SANTA CLARA–A press conference on Monday morning called by San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York addressed questions as to why he fired general manager Trent Baalke and head coach Chip Kelly. York also was asking the media during last season’s ending “State of the Regret” speech about accountability and he asked the media to give him a chance to prove he was accountable but this time he was grilled with questions including why doesn’t he step down after the team finished with a dismal 2-14 record. York himself was asked why not hire someone that knows how to run a football team.

It appears that he’s backing up from any accountability and the media tried to press him on bringing in a new director of operations that would be a good idea and he flat out said that you can’t fire the owner which he is. It seems like the system in place is not a good one. It won’t change because Jed York doesn’t want to lose what control he has. The problem is he’s not a football guy, he doesn’t want to make football decisions but yet he is by being involved in the hiring of the head coach and the general manager.
