i like jed york and i think he will be good for our franchise.. he seems like he is gonna be willing to spend the money that is neccesary. the guy is young. just learning but i think he is doing a decent job. i respect that he is sticking by singletarys side. *but i think the only reason he has stuck by him is because we are still in the hunt, yes its slim but we still are* but i know if we miss the playoffs.. he is gone. niners will win tonight. no worries guys. the niners always show up and play really well on prime time games.. yeah they lost the last few. but they where against pretty good teams lol and they still gave them a run for there money.

And I wouldn't want to work for someone who couldn't multi-task and that isn't bold/decisive in making decisions.

It's not difficult to replace your losing head coach with an interim staff member AND continue with your long-term head coaching "due diligence" at the same time. If you find doing both at the same time difficult, you don't belong in the NFL, much less in the business world in general.

You should always be in a rush to fire incompetent personnel. If you're slow and indecisive in this area, you pay the price. But in particular, when an NFL coach shows this level of incompetence, you MUST fire his ass and not wait until the end of the year. Doing so only reflects poorly on you...it shows you to be just as incompetent if not more so (not to mention, tone-deaf and stubborn to the point of ignorance) for allowing things to continue as they are.

Just my take.

Oh, I couldn't disagree with you more. I could just as easily argue that firing a HC without giving him a chance to turn things around reflects just as poorly on ownership as what you are suggesting. Jed HAS shown decisiveness by firing Nolan when McCloughan and his parents wouldn't. It has come out already (that Singletary is on the hot seat-back when the 49ers were 0-5). Realistically the 49ers are going nowhere. However with this division being so dreadful, the 49ers are still mathematically alive for the playoffs. Once the 49ers get to 3-10, 4-11 it makes sense to start planning for next year (as far as coaching changes), but at that point, you might as well wait until after the season. How you treat your employees goes a long way in attracting top candidates from outside the organization. The best thing Jed can do is keep quiet, publically support Sing, while doing his homework on a Gruden, Harbaugh, Shurmur (Rams OC), etc.

You really think Jon Gruden or Jim Harbaugh is going to take this job, with no QB, and owners that fire their coach every 2 years?

...and remember how quickly Kurt Warner realized that this was not the right place for him after spending only 45 minutes with the coach.
