Great hire!! The team will go to war with this coach! All we need is a good OC and we're back in business. Goo Niners!!
A.Gase probably rejected the Niners and decided to stay with Manning because Gase himself knew that he's nothing without Manning and wasn't ready to move on without him.

Have they said how much Tomsula was signed for? Why does everybody keep saying he was a cheap hire? We had the highest paid coaching staff in the league while Jim was here. I don't think this is where they are looking to save money.

Gase did not turn down the 49ers. They gave him a shot to win them over and sway them away from Tomsula. Gase was unable to do so. They stuck with their guy which was Tomsula.

We don't know that yet. I agree that he's more experienced as a coach and a better coach overall but the potential is always there for him to fall flat on his face. The 49ers went out and hired a guy that nobody else even wanted to talk to. The reports about him politicking for the job during the season are also kind of worrisome.
Like I said, I'll reserve further judgment until I see what the coaching staff ends up looking like.
Couldn't agree more. One thing I noticed that really irked me and tipped me that Tomsula was already told he would be the 2016 head coach is that the last 2 games of the season (which I was at) Tomsula was always standing out on the field (like the head coach). He would literally run out in front of Harbaugh to bark out things on both offensive and defensive drives. It seemed extremely disrespectful to Harbaugh and like a pretty sleazy political move to burn in everyone's brains that he looks like a head coach.
How do we gain anything by hiring a guy in-house with no NFL coordinator experience/expertise and NO connections to good OC's and DC's. We could have easily hired Shannahan or Gase, justified keeping Fangio and not rocked the boat at all while improving the offense. Now we lost a top 3 DC, what would have been a top 5 OC (serving as HC), and the entire staff.
I don't want this team to fail just to spite York, but if this drags us back into losing season mediocrity I would prefer the 49ers to fall right on it's face and make the necessary changes swiftly (actual outside and well consulted GM search, get a franchise qb, and hold out for excellent coaching candidate).
Tomsula has done that his entire career with the 49ers. It's the type of coach he is. Have you not watched many games before or not paid attention to what he was doing before? No disrespect, but that's the only treason I can think of somebody thinking he wasn't like that his whole career with us.
(and I assume you meant 2015?)
I'm a season ticket holder and watch that sideline alot. He used to occasionally come out to call things out to the defensive line. By the end it got to the point that he would just post up, literally in front of Harbaugh, and do it for both offense and defense. It was to the point that if you were to ask anyone who had no knowledge of the team who the head coach was they would say Tomsula (and that's saying alot because it's not like Harbaugh is a passive guy). It just reeked of a political move and rubbed me the wrong way.
somebody had to .harbz n crew had all ready checked out

Pure speculation and overreaction. Besides, who cares what he gets paid? It has no bearing on how he will perform as a HC.

Tomsula isnt Singletary
A position coach his entire career with no NFL head coaching experience.
Singletary had no HC or coordinator experience ANYWHERE.
You know who else had no coordinator experience and had never been more than a position coach before becoming a HC? John Harbaugh. Super Bowl winning coach and perennial winner and in the playoffs.
Ummmm John Harbaugh was a Special Teams COORDINATOR for 99% of his career.
I wonder how their fans reacted to the hire

No, I am guessing 4 years 14 million.

Why would he not be a cheap hire? How are your glasses so rose colored? Do you think someone in a competitive market with no offers for anything more than a DL coach will get paid like a good head coach? He's probably making $100k right now, it would be literally insane to pay him more than $3M per with no reason to provide a better offer. Hell even same pay, would you rather be a DL coach or head coach?

That, or Gase didn't interview well.

And now that highest paid coaching staff is all gone.

Probably much better then if they had hired someone off of Billick staff.

Or Harbaugh was already checked out and JT was trying to keep the players focused on the game at hand. It can be spun that way, too.

I'm confused! How is a D line coach suppose to groom our young and very raw QB? Kurt Warner ' s program only lasts 11 weeks. This is a disaster. Here comes the revolving door at OC.
