Where Are They Now? The Coaches, Part 1
Now that we've finished the all-time Niner team I figured the next step would be to move on to the coaches. The Niners have actually been fairly blessed in the head coaching department. Since the formation of the team in 1945 there have only been 16 head coaches. The shortest tenure of any head...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2004
If you're here to read about 2004, I assume that you're mostly here for the lulz. Usually I try to maintain a more professional voice in my preambles, but it's hard to remember the quagmire that was the 49ers' 2004 season in any way that inspires anything in between tearful laughter or venomous...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2003
Come all ye masochists, gather round. That sick pleasure that you take when Dennis Erickson flits across your disheveled mind will be well served here. That fascination with destructive infighting, the magnetic attraction that you feel toward heart-wrenching loss - all of your greatest fantasies...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2002
In this week's installment of the Year-by-Year, we're taking on 2002. 2001 had been a breakthrough year for the rebuilding 49ers, and 2002 was set up to be a banner year for a franchise rediscovering its identity. However, any success the team seemed to come by was marred in controversy. Whether...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2001
I want to reintroduce everybody to the Year-by-Year feature on the website. This is my second comeback in the last month or so, and this one should be for good. I have been going through every 49ers season since the team's inception in 1946 and writing full summaries of some of the most important...
Trojans Get Rejected By Their 4th Choice, Now Pining For Mariucci & Still Eying Lane & Sark
Well things are getting worse for the Trojans. Looks like (and many of you have linked this up in comment threads already) they just got rejected by their fourth choice: Jack Del Rio will remain coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, a decision made after Del Rio and team owner Wayne Weaver met...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2000
After a relatively long hiatus, the Year-by-Feature is back with a vengeance. It has been a while since I've been able to give you one of these and it might be a few more weeks before I can give you another, but I wanted to strike while I had a little free time from the holiday season and my own...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1999
1999 wasn't the beginning of the end for the 49ers' storied dynasty. It was an affirmation of the end. With the loss of Steve Young and the continued absence of Garrison Hearst, the San Francisco 49ers discovered that their talent had diminished to the point where success was unsustainable. But as...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1997
Welcome to the 1997 edition of the 49ers Year-by-Year. Many probably remember this as the season that Warren Sapp took down Steve Young and Jerry Rice in one game, but the rest of the season was - for the most part - a true triumph for the aging, evolving 49ers franchise. Do you know know what...
Wednesday Notes: Mariucci Recalls Memories of Sandoval
Around 500 people attended Ricky Sandoval's funeral mass yesterday in Troy. Former Lions coach Steve Mariucci delivered the eulogy and shared a story about the last time he spoke to Sandoval. Mariucci's voice wavered as he relayed his last conversation with Sandoval. It was on the phone, and...
