Same s**t apparently picked Mike Nolan over Mike Holmgren as well.

This is the type of nonsense that good developed organizations deal with effectively and have down pat. You have to have a bad guy in accounting watching the money but you don't promote him to President of the company making big picture decisions! Just doesn't usually work.

You want a coach to have to go argue his case for signing a guy but it's his team...not the accountants. If the team does poorly the accountant gets paid and keeps his job. The HC is fired. So you give the HC leverage to work within parameters and all is overseen by a GM or exec who can arbitrate between them.

This is where I've read the breakdown sank Harbaugh with the team. Baalke could no longer mediate between Paraag and Harbaugh, meaning Paraag had gained enough power to over rule the GM and the HC. Dumb organizational scheme...but that's not surprising given Paraag is a John York protege.

This is a great read: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-thegameface031910

This article, from Michael Silver in 2010, details the dysfunction of our organization surrounding the dismissal of McCloughan. You literally could have cut and pasted out McCloughan and inserted Harbaugh and it would have been the same story from this year. Marathe once more implicated in pushing guys out that didn't fit with his vision.

Here is the article linking Holmgren to SF's head coaching job in 2005: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3383-2005Jan12.html

Apparently there was interest on his part, Seattle wanted him to stay but would have let him out of his contract. SF chose Nolan instead.

So they could have had Mike Holmgren involved with picking and developing a QB instead of Nolan. But the same people that thought Tomsula would be a great head coach thought it was too much of a risk to hire one that had won a SB elsewhere.

Well that seals it. Gentlemen, we've found the sith lord that we've been looking for.

I said it early....could you imagine a Holmgren-Rodger HC-QB pairing? My WCO heart is retroactively broken.

Somehow I doubt that Holmgren would have been turned off by Rodgers' "cockiness" the way Nolan was.

Getting high on their own supply. Marathe convinced both Yorks that he has the secret sauce to beat out all those neanderthal meathead football types who are on the verge of extinction.

And factor in Holmgren not wearing suits on the sideline...,just wouldn't of worked

I don't get how anyone can still doubt that if Marathe isn't directly responsible for the dysfunction in the front office, that he has a major starring role in it.

This time, a source close to McCloughan said, the general manager "was blindsided" on Wednesday when York called him into a meeting with other high-ranking team officials and told him his services were no longer wanted. There's a suspicion among those in the McCloughan camp – and other sources familiar with the team's front-office politics – that Paraag Marathe, the Niners' vice president of football operations, pushed for the move as an attempt to gain more power. Marathe, a Cal grad who earned his MBA from Stanford, is known for his "Moneyball" style philosophy of player evaluation, favoring empirical analysis over the more intuitive and subjective elements of scouting. He's also close with Jed York and is regarded as the team president's No. 1 confidante in the organization.

Given the high regard for McCloughan around the NFL – "He's highly respected as a [talent evaluator], and known as a good, solid guy," one longtime front-office executive for an AFC team said Friday – and the skepticism surrounding Marathe's perceived lack of football knowledge, this is not regarded as a positive development for the organization.

Yorks are so sleazy. I hate them.
