Great podcast sorry if already posted.

The guy said he talked to several people across NFL front offices and they were unilaterally surprised and annoyed by the Niners.

Great.

I do hope for the best but f**k you Jed.

Why would they be "annoyed" and why the f**k would it matter? f**k them.

because we took something they wanted

Exactly. We beat them to it.

With each passing day I like the hire better. With Peters in the fold I really like it.

Shanahan is still the prize no question.

At least no more acl projects!!

My main concern is that Jed has a propensity to overcorrect into making wrong decisions. Singletary was the complete opposite of Nolan in that Nolan wasn't really a good leader of men. Tomsula was the complete opposite of Harbaugh then Chip was the opposite of Tomsula.

None of these worked out. Instead of simply looking for a sound well rounded candidate, he swings to hard in opposite directions. Lynch appears to be the opposite of Baalke.

Yeah, the fun we thought we were getting with Chip.I hope he lands on his feet somewhere, though.

I heard the same thing on "Inside the NFL" tonite.....and they did mention there were guys who put in their time ....who didn't get hired and were hacked off by it. Kinda funny to be the pig with lipstick on one week, and then NFL "analysts" and potential GM candidates crying sour grapes when the York's finally do what should have been done 17 yrs ago. Yes it was a great move, and tough tiddy for the sore losers who lost out...or worse, weren't even considered.

We aren't there yet, but at least we are at long last ,finally started. And that, in itself, should make us all happy...for at least one day. I think this yr could be one helluva lot of fun.

That's a great insight. Hadn't seen that whole chain of coaches in that way before.

"This hire is like (fill in stupid analogy that doesn't really apply to the situation)".

Eh, if you know it's all hot air anyways it's not too bad.

In short, we're making a bold move but we're a bad franchise so it might blow up on us

Here's my guess as to what his take is gonna be:

"This hire is like when you ask your GIRLfriend to make some poTAto salad for a party, but she really just goes to the STORE to buy some. It still might be great, but ya PRObably should've made it yourself."

I should have a s**tty radio show...

Except for one huge thing, Jed didn't pick anyone not named singletary and harbaugh

I am strangely unconcerned at this point. I got over my WTF moment, remove the calls for Steve Young type to come in, and thought, wow! Jed basically did just that. I like his first hire, I like that he and Shanahan seem to be a good team, at least from what we know so far.

I am just going to let it ride and hope for the best. I bet we are a better team this year, and much better in 2018.


I absolutely detested the Kelly hiring, and couldn't real understand the Tomsula thing. I am happy that it was a swing for the fences instead of a supposedly safer group of retreads, or some unproven clone understudy coming in. Blow it up, start it over and let er rip.

Sorry, I'm kinda slow in the head this morning, but does that mean Baalke had a part in it too?

5AM, Hawaii is 3 hours behind us here in the West Coast.

False. Hawaii is currently 2 hours behind California.

I thought it was 3 hours. My bad.

Simply put, there's only one thing that will silence critics, and that's winning. We've got a ways to go before we can see what the results are. But again, most of us expect year one to be a transition year anyway -- and that was regardless of who became GM -- so why not use the transition year to get a guy like Lynch settled in while you lay the foundation?

We got a guy who is fully committed to working in harmony with the HC to build the team the way he and Shanahan both want it. A "true partnership" as it's been said. Yes, basically every team strives for an explosive offense and lockdown defense, but we'll have two guys who know what each looks like and what it takes to make each of those things.

During daylight savings time, it is. During standard time months, it is 2 hours.

Yeah Arizona is one hour off from California for half the year and the same time the rest of the year.
