after the 9ers lost to the r ams, apparently jed york was in the locker room and would not comment on whether sideline -- singletary would be on the s idelines. and if you watched yesterday's game, you know the 9ers were officially eliminated for the playoffs. it was a very frustrating season because many ficked -- picked san francisco to win nfc west. >> we're kind of surprised. if you don't deliver wins and loses, you are out. the billboard campaign was neat and fun but once the losses started piling up, the ent tartan -- entertaining press conferences stopped in a hurry. after the firing singletary did, one of the greatest experiences was having the opportunity to coach the 49ers. what made it so special were the players. now, many said that they knew singletary's firing was coming. he had only won 18 times in 40 games. the hall of hall of fame linebacker had never within a -- never been a coach before. in any case, he still has two years and $5 million left on his contract. but new york has said that money is no object this time around. they will work on hiring a general manager.

. >> when president jed york said a surge begins immediately he wasn't fooling around you have to be a general manager first. have you ever heard of told me softly? a few people have he's a guy that visited santa clara headquarters today to interview for the general manager's position. he said yesterday it will hire a general manager first it will be the general manager that will then hire a new head football coach to replace mike singletary. if the degree looks at this he was with the san louis rams and most recently with the carolina panthers as an executive which is a wide base position there. he does so personnel, he's experienced and just on the basis that he is interviewed today it takes care of the route your roll which says that she must interview minority candidate before you go for to make a decision. tony is in their all this week were going to hear a lot of names that we never heard of in these are guys that only interview because they're not connected with any teams. he may wait till after the season where you get the heavy hitters the big boys on the names you have for

but jed york said today the first step is hiring a general manager who will have a big day in who the next coach of the 49ers will be. of course, it's the season that just started out terribly and got worse. yesterday culminating in a p layoff elimination game after losing to the rams, they had no shot left. with this team this year, it's been one thing after another. >> first we brought our quarterback coach in to take over the job of offense coordinator. then we switched quarterbacks. we have an been going back and for for that for quite some time now. there's a lot of difficulties. as a team, you have too learn how to deal with it. >> i apologize to jay rice, all of the older guys that used to play here and to come out with a report like this, i feel like we're disrespecting it because they are the one that started one of the bib -- one of the biggest franchises in the l eague. >>> stanford packing it up h eaded toward the buses that will take them to the orange bowl and a date on january 3rd with virginia tech. their weather would the 49ers would love to get -- their quarterback w

but it's at that point. 49er president jed york said after the game he will conduct a national searchal manager, paving the way for a major upheaval in the 49ers' organization, and all but assuring that mike singletary's tenure as head coach is over. >>> fans in st. louis for the nfc west showdown. troy smith drops the snap, fortunately able to fall on it, so only a safety instead of a rams touchdown. second quarter, st. louis up 9- 0. edgar ted ginn, when the niners brought him in to improve their return gain, this is what they had in mind. 76 yards for the touchdown, got the niners on the board. they led st. louis 14-12 at half time. we're thinking three-way tie for first place in the west! but the momentum didn't carry over in the second half. troy smith overthrows michael crabtree and mike singletary's future son-in-law is waiting there for the pick. it would lead to a rams field goal and they led 15-14. smith completed just 7 of 19 passes and appeared mike singletary was going to take him out. smith and the coach got into a heated exchange and troy smith stayed in the game. fourt

ees he is currently the vice president of player personnel, but apparently team president jed york thinks he's the man for the job. he's going to concert with bill parcells, a consultant for the miami dolphins. parcells first hired bulky with the new york jets. meantime, it is the time of year for football teams to give out their own internal awards and for 49ers fans it's the inspirational and craig as play. i don't think there's any doubt spikes would qualify for that. at more than 100 tackles with three interceptions he's the winner. quite an all-around team player. i don't think anyone would argue was that. alex smith basketball the starting quarterback against arizona. he talked about all the various disappointments that this season has brought. >> hard because we weren't winning. we had a lot of expectations. that was the biggest thing, most difficult. lot of expectations coming into this year. and not to achieve them, upset for everybody. >> not to forget the raiders, ed block award. their force courageous play, and that goes to robert gallery on the offensive line. that's the spor
