The San Francisco 49ers may or may not fire Trent Baalke when the season comes to an end. We have been hearing speculation, but we will have to wait until probably January 2 for some kind of action.
In the meantime, I came across something interesting via our friends at @49ersHub. Albert Breer posted his most recent MMQB column on Thursday, and in it, he put together his annual general manager short list for 2017. He included some notable names and some lesser known names. It included guys like Nick Caserio (Patriots), Eric DeCosta (Ravens), Scott Fitterer (Seahawks), Brian Gaine (Texans), Brian Gutekunst (Packers), Trent Kirchner (Seahawks), Will McClay (Cowboys), Terry McDonough (Cardinals), George Paton (Vikings), Scott Pioli (Falcons), Duke Tobin (Bengals), and Eliot Wolf (Packers).
