Eddie DeBartolo: Jed York knows what he has to do

SANTA CLARA – Former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo expressed confidence team CEO Jed York, his nephew, will make the adjustments needed to get the organization back on track.

“Jed will be fine,” DeBartolo said during an appearance on CSN Bay Area’s “49ers Insider Podcast.”

“I don’t talk to him as much as I used to, but he is a very, very, very smart young man, and I think he knows what he has to do, and he knows the moves that have to be made.”

The 49ers (1-8) take an eight-game losing streak into Sunday's game against the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium.
