Baalke, post-firing, misses SF's 2011-14 "winning culture"
These quotes, from the 49ers' now-former GM, are something (emphasis added):
Earlier Sunday, Baalke told the radio station that his firing "was the right thing to do."
"You know, I've been here since 2005, and I have a lot of respect for the organization as a whole, and the ownership, the fan base. It's difficult, but it's the right thing to do," Baalke told KNBR Radio.
Asked whether the organization needed sweeping changes, Baalke told KNBR: "Sometimes you need to reset the culture. When you have a winning culture, which we did in 2011, '12, '13 and '14, a lot of good football players. A lot of memorable games we went through together.
A strange coincidence that those four years correspond exactly to the tenure of a certain former 49ers head coach.

Both are very possible.

The internet and social media are flypaper for morons, and MGoBlog is no exception.

Because they ARE the same type of people.
Top to bottom, your post is spot on. Unfortunately (in some cases).

There were plenty of UM fans who wanted to shitcan Carr after the '96 season.

And their pedophile-enabling, JoePa worshiping, delusional fans.

But I heard that Jim Harbaugh had worn out his welcome with the players and he was on the downswing.
January 2nd, 2017 at 10:27 AM ^
I kind of want to thank Baalke for being such a douche. Helped in bringing coach Harbaugh home.
January 2nd, 2017 at 10:33 AM ^
I am assuming that someone, somewhere asked JIm Tomsula for a statement on this, and in a fashion only Tomsula could manage, he said about half of a sentence, let one rip, then mumbled something incomprehensible before taking another bite of his Subway sandwich.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of Michigan fans who are complete dumb asses.

Baalke is a tool but Jed York is the real dufus running that shit show into the ground.

People questioning Harbaugh are complete and utter .... <fill in the blank>. How quickly we forget the crap seasons not 2 years removed. How quickly we forget the lack of strategy and planning from Hoke. No headset. Putting injured players back onto the field. MIssing on elite prospects. How about RR era? Beating IL 67-65.
Bunch of babies.
January 2nd, 2017 at 3:40 PM ^
Preach.
(And maybe get a shave.)
January 2nd, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^
to beat the Illini 67-65.

January 2nd, 2017 at 4:11 PM ^
gm's do matter more, although the fact they simply ignored harbaugh entirely in that conversation is more than petty.

I heard a report yesterday that York had wanted to hire Adam Gase, but Baalke talked him out of it and they went with Kelly instead. Now Gase is a COY candidate with the Dolphins.
