Looking forward to him replacing Bobby Turner as our RB coach once Bobby decides to enjoy his retirement years.
I think it's neat he finishes with 16,000 rush yds on the dot.

He said his achievement he is most proud of is setting the record for most games by an RB. People said he didn't have durability cuz of his injuries in college so to get the all time RB games record means a lot..

He's going to scout RBs for us.... I think that's one area we really need help in the scouting department.

Frank is not even a top 5 guy when you look at certain things, especially winning.

But it's so hard to leave him off that list, I agree with yours as well. He was just a special 49er, on and off the field.

Frank was unlucky to be on the team during some of our worst years as an organization. The other guys on that list were fortunate to all play at the same time which helped elevate the perception of their careers (not that they weren't great on their own).

Make it a top 7 to get Merton Hanks and BY in there
I love you. If I somehow create a time machine within the next few years I'd definitely go back in time to get you that ring

I haven't read all the comments and it's probably been said, but... Imagine if we had a back like Gore in his prime during the 19 or 21 seasons... We would have #6 and probably #7. Would have finished the Chiefs, and finished the Rams for sure.

Imagining what prime Gore could have done with KS as his HC makes me sad.
