ATLANTA -- Dr. John York said a report that his son, CEO Jed York, could lose some of his power is “completely” false after the 49ers’ 41-13 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
York made the assertion to reporters from the San Jose Mercury News and Sacramento Bee outside the 49ers’ locker room after the team’s 13th straight loss. Last week, CBS Sports reported John York and his wife, Denise DeBartolo York, could take a more “hands-on approach,” with their son possibly being moved out of football operations. The CBS report was subsequently refuted by ProFootballTalk.
