"I know I no longer have it in these feet to go out there and give you guys that kind of 'Wow.'"

"As much as I'd love to win a Super Bowl and to bring number six back here, I have to be honest," Willis said. "I have to tell y'all that if I don't have what I know I need to give to my teammates and the organization the best chance to win, then I can't be out there doing that.

"And to be sitting on the sideline just collecting a paycheck, I feel like that would be wrong. So I stand up here today with that conviction. I understand the magnitude of what I'm doing today."

He stubbed his toe and quit. Screw him. Bowman was better anyway

Gore has said many times he wants to be a RB scout. I hope we hire him.

Definitely something to follow. Not a knock to other greats, but I think Frank Gore would be very dedicated to the job. While I think other guys are interested in helping out the 49ers (or another team), I don't think they have an interest in putting in the hours year round because scouting, coaching, etc IS a full time job.
