49ers set to promote DL coach Jim Tomsula to head coach

[Spesh]

York indicated to people in the building as far back as last summer that he was pretty sure Tomsula could win more games than Harbaugh.

I've heard, coincidentally, that Harbaugh got wind of that management sentiment and he and Tomsula barely spoke in the last several weeks of Harbaugh's tenure here.

Kawakami reports the team went with Tomsula over some higher-profile candidates because he wouldn't clash with upper management the way Harbaugh did.

Incredible the way York worked to systematically undermine Harbaugh. The conspiracy theorist in me says York did this just so they could have a losing season in order to sell fans on the idea of a change.

And im with Sons of Shula on this one, York wanted a yes man. Baalke was all to happy to sign off on this hire as his number one goal was to keep his power over the roster. Baalke was going to fight any possible hire that had the potential to step on his toes.

This is going to be epic when it blows up.
