After a disastrous 5-11 campaign that resulted in the firing of first-year coach Jim Tomsula on Sunday night, 49ers CEO Jed York said Monday he will not be making a change at general manager.

St. Louis Rams tight end Lance Kendricks (88) is tackled by San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid (35) during the second half of an NFL football game in Santa Clara, Calif., Sunday, Jan. 3, 2016. “I hear the criticism”, he said.
That was one of the take-home messages from Monday’s press conference admission that Jim Tomsula was not the right replacement after the exodus of Jim Harbaugh.
York acknowledged that Baalke and the next coach will work together to decide who controls the 53-man roster.
“I believe in Trent’s ability….”
After the team parted ways with Jim Harbaugh last off season, the 49ers made the decision to promote Tomsula to head coach.
Watching Harbaugh have a terrific first season at University of MI, or reading his thinly veiled tweets after Tomsula was sacked, couldn’t have felt good for York. They decided a new direction was in order a full six days before and Kelly was given his walking papers with one game left in the regular season.
“The past year has been way more than what I expected”, Hayne said, while laughing as his running back team-mates Kendall Gaskins and Mike Davis cracked jokes at his expense. “It’s harder when you have somebody that tweets something that’s a distraction to the club, and I can’t do that”.

“It’s rare in this league that you get a coach that truly, genuinely cares about his players”, safety Eric Reid said after the 49ers’ win yesterday. They understand it’s a bottom-line business and you’re paid to win games, and losing 18 of 21 is not acceptable.
“Until we know what’s going on, there’s no reason to discuss it”, Fisher said.
We will continue to update throughout the day on who is safe and who is gone. “We need to make sure that all of our effort is focused on the next head coach of the team”. Tomsula was a odd hire from a dysfunctional team.
“This season was frustrating on a number of levels”.
