And stay there. Guys like him, Saban, Spurrier just need to stay in college. Harbaugh, Carroll, and Jimmy have been the only successful college coaches I can think of.

It took a failed Carroll stint in NE first.

There haven't been many college coaches with no previous NFL experience that have made a good transition to the NFL. Most successful NFL coaches work their way up the ranks as position coaches and coordinators with a few also gaining some head coaching experience in the college ranks. Guys who only have college experience tend to falter after making the giant leap to head coach of an NFL franchise. Jimmy Johnson was definitely an outlier.

I also read their GM Blake might get canned also. It will be a belated Christmas for my Niners fans.

Wow an actual smart decision by the Niners.

Ton of cap and high draft picks, they would have completely wasted all of it with Kelly and that GM.

Knowing York though, he'll probably hire someone even worse.

College coaching is as much about recruitment, having boosters make secret cash payments, altering academic records, doping and smoozing within a corrupt system as actual coaching. NFL must be a bug culture shock - completely different skill set required.

Yup, G, York is the systemic reason why the Niners are trash, now. Anyone they hire will be a band aid.

Niners' fans loathe York, morseso than us and Jerruh. I mean, they have a fetid hatred for the guy lol

This !
Now let him develop Green Bay / Pittsburgh / washed up / the gnats / and we have a super market sweep.

He'd make a great Director of Coaching for the Giants. Could join them straight away for their playoff run.:)

He did not make it past the completion of his second year in San Francisco.

Like I said months ago.
