The San Francisco 49ers aren’t going anywhere in 2016, and general manager Trent Baalke is largely responsible for what’s happened in Santa Clara over the last two dreadful seasons.
We can complain all we want about “Baalke should have done this” or “Baalke should have done that,” and maybe that would make us feel better. But the reality of this situation points towards the future. Not in the past.
Baalke is on the hot seat. And for good reasons. Last January, CEO Jed York hinted at such after the Niners parted ways with former head coach Jim Tomsula and signed Chip Kelly to helm the on-field efforts.
