I don’t know about you, but I find that to be such a shame since Adam Gase has proven to be an ineffectual head coach. The 49ers simply cannot continue to let him waste away on subpar teams (they did enough of that early on in his career).

I have no idea when Gore will decide to retire, but when it happens, he needs to be a 49er. I have no doubt Kyle Shanahan would be able to scheme the franchise’s all-time running back into the No. 2 spot on the all-time rushing list.
