Maybe it's not completely fair to judge his intelligence based on only one interview.  Especially in the NFL where recruiting isn't a factor, I think it's possible to be kind of gruff or not that personable and still be a good coach.

But yeah, he didn't come off as being very charismatic or very prepared for the questions they were going to ask him.

This interviewer is aggressive and entitled.  I couldn't stand more than a minute before turning it off.  We have no idea what the coach is or isn't thinking because the interviewer is too busy talking and trying to force Tomsula to answer questions he doesn't want to answer.  

I am guessing, though, that the SF GM is a lot like David Brandon.  He didn't want a football coach; he wanted a sock puppet.

That was my initial thought as well. But if you keep watching, the interviewer does back off some and Tomsula continues to founder. In the end, neither man impresses in this clip.

Somebody with legitimate HC experience would have said something like "we are in the process of putting a great staff together and are very confident with how that's going..."

Wasn't as bad as I imagined.  He just wasn't prepared at all and seemed to be leery of trap questions.  He's not a good speaker... sometimes says too much and sometimes says too little.  In addition, he also had no chemistry with that interviewer, who was way too fast for him.  They didn't click at all and the interviewer was trying to make him look like a dunce.

WTF was up with Ira insinuating that Tomasula was the locker room "leak" that Harbaugh was losing his players so he could get the job. That was maybe the dumbest thing I've heard Ira say then he goes on to say "I don't have any inside information." Why say that in the first place.



Sam makes WTKA and Ira is just filler IMO
