Last week, Jason La Canfora reported that the San Francisco 49ers were looking to make some significant changes, and potentially install someone to run football operations. A president or executive VP title would be in charge, with the GM and coach reporting to him. We’ve seen back and forth on that between various reports, and we’ll likely find out in January who was actually right.
If the 49ers were to make such a move, might I suggest Steve Young? The former 49ers quarterback was on KNBR Wednesday evening, and he provided an intriguing opinion on what the 49ers lack, and really what a lot of the NFL lacks.
