49ers president Jed York is turning to his uncle, former owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., for advice on how to turn around the franchise.
DeBartolo will serve as a consultant in the process of finding a general manager.
Only after a general manager is in place will San Francisco begin looking for a replacement following the firing of coach Mike Singletary.
Former defensive line coach Jim Tomsula will lead the 49ers in their season finale.
