in the role if they were willing to pay for it. But they aren't willing to pay for it and everything the Yorks do is reactionary and spur of the moment with no forward planning. It's how the roll. Destroy the team and figure out the consequences later. It's how they have rolled for a decade.
You don't get it. They are not looking to bring someone from outside the organization in to replace Scott. THAT'S why it doesn't matter that he was canned 5 weeks before the draft. The Niners are going to make Baalk, Gamble, or Marathe GM and the team will continue forward with little change in the short term.
This in my opinion is not at all reactionary or spur of the moment, but a culmination of discretions that led to the change. I don't think for a moment that the management had any interest at all in GM candidates outside the team earlier this off-season. I think if anything, the team waited too long.
... and Balke it is !
True too, the team had no interest in GM candidates; but, more importantly, no GM candidates had any interest in the Niners. Why would a strong GM accept the restrictive conditions set by York?
Only a tool would do it ... and Balke it is !

There's some truth 'bout the fact that after five years the niners still are'nt a sexy place to come to an be a coach or player.
Linehan has chosen the Lions last year, some big names have signed with the Lions and that despite the fact that Matt Millen has been the GM there.
It's a problem that starts at the top with the owners but also with the GM who has to create and convince people that the dark days of Donahue are over.
Still that does not seem to be the fact.
Jed also has to show that he's more like Eddie than his father.
In many aspects this is a crucial season.
Qb decision, GM desicion, ownership decision...

I stopped reading after you mentioned that there were "big names" who signed with Matt Millen when he was in Detroit.
Your post is BS. Stop.

RealFootball365 may be a better source for information compared to PFW...
Please. PFW's been around for 40+ years. Who knows how much of their story is accurate, but they're not a bunch of charlatans just trying to make a name for themselves.
They certainly seem to have no problem using large portions of another writer's work and yet not credit that writer or the publication for which he works.
