Baalke isn't guaranteed to be hereBaalke doesn't overpay anyone.

#49ers QB Colin Kaepernick: “We still have an opportunity to do some good things and build on for next year.”
the way reid was holding his arm reminded me how dudes react after they tear the bicep off the bone doing deadlifts incorrectly.
after the dolphins kick our *** this weekend, i wonder if baalke will point to what could have been with adam gase if not for jed's meddling.
gase wanted fangio as his DC, but jed required tomsula be his DC. :x
he's done a great job with the dolphins.
meanwhile in miami,
When Baalke and Gase spoke for 7+ hours in Colorado a month ago, there were reports that Gase had an agreement in place with the 49ers to be their next head coach.
That didn’t happen–Baalke flew home, talks broke off, and Tomsula was hired very quickly after that.
There have been multiple, persistent reports, mostly from people close to Gase, that Gase was all but offered the 49ers job during that face-to-face with Baalke, except for a few details.
So how did this all blow up?
According to an NFL source, Gase and Baalke did indeed come very close to an agreement for Gase to replace Harbaugh, down to the details of his prospective coaching staff, and Gase understood that his choices for the coordinator spots were approved.
Tomsula’s name was not involved in the discussions with Gase about the defensive coordinator slot, I was told.
Then, the next morning, after Baalke flew back to the Bay Area, things changed: Gase, the source says, was informed that he could only have the job if he made Tomsula his defensive coordinator.
No Tomsula, no offer.
Gase turned that suggestion down flat, and that’s when the 49ers immediately tabbed Tomsula as the head coach to follow Harbaugh.
So when Tomsula tried hard to hire Gase as his offensive coordinator, the answer was no way–and Gase went to Chicago as the offensive coordinator.
What’s the significance of this? Beyond yet another 49ers’ coaching misstep, which, believe me, has been making the coaching rounds, this anecdote tells us that the 49ers were committed to Tomsula but not entirely sure how committed.
Then they got half-committed to Gase, but couldn’t make him the offer unless it was a Gase-Tomsula package deal.
When Gase opted out of that, the 49ers went with the guy they leaned towards all along: Tomsula.
[h1] Dolphins Adam Gase Is The Coach The Franchise Has Needed For YearS[/h1]
[h1] Dolphins owner: Adam Gase changing the team culture
[/h1]
First-year Dolphins coach Adam Gase has already gifted his owner with the first four-game winning streak he's ever seen while in charge of the team.
But in an interview with the Miami Herald recently, Stephen Ross is crediting the 38-year-old coach with so much more.
"The organization is working well together now," he said. "That's the first time that's happened.
"I'm saying the football side is working together. Everybody's on the same page for the first time. Nobody is mad at anybody else and letting the entire world know about it through (Herald reporter Armando Salguero). Nobody's calling you or texting you to complain."
He added: "Adam has already changed the culture of the Miami Dolphins."
While these are precisely the kinds of comments that will make a business-first coach like Gase immensely uncomfortable and create tremendous pressure for next season, it is telling that Ross is so smitten with his new CEO.
Gase was clearly the gold standard in this year's coaching carousel. With a laundry list of excellent apprenticeships under his belt, there were teams going after the former Broncos and Bears offensive coordinator, and then there were teams angling for their second or third favorite candidate.
During the offseason, a few knowledgeable people around the league told us that Gase's presence alone would be worth two or three more wins in Miami this year. Just one slot removed from the playoffs, he might be trying to double that mark and truly earn Ross' praise.
What a time to be a Niner fan. In addition to our team sucking, the top 4 teams in the league are NE, SEA, OAK, and DAL :x I hope none of them hoist the trophy this Feb.
