That completely reeks of arrogance. Now arrogance necessarily isnt a bad thing if you are RIGHT. If you are good at what you do, there isnt a damn thing wrong with it but if youre wrong..........
Either Jed and Baalke are incredible visionaries at the top of their games or they will both look really, really foolish. Only time will tell.
This is troubling...and it fits with what I was thinking regarding Marathe moving in over Yu, the legal action regarding age discrimination, and the way rumors were leaked.

I hear he's classy, has a lot of integrity, the players absolutely love him, he's also reportedly cheap and desperate.
Geep graduated from Princeton, Tarver has a biochemistry degree from Santa Clara...they're putting together an all mensa staff!

$3.5MM is good money for a 1st time HC who is being elevated directly from a coordinator position. Tomsula is probably getting overpaid, if you comparably evaluate his experience, relative to other 1st time HCs. Seeing as he does not have an agent, I'm sure that more than fair amount was exactly what Trent offered initially. Not a cheap move. Gase would have been crazy to expect much more than that. $4MM tops, but he probably would have made $3.5MM wherever he landed, if he had gotten one of the HC jobs.
