this guys a real dipshit and i hoped he would be gone, but not right before the draft, even if singltary stepped up his drafting skills, it will still effect the franchise. people in this industry and in many others go thru divorces all the time, i really dont see that being the “PERSONAL” reason…

I agree Jordan I’m not sold on Davis at all, I think we need to get smith a good o line before we can really pass judgement on him

[...] it will be an extended leave of absence for personal reasons. What could those be? 49ersnews.com dug up some dirt on a possible divorce proceeding, but that wouldn’t cause him to leave. If every football [...]

Yep..just saw Schefter’s report. However, wouldn’t be surprised to have the team go this route as to not affect FA or the draft and then when all that finishes up. Scot is infact done as GM. That is how I see it going anyway.

Its not that bad. Singletary has really stepped up the scouting. I think we will be fine.

I believe the reason has to be VERY personal because professionally speaking it would make zero cents to let your GM go just before one of the biggest drafts in our club’s history.

Question is: did he take all of his pre-draft information with him? Or would that be the property of the Forty Niners?

Not the greatest news to hear 5 weeks before the draft but I guess the personal reasons maybe because of the draft?

Comment on WTF? McCloughan May Be Stepping Down by Ninerfan81

No matter what your personal opinion might be we (Niner Fans) need to be thinking of the organization. To lose a GM 5 weeks before the draft is just ridiculous and speaks MORE about the ownership then our GM.

Espeically, if the reports are true that Ownership gave him a “quit or be fired” option.

As far as our activity in the FA market, we’ve seen through other teams in order to build a success franchise for years to come you build it through the draft and not through “high priced” FAs.

Personally, I like what the Niners have done so far in free agency. You need to let your young talent grow into leaders of the future like Patrick Willis and Veron Davis. Then add some veteran talent to complement our roster, not BIG names to try and take over.
