Jed York has been named team president. He was on the field before the game. He said it's a formalization of his role with the club.
When asked about the job Mike Singletary has done as head coach,
There is some speculation here that Singletary could be named head coach immediately after today's game. York declined to say when it might happen.
"We want to make sure we get through the day, get through the game, and go from there," York said.
"We are excited about the future of the 49ers in Jed's hands," John York said in a statement.
McCloughan, chief operating officer Andy Dolich and chief financial officer Larry MacNeil will report directly to Jed York.
York previously held the position of vice president of strategic planning. He was responsible for the integration of strategies and projects related to the long-term operational and financial development of the organization.
Wow. I'm the first to post on this entry... why the radio silence?
Congrats Jed. Did Mom and Dad put this in an envelope for you under the Christmas tree?
Now THIS is a Christmas gift. Hopefully Jed taps Uncle Eddy a lot in the future.
I'm hopeful, but deeply skeptical, about Jed York.
I guess one way to look at it is he can't be any worse than his dad and he does seem to want a winning team.
Crossing my fingers here.
Jed, Great Job! Let's turn the 49ers around and become a proud team again. Congratulation 49ers!
I'm excited about this. I definitely get the feeling that Jed cares deeply about the team and wants to get us back where we belong, at the top.
Would another York make a difference? I like his drive... but time will tell how good he is...
I know that he's better than John York at this job... but then again... who wouldn't?? ;-)
