I only post this cause the Erikson had 3 years and 7.5 mil left on his contract the 49ers will pay. Plus they have like 29 mil in dead cap money they are paying to players no longer on the team. So if they can absorb the hit of firing their coach, why can't we? They won 2 games all year. Surely their attendance wasn't as high as ours. They haven't won a Superbowl in what, 9 or 10 years? They didn't make the playoffs last year. Noone likes their owner. So how can they have the ability to fire their coach and take the hit and we can't? Is it just Benson? What's the deal?
