To say Jim Tomsula’s head coaching career in the NFL didn’t go as planned, for him or the 49ers, would be the understatement of the decade. If you go back to Tomsula’s initial press conference, which is the article’s main picture, it didn’t take long to realize, “you know what, maybe this isn’t the right person for the job.”
We can point fingers at who was at fault, but Tomsula was in over his head. San Francisco made a mistake. It happens. We see organizations swing and miss on head coaching candidates every year.
Tomsula stayed in the NFL after being let go by the Niners, with his most recent jobs as the Washington Commanders defensive line coach before joining the Dallas Cowboys staff in 2020.
