The 59ers really have to fire T.edford now. Everything's aligned well for them: there are a number of interesting-looking coaches with West Coast or Bay Area ties (Bay Area: MacIntyre, Taggart, Roman, Wilcox, off of the top of my head) and, if they fire him, they'll likely be the only Pac-12 job open. So you have the #1 choice of a nice market.
The only possibility of another opening would be the presumably highly-desirable Oregon job, but that's if the NFL decides they want to see the Chip Kelly era begin there. That would knock the 59ers down to #2. But if they fire him now, mid-season, they can take a page from Arizona's book and scout out replacements midseason.
(I don't think I need to mention what a gift it'd be to the rest of the Pac-12 if T.edford stays in the job. Any chance we can get friendly media members to start writing stories comparing T.edford to Mike Riley? Like Riley, I'm sure the turnaround is Just. Around. The. Corner. Gotta give him time, guys!)
