The San Francisco 49ers are coming off a horrendous and forgettable 2015 season in which the team finished 5-11, parted ways with head coach Jim Tomsula and ranked at or near the bottom of nearly every significant offensive and defensive category.
But all that is in the past right now, and 49ers general manager Trent Baalke has been assigned the arduous task of turning things around in Santa Clara while the 2016 year is still in its infancy.
Baalke is currently signed through 2018, per Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area. But while the contractual obligations point to trust between the 49ers front office and Baalke, this year should be the season in which Baalke’s future with the franchise is determined.
