Yeah, what's up with Ralph Barbeeeri's hatred of Paraag?

Is it a height thing? But everyone's taller than Ralph.

Is it an intellect deal? Again, everyone seems smarter than Ralph.

Paraag run over Ralph's dog? Or insult his mom?

What?

Ralph is just a hack with a mic that has no effing idea what he's talking about.

...Who's voice is so f**king annoying, it sounds like the Godfather is talking sports!

thats an insult to Marlon Brando.

I listen to KNBR a lot, and don;t think Ralph as any beef with Paraag. The cirticism is really towrds the Yorks for not ever hiring experienced GMs, and became a running joke on KNBR when it was revealed Paraag was behind some of those idiot instant replay challenges when Nolan was HC.

It was pretty f*cking lame having Paraag in the booth with that kind of control during games, I have to say.

Okay, maybe I misread something, but to me it looks like that the promotion part is that Paraag Marathe went from being the "vice president of football operations" to being the "executive vice president of football and business operations".

If I understand the blog post from Matt Maiocco correctly, it means that Marathe now has some say on the business side of the operation as well in addition to his duties as salary cap specialist and in the replay booth.

Well, if you ask me, it looks as nothing changed on the football side, because it looks as if he does not have any new football responsibilities and still reports to GM Scott McCloughan.

But he seems to have some new business responsibilities now, which I think is fine, I mean he is a business grad, after all and I think he did a fine job in our recent contract negotiations.

So I don´t really get what the fuss is all about, he got a promotion (good for him), is more involved in the business side of the Niners, which I think is fine and did not get any extra football responsibilities, which could have been a concern.

If he is now so busy with all that business stuff that we get additional guys in the coaches´ booth for replay challenges, well, extra bonus!

I agree, especially what you said in bold. I have nothing against this promotion, we're not in any kind of salary cap hell, so that's a good sign. But I gotta wonder since this guy has been working here a while, is he even a fan of the team or at least of the sport or is this just a job to him?

It looks like a cost reduction and power shift move. Jed York takes over some of the big picture items from Andy Dolich, and Marathe and the eventual Chief Marketing Officer will handle more of the micro things within the front office. If you remember, Dolich was the Chief Operations Officer before York took on the team president role.

The internal promotion of Marathe while maintaining some current responsibilities seems nothing but a cost-measure move.

Paraag will be the new GM. Book it.

Ok, but where to? I don't think I could escape this.

Lulz. I'm so funny.

I do not think I would be happy with this move. Let me think about it. Nope, I wouldn't.

This:

"The 49ers will have trouble recruiting new coaching and front office staff because of the acrimony created by team president Jed York and executive vice president Paraag Marathe, neither of whom has NFL experience and both of whom have tried to imitate Billy Beane’s “Money Ball” method to select new players for the Niners, with no success.

York is considering Marathe to be the team’s next general manager, which has alienated professional team managers and coaches from considering the team, according to sources. Recruiting new coaches will also impact the team’s ability to field a winning team as few players will want to join the unstable 49ers franchise."

I'd say 70/30 that Paraag becomes the GM.

I don't get why everyone hates him so much. Is it just because he was in the booth? We have a bunch of salary cap space, so I'm not complaining.

We have a bunch of cap space in an uncapped year? Brilliant!

I agree that Paraag is a numbers guy.

His numbers overruled trades that Walsh wanted to make.

His numbers led to mediocre drafts

His numbers led to the hiring of Mike Nolan.

Yup. Just a numbers guy.

Btw: Promoting Paraag saved the Yorks $$$. Obviously a more experienced and qualified candidate for the position would have demanded more from the Yorks. Don't think for one second that the Yorks saving a buck or two didn't play a role in this promotion.

Just wondering how you got ahold of all this information? did you pull it from your ass?
