If I owned the San Francisco 49ers, I’d fire CEO Jed York, GM Trent Baalke, and Head Coach Jim Tomsula and his entire coaching staff. The first thing I’d do is take over the GM position and offer the Head Coaching job to Stanford’s David Shaw. I’d let Coach Shaw lead the 49ers back to glory but not before I give him the best 49 players to put on the field. I’ve won a few Fantasy Football Leagues in my day. If I know anything, it’s how to put a team together. The Niners need a fresh start with a coach who has been a head coach and someone who knows how to win. I think the only thing Tomsula knows how to do is fart in a press conference and pretend it wasn’t him. His, “he who to smelt it dealt it”, porn star mustachioed face is no longer needed in the 49er locker room. Coach Shaw the job is yours.
The 49ers really do have some very good skill players on Offense. I am a Kaepernick fan and I keep him at Quarterback. I love Carlos Hyde and he stays at running back. Jarryd Hayne becomes my fullback. I think Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith can be breakout wide receivers if Kap has enough time to get them the football. Garrett Celek becomes the Tight End. I trade Vernon Davis and Vance McDonald and my next 3 number two draft picks to pick up the best offensive lineman I can find, probably a Guard and a Center. Alex Boone might be the only guy I keep on the Offensive Line.
The Niners are still pretty solid defensively. I wouldn’t make a lot of changes except this – we need linebackers. The defensive line and the defensive backs are pretty good. I like to build the defense through the draft. I recommend to Coach Shaw we go with a brand new 3-3-5 defensive scheme on every down. That’s right, just 3 down lineman, 3 linebackers and 5 defensive backs. We need men who are in excellent condition, who can defend the pass, and blitz the Quarterback. This is a passing league. The time is now for adaptation. Bottom line, it’s Coach Shaw’s call, but I’m going to give him some new lineman and new linebackers.
Special Teams are in good shape and I wouldn’t change anything there. Dawson and Pinion are a solid Kicker and Punter. I’d only put maniacal linebackers and strong safeties on punt and kickoff teams. Defensive backs and wide receivers on return teams. Speed is the difference maker.
With the more than likely #1 in next year’s Draft, GM Charlie Baker, selects Scooby Wright, Arizona, Linebacker. My #2 is Spencer Drango, Baylor, Offensive Tackle. My #3 is Leonard Floyd, Georgia, Linebacker. My #4 is Kyle Murphy, Offensive Tackle. Can you feel me? Linebacker, Offensive Lineman, Linebacker, Offensive Lineman. I wouldn’t draft for another position.
Now we start coming back to forming the kind of team who competes for the Super Bowl, not the #1 Draft Choice, every year. At 1-3 after 4 games, the 49ers aren’t going anywhere in 2015. It’s time for a change and I’m willing to take on the GM role and lead the greatest team in the NFL back to glory. All I’m asking for is the improbable chance. It can’t be as improbable as the 49ers making the playoffs this year.
