Comments on: Former GM proud of his old team, while trying to beat them http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/25/former-gm-proud-of-his-old-team-while-trying-to-beat-them/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 18:25:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mi6agent http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/25/former-gm-proud-of-his-old-team-while-trying-to-beat-them/#comment-2293474 Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:00:57 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1676261#comment-2293474 Niners would not fire a GM from his family matter. Alcohol? Come on. Players who had done drug just only got suspension after warnings. So why he was then hired by the Seagulls? Scott was let go overnight. It seems like the matter was discovered then the settlement followed the next day. Probably Steven Spielberg will make a movie about this mystery someday.

He surely had some great drafts and a couple of bombs as well. Kentwan Balmer and the Chilo Rachal over Desean Jackson was clearly the most epic fail. But the good far outweighed the bad.

You can question why he was let go, but the Niners have fared pretty well since. He still deserves some credit for helping us get here though.

But everything happens for a reason, I guess. Baalke/Harbaugh for life!

He’s a good coach, but there were many other contributing factors to their success.

I smell a mole??
