10. When the season started to sputter, there was nowhere else to go. Harbaugh couldn’t bond with Baalke, because that relationship is toast. York couldn’t mediate the two sides, because his relationship with Harbaugh is even worse.

I thoughtfully included warnings. I would think he would heed those warnings ...... both author name and reminder warning in the body of the post. :229031_shrug: That should be sufficient.

Scary how much Baalke emulates Ruskell

Thank god Paul Allen and co recognized the error in their ways though. Jed York is just leading the Niners into the wood chipper.

I think the Holmgren/Ruskett story was much different than the Harbaugh/Baalke story. Much different. And unlike Ruskett, Baalke may survive for more than a year past the departure of their current head coach. I also see major differences in the current make up of the two contrasting cultures. It seems reasonable to expect Santa Clara to follow a different path. It could be that their front office is leaning toward adapting more and more of the traits of an asset management and trading company.

We'll see. Sun shines on a dogs A$$.

He also said Aldon would never play for SF again. He also said York would never be able to draw Harbaugh. He also said they'd struggle badly in 2011 because of the lockout. He also said the stadium financing was falling apart and the stadium would never get built with Yorks as owners.

Kinda like how Baalke makes the draft all about him.

Oh...did I miss the part where we randomly start making sh*t up? My bad.

Getting Baalke to say ANYTHING is excruciating, let alone assigning blame or taking credit.

Yes, it cant possibly be once a York always a York, could it be Marvin49?

For the record, I know I personally, and presumably others, have been more correct at prognosticating your teams folderol than you have. So, you're like a virgin giving porn tips here.

A.J. Jenkins ring a bell there Marv? Remember how Baalke put his name in an envelope and drafted him in the first round? By drafting a third round talent in the first round after putting his name in an envelope and MAKING IT KNOWN that he did so, sure screams "I WANT ATTENTION!" to me.

Really? That's "Taking credit" for all the drafts? oi.

Dude doesn't ever say anything. He has a weekly radio show and the running joke is how little he says. Never takes credit or assigns blame. Its really a worthless show that I doubt will be renewed because he never says anything.

Jeez. Think what you wanna think. I don't care anymore.

BTW, that quote didn't come from him...if I recall it was something he said to Jim Harbaugh or Jed York, but was never reported by Baalke.

:lol: :lol: :lol: at your consistency with just making stuff up.

Jenkins sucks and he was obviously a bust, but the 9ers took him at 1-30.

Kiper had him projected at 2-6.

After the draft the Rams said the 9ers scooped them because he was their target at 2-1.

Leading up to draft he was rated as a 2nd rounder by practically everyone and he ended up at the bottom of the first.

A bust for sure, but you're still just making stuff up.

That wasn't taking credit, that was making the draft all about him. He'll NEVER take credit for A.J. Jenkins because he was the only first round WR that NEVER caught a pass for the team that drafted him.

Harbaugh saying that the GM put their #1 pick's name in an envelope the night before on the chance he was still there is Baalke making the draft all about him? :lol: Okay, dude.

This is all just for fun, right? As in, you don't actually believe what you're posting, I have to assume.

Saying it? No. Actually DOING it? Yes. If Baalke did put the guy's name in an envelope and then drafted him, he made the draft about HIM. It was a big thing for all of you niner fans, so I assume it actually happened.
