York got suckered into Baalke's sales pitch about the direction of the 49ers (ousting Harbaugh and going a different direction). York got completely suckered. Now they have a stadium to pay for with tons of pissed off fans. The backlash is going to be very bad.
Bottom line...Baalke see's the 49ers as a job. He is not a legacy from the organization. He is a Bill Parcells bi-product. Based on the events in the last 6 months, he should be fired...on the spot.
FYI- York was in CUBA when they aquired Jerome Simpson. He had no idea of the signing. That should give you an idea of who is driving the bus (Baalke). Yorks speech about winning with class was BS. Jerome Simpson has like 5 arrests in the last few years. He has no clue about what is going on. All he cares about is $$$.
