He sucked as a head coach but like Marinelli in Detroit greater blame belongs to that man that gave somebody so unprepared and unqualified for the HC position the job in the first place.

I kinda feel bad for Tomsula. He's a Peter Principle icon who was a vanity hire to soothe the egos of York and Balke. They were the ones that drove off an incredible coach. It's not Tomsula's fault he got out in a position where everything he did was a referendum on the 49ers treatment of Harbaugh.

He's gotten a lot of heat here, because he's the guy they wanted instead of JH. And he's awkward and probably unqualified. But c'mon, he's just a position coordinator. There are dozens of Michigan guys that we like that would look like buffoons if they were suddenly hired to replace a legend somewhere. Tomsula is an unfortunate scapegoat that was placed in an untenable position and hung out to dry.

Sure, they need to let him go. But let's cut the guy a bit of a break.
