It’s time to hold Jed York accountable

The 49ers are even worse than I thought, and I thought they’d go 6-10. Their offense makes the top high schools look professional by comparison, the defense isn’t any better, and it doesn’t look like the players expend more energy for Jim “Dennis Erickson 2.0” Tomsula than they would for any other coach. Colin Kaepernick supposedly reworked his mechanics and everything else about the way he passes, but he threw two pick-sixes off his back foot in the first six minutes of this game.
What’s amazing is the 49ers didn’t like what they saw in Kaepernick a year ago, and their solution was to promote their quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator, hire a sports talk host from South Carolina as the new quarterbacks coach, and put a defensive line coach in charge of the entire operation. No matter what you thought of the previous regime, at least the pieces that were in place made some sense.
Now it’s just about money. Tomsula came cheap. They promoted two yes-men to the coordinator positions (Mangenius — LOLOL). They had enough cap room to sign Evan Mathis, but NO. They decided to trade for a Patriots reject in Jordan Devey instead.
They came into today’s game, against a division opponent they’ve played fairly well against for several years, thinking they could make a statement. They made a statement, alright.
“We aren’t better than we were a year ago. In fact, we are much, much worse.”
But ripping Kaepernick, the offensive line, the secondary, the pass rush, Tomsula or the coordinators seems about as logical as yelling at first graders in a school bus when it shows up late. Who’s driving the bus?
It’s Jed York, of course.
