Geez, you are good Oaktown. I was going to snarkily respond with "Jerry Jones" as a counter to your argument. He couldn't get along with Jimmy J. and fired him in a tizzy. Then I googled him:
...
When he graduated from college in 1965, he was hired as an executive vice president at Modern Security Life of Springfield, Missouri, his father's insurance company....
Yep, Jerry has the same problem as Jed. He got lucky with Switzer or rather Switzer got lucky being hired to coach a stacked team but since then Jerry has been searching for a good head coach.
I agree with you though, the 49ers are in for a long, sad trip with the Yorks in charge. I think they got lucky with Harbaugh. They aren't going to be so lucky when they hire Shaw.

The thing is this is like father like son. Dad had a falling out with Mooch so fired him even though he was successful and had no plan for replacing him and ended up with Erickson. (seriously, how do you not get along with Mooch?) Then Son repeats with Harbaugh.
Its the difference between earning a fortune and marrying in or being born into one. People who earn a fortune usually do it by getting along with the right people and realizing that sometimes you let talent do what it does. People who are given a fortune think their money entitles them to butt kissing from everyone.
Seriously, all you need to do is write the check and stay out of the way.
