The Gold Standard

[GoldenJet]

The San Francisco 49ers are cranking up a full-blown reboot of the organization, announcing that Chip Kelly has been fired. Niners president Jed York announced the move on Sunday evening in a lengthy statement.

Quote:

I have informed Chip of my decision to pursue new leadership for our football team," said York. "These types of conversations are never easy, especially when they involve people you respect personally and professionally. "Chip has my gratitude for the job he did this year, navigating the team through some adverse circumstances. I look forward to watching his career continue to unfold, and wish him and Jill great success in life. "Despite my feelings for Chip, I felt the decision to change our football leadership was absolutely necessary. The performance of this team has not lived up to my expectations or those of our fans, and that is truly disappointing. We all expected to see this team progress and develop as the season went on, but unfortunately, that did not happen. That is why now is the time to find a new direction for this team."

The problem is the roster isn't in good shape. When Harbaugh was there, the 49ers were a loaded franchise, featuring enough talent to trade away Alex Smith and start Colin Kaepernick. Early retirements, free agency and general roster attrition, along with a failure to make good draft picks, has left the 49ers' cupboard bare.

It's probably unfair to Kelly to pin it on him, but he took a job with a bad team and an impatient fan base playing in a brand new stadium that was being shepherded by a GM on the hot seat. Hiring a GM and forcing him to work with Kelly is a dangerous situation, and it would have limited the quality of the interested candidates.

The San Francisco 49ers won their first three of five Super Bowls under legendary Head Coach Bill Walsh. His replacement, George Seifert, won his first Super Bowl the very next year and would another in 1994.

The 49ers have desperately missed this era of dominance, coming as close as another Super Bowl berth under Jim Harbaugh. However, Coach Harbaugh has come and gone and the team has fallen back to mediocrity.

In from stage left; Head Coach Charles Hastings from Wisconsin University.

In his very first head coaching gig, the former Badgers offensive coordinator takes his talents to the big show - spurning other coaching gigs at Texas, Illinois, and UNC.

Hastings has used a pro-style offense that pushed Wisconsin to having one of the most efficient and productive pass and run games in the country. The 49ers, after being a model of the failed offensive scheme of Chip Kelly, hope Hastings may ben able to turn this sinking ship around.
