Most businesses or teams hire too quickly and take too long to fire. My advice to York is to take his time. There may not even be an NFL season in 2011. Go slowly, there are plenty of good candidates for each job.

he’s conducting a poorly conceived pr campaign designed to insult the intelligence of the 49ers fans. everyone knows that he’s hiring baalke as his gm.

that “gut” feeling that he’s supposed to use is the same gut feeling that he used to promote singletary without interviewing more experienced candidates and it’s the same gut feeling he used to promote mccloughan who ultimately had some serious family and substance abuse issues to contend with.

jed should stay away from using his gut feeling and stick to the facts.

@90ragtop
what “other” hood? Don’t you mean one of the “many” other hoods from the old 49ers? But I wouldn’t call these people hoods; I would just say they were illegal entrepreneurs who just stumbled into legal enterprises.
Policy was just one of the small potatoes.

“Didn’t DeBartolo totally screw up the creation of the NEW Browns with his great hire of Dwight Clark?”

Mike this guy is only 29. When he is 60 and looks back
maybe he will realize what a “gut” feeling is, till then we wait. Getting that gut felling takes a lot of falling down and getting up, and grinding. If you haven’t done it you can’t get it.

How come every time Eddie D. moves his hand, I see his nephew’s mouth open and close?

Easy for you to say, Uncle Eddie. Jed hardly has a “gut” yet.

Is it just me or is this guy looking more and more like Joe Pesci in JFK?

Wasn’t DeBartolo not much older than York when he hired Walsh and McVay. Seemed to work out ok. Shall we wait and see if York makes a choice or not….

Great a 29 year old rich kid is going to make a gut feeling on who the GM will be. NICE. This is why they will sucka$$ for the next 5 yrs.

Does York think he may need some help now or is he going to hire a puppet gm?
