Press conference for today has been canceled
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]
Mike Nolan and John York are currently meeting and the scheduled 4 p.m. press conference has been postponed.[/FONT]
OK, so what does it mean?
Well, it obviously means the Yorks are not completely convinced that Mike Nolan should be the head coach next season.
This follows the pattern.
--The 2002 season ended when the 49ers lost to the Buccaneers in the playoffs on Jan. 12, 2003. York called Steve Mariucci, who was home watching "Joe Millionaire" on TV on a Monday night. Finally, on Wednesday, Jan. 15, York fired Mariucci during a meeting that was so long that everybody knew Mariucci had been fired before he left York's office. In fact, Mariucci's wife heard the news on the radio and immediately drove to the 49ers' offices. She was waiting for her husband in his office.
--The 2004 season ended with a road loss to the Patriots on Jan. 2, 2005. York held extensive meetings with Terry Donahue and Dennis Erickson. Finally, on Jan. 6, York decided to fire both men.
So, again, this is the question: What does all this mean?
UPDATE: The meeting includes Jed York, too.
UPDATE (5:43 p.m.): The 49ers assistant coaches are leaving for the night. Nobody has been told anything about what's going on. When asked if he's heard from the Falcons or Ravens, Mike Singletary said he hasn't heard anything. Then, he good-naturedly recommended we go home and spend New Year's Eve with our families.
