quote:

Jim Tomsula, the San Francisco 49ers new coach, went on Comcast in the Bay Area and … well, this happened. He sounds like pretty much what you’d expect a line coach to sound like. For the :20 he doesn’t really say a word, he just sort of grunts and makes noises as if he were a farm animal and shakes his head a lot. A few of the questions are bizarre, especially the one at the :55 mark, to which Tomsula is so puzzled he just goes silent for a few seconds. His expression screams: “What language is this guy speaking?” After that, Tomsula doesn’t give one straight answer. It’s as if GM Trent Baalke programmed him to be a robot and to come in and say nothing, since he won’t be making decisions, anyway. I don’t see how this doesn’t end in disaster for Tomsula, Baalke and the 49ers. Give it three years.

As a Vandy fan, I was less than impressed with our head coach's ability to handle the media. This guy makes Derek Mason look like the interview king.

To be fair, he's being interviewed by someone doing his best, early Jim Rome impression.

Wow. If he can't answer a question how will he be able to make quick decisions in games?

I have allergies which in certain times of the year prevents me from breathing through my nose. Does that make me a mouthbreather?

Giving good interviews is the most important part of coaching. I mean Rex Ryan was so cool when they introduced him as the Buffalo coach, I would much rather have him than a guy like Bill Belichick who sucks at interviews. I mean, I don't know how Gregg Popovich even keeps a job since he never says more than a word or two. It blows my mind.

It takes a village?? WTF is that all about? Oh kissing up to Jed York is tantamount to Kim Jong-un. As you wish, Dear Leader. This has shite creek flooding written all over this hire.

If you look like Ron Jeremy, you really don't needs to say much to get by.

HOooray....

This will be a magical incoherent journey back to irrelevance.

It's sad when the fan-base was more excited for the Dennis Erickson hire in 2003.

If we have to move on from Harbaugh, fine, whatever, I just cannot believe he is the guy we have been sitting on for an entire year. It just blows my mind.

With the success they've had the last 3 years Turning around the 49ers means they are going in the wrong direction
