Marathe is favored by John York and is BFF's with Jed York, he's been everywhere in the organization, used to be up in the coaches box until Harbaugh kicked him out. He was involved with the draft selection process and his analytics data was used to overrule Walsh and McVay when they wanted to make certain trades during the draft. He was heavily involved in the coaching search that resulted in Nolan and has supposedly developed a specific profile of what a top tier head coach looks like. Now he has more pull in the organization than ever before.
