York: Baalke to stay on as 49ers general manager

Not everyone is out in San Francisco.

49ers CEO Jed York announced Monday that Trent Baalke will remain in place as the team's general manager.

After the firing of coach Jim Tomsula late Sunday night, York confirmed that Baalke also will lead the organization's search for a new head coach.

Baalke has been with the team since 2005, rising through the ranks as a scout and player personnel executive before assuming the general manager's post in 2011.

"I believe in Trent's ability," said York, adding that he's already seen Baalke put together a championship-caliber roster in the past.
