The San Francisco 49ers have promoted the team’s former defensive line coach Jim Tomsula to head coach. Speaking out on Tomsula’s appointment, wide receiver Anquan Boldin had some positive things to say about the coaching transition (via NFL.com).
He’ll be the same way, but I just think he has a pretty good feel for the locker room. Not saying coach Harbaugh didn’t. I don’t think coach Tomsula will be as tough as coach Harbaugh was.
He’s a great coach, first of all. For teams to be successful, you have to have as much continuity from year to year as much as possible. Hiring Tomsula gives us that continuity. The less change you have, the better chance you have of being successful the following year.
The tough comment stems from the idea that new Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh treated his NFL players like college players, which isn’t a system that always goes over successfully in the NFL. A smooth transition in coaching styles would be ideal, however, due to the fact the 49ers just sent nearly every assistant packing, creating a uninterrupted vibe could take some time.
