Coach’s Departure Leaves 49ers in Uncertain Times

Coach’s Departure Leaves 49ers in Uncertain Times

 

It’s hard to blame head coach Jim Tomsula for what happened to the San Francisco 49ers during the 2015 NFL season. The 8-8 team lost a dozen starter-caliber players after the 2014 campaign and head coach Jim Harbaugh, which meant Tomsula always was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The longtime defensive line coach took over after Harbaugh left for Big Ten pastures in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but there was still a sense that the overrated and underqualified 47-year-old would serve in some kind of permanent role.  although this is a bit of an oxymoron.

Somehow, Tomsula was only given one season to perform the miracle, and – to no one’s surprise – he failed. The reality, of course, is that no one could have coached this version of the 49ers to the playoffs, not with its hollow defense, lack of a franchise quarterback and tough division.

The 49ers had to struggle in 2015 and struggled, winning just five games. Therefore, there was no demand for Tomsula before the interim period in 2015. However, owner Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke gave him the keys to a broken down car with no brakes.Most of us saw the accident when he left the field.The 49ers had to struggle in 2015 and struggled, winning just five games.

Therefore, Tomsula was not asked until the 2015 offseason. However, owner Jed York and managing director Trent Baalke gave him the keys to a broken down car with no brakes.Most of us saw the accident when he left the field.

That team entering the 2015 campaign was seemingly still reeling from an unprecedented offseason that saw them lose Harbaugh and key cogs Chris Borland and Anthony Davis (to sudden retirement), Patrick Willis and Justin Smith (to less-than-sudden retirement) , Perrish Cox, Chris Culliver, Mike Iupati, Michael Crabtree, Stevie Johnson and Frank Gore (for free agency) and Aldon Smith and Ray McDonald (for stupidity).

Nobody can afford to lose a dozen players like that, especially when their supposed quarterback—in this case, Colin Kaepernick—falls flat on his face. The young and dynamic center only lasted half a season before Blaine freakin’and#039 was benched; During Gabbert’s tenure, he was one of the worst starters in football..
