| 1st January, 2008 - 10:47 pm |  Yahoo.com - Mike Nolan will keep his job as the coach of the 49ers but will relinquish final say over personnel decisions, Yahoo! Sports has learned.
After two days of deliberation, 49ers owners John and Denise DeBartolo York decided Tuesday to retain Nolan, who has two years left on the five-year contract he signed before the 2005 season. His 16-32 record over three seasons, including a 5-11 mark in '07, put his job in jeopardy, and he will likely make changes to his coaching staff.
Nolan, who has also been the 49ers' de facto GM since joining the franchise, agreed to give up front-office control as a condition of his return. The franchise will hire a GM to assume those duties, and the leading contender is believed to be current vice president of player personnel Scott McCloughan. [READ] |
