Ensatsu gotta be a relative of Marathe

I already said a few pages back that I don't really agree with Jed or Paraag sitting in on interviews for head coaches. That doesn't make any sense to me.

They aren't sitting in, they are running those interviews and might be the only two 49er reps in the room.

Even if Jed and Paraag find a great gm and coach their ego of wanting to control everything and seek constant praise is just going to F it up again.Paraag has gained way too much power and Jed is impulsive.Thats why it's so toxic

It says pretty clear as day that his data opposed the instincts of two guys who are legends in their field, who had built Superbowl winning rosters. Marathe had no business ever being in that room in the first place. Now that he has an absurd amount of power, we know he's been interfering directly into the football side of things pretty extensively as virtually every single coach has had issues with him in the past. An article came out today talking about Chip not liking how involved he was. It all follows the same pattern. The guy is controlling but doesn't know what the f**k he is talking about outside of contracts and the salary cap.

Source?

It only doesn't make sense to you because you refuse to accept that he's anything more than a numbers guy and a cap guru when a s**tload of evidence going back 14 years indicates otherwise. He's had a hand in every aspect of the football operation despite having zero football background before coming to the 49ers.

Now he and Jed are basically the only people choosing the future GM and HC of the 49ers.

sitting in football meetings with head of football operations Paraag Marathe, a numbers guy whose influence over ownership was unparalleled

There were other gripes, too. There was an unspoken curiosity about Marathe's role in the franchise and why he was sitting in meetings that encompassed football evaluation.

#Denial. When virtually every single head coach has complained about Marathe being too involved, but yeah he's just a cap guy because a national reporter has a better idea of what is going on with the team than local guys like Barrows and Maiocco.

Yep.

Don't care about local news.

Until I hear something from Chip where he says Paraag was too involved in football decisions, or from Baalke who says Paraag overruled me on my s**t draft selections, I probably won't believe this crap either. Just seems like a lot of deflecting blame instead of taking personal responsibility.

It shows you how reactive Jed/Paraag are. Both Kelly and Baalke were signing players via Paraag based on both Kelly's and Baalke's recommendations for NEXT year and beyond in identifying players that Kelly (and even O'Neil) wanted to fit their systems; hence the resigning of Vance McDonald and Ray-Ray Armstrong. In fact, Baalke made comments that there could be several more signings that month (December). They all halted suddenly.

Based on the timing and the comments made by Kelly on his "great" relationship with Baalke just 3 weeks ago (and confirmed again today), the decision to move on from both of these men went down pretty quickly over the past couple weeks, would be my guess...with both unaware of each other's pink slip.

There's your culture.

So these guys are now also interviewing HC candidates without a new GM. This is pointing to further disaster down the road.

Tell me what other franchise would give Paraag so much power?
Anyone who hasn't read the SF Gate article by Kevin lynch on Jan 23, 2005 that Phoenix has noted above, post #758, needs to do so. There are a lot of ways to read it, but no matter who you are or what you think, this will open your eyes. Phoenix's comment above:

The guy handling the books at a hospital shouldn't be standing in during surgery or meeting with patients.

You should be looking at it the other way around, Barrows is a highly respected beat reporter that is close to the organization, Rappaport is looking at it from a 10,000 ft view (league wide).

There has been a consistent theme with the last few coaches with Paraag's involvement. Talking to gm's around the league they are impressed with his contract skill. Talking to people who were in the organization, they didn't like how involved he was.

I'll trust the Matts over any national reporter.

Same with Jed get the f**k out of coache's meetings your not a coach and neither of them should be there.

Time to grow up Jed it's now or never...if they make another bonehead decision regarding GM/HC its gonne be an even bigger s**t storm. Hire them and get the f**k out of the way!

The presser clearly showed he has not changed.

In fact, he went from:
"You should hold me accountable"

To:
"I own this football team. You don't dismiss owners, I'm sorry but that's the facts."

Then he wouldn't have the title of EVP of Football Operations.

the local guys have an agenda because they don't like York. the national guys are not biased and fair in their analysis.

I have zero personal responsibility for the mess the 49ers are in.

Why wouldn't you assign any responsibility to the person who runs football operations and is in charge of football strategy?

So keep buying the b******t. They'll set up some new scapegoats for you and like a gullible rube, you can believe it was all that guy's fault too, just like it was all Baalke's fault, all Harbaugh's fault, Singletary's, Nolan's, Erickson's....etc.

The national guys are also quite likely being fed stories from certain individuals, so why burn a source?

Why would anyone like the job York has done with the football team?

This. I'll take the word of people who are around the organization day in and day out and have a firm understanding of what is going on over someone who flies in every few months or so.


Barrows isn't Kawakami, he's generally fair in his reporting so when he says that people have issues with Marathe getting overly involved in football matters, I have absolutely zero reason to not trust him.
