<< Warriors beat Hornets,page 15 • York,Baalke meet with Harbaugh,page 12

Jed better be correct ed York better pray that his new gen- eral manager, Trent Baalke, can land JStanford coach Jim Harbaugh to be the San Francisco 49ers new head coach. Because if not, the 49er Faithful may just riot and burn down 4949 Centennial Drive in Santa Clara. Because let me tell you: Just based on the responses on social media sites, many Niner fans just don’t understand the hiring of Baalke. Here York is spewing on about how he’s going to conduct a national search and get input from all these well-respected NFL gurus, when he had Baalke at the head of his list from the get go. I can’t imagine Bill Parcells or Robert Kraft, the Patriots owner, sug- gested Baalke as the perfect fit. If York was so thrilled with Baalke’s performance as player personnel guy this season, why didn’t he just promote Baalke and be done with it, instead of foisting this charade on the fans? And while I’m on the topic of NFL coaches, when did Raiders’ offensive coor- dinator Hue Jackson become the second coming of Bill Walsh? Everyone is raving about how awesome this guy is, how he turned around a floundering Oakland offense. Sure, the Raiders became a top-10 offense this season, but they finally got some production out of guys who were expected to do so.
