PrintFooch's Note: I'm down in Las Vegas for the first week of NCAA tournament games. Consider this an open thread for discussions of the NCAA tournament today, and if you feel like mixing in some Scot McCloughan insanity, have at it. Don't forget to join our tourney bracket group. Group name is Niners Nation; password is go49ers.
Is Scot McCloughan Irish? Hell, I dunno. In the spirit of the David Carr presser that never happened, I will present something that also didn't happen during Carr's presser, at least for the press, which was food. May I present you with a description of an Irish Breakfast, as experienced by myself having an epic one at Fiddler's Green in the Wharf in San Francisco. Do you love meat? Fiddler's has it for you by the pound. On a Carb free diet? Don't go there. The freshly baked bread and and few pints of Guinness is enough to soak up all of the booze from the night before, but the best thing is the meat. Lot's of it. Bacon. Canadian Bacon. Irish Bacon, along with sausage, eggs, potatoes, bacon, fried tomatoes, navy beans, and the final heart stopper: blood pudding, which is basically even more greasy sausage. Awesome. Dinner is great there too, and if you stick around long enough and has mad game like Ninjames, you may have dessert with a stewardess out of Chicago.
Rise and shine Niners Nation, and happy post St. Patricks Day!! I got some Hair of the Dawg for youse too, with a Jameson on the side, neat.

"the crap we won't eat, but the Americans will"?
I suspect that you think tilting at windmills means something other than what it does.

Canadian bacon is the same as European bacon ...
… it just means it’s cooked for less time, is a bit fattier and often Back, whereas American bacon is griddled to within an inch of its life, is often streaky, and has a more brittle texture. American bacon is much nicer, in my humble opinion, having eaten bacon in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Spain and probably elsewhere. Nowhere does pig better than the Spanish though – the Americans do the best bacon, but for other uses of the pig, Spain is king. Chorizo, whole roast suckling pig, all that. Mmm.

When carving your roast Kevin Bacon for the traditional Baconmas feast, remember your six degrees of separation. Separate both arms, both legs, and the head from the body. The head is somewhat useless, but the arms and legs provide lean, somewhat chewy cuts of savory meat when prepared correctly. Then, separate the ribs at the sternum to open the torso, allowing full access to the inner cavity.

Is Mc Boo Foo getting fired/stepping down/whatever, was that all just a bunch of smoke, or do we still not know?

Hey drummer ...
… how come no pic of your breakfast. Pat Willis posts pics of his breakfasts on Twitter all the time? If it’s goood enough for him, it ought to be good enough for you. You will never play Mike back for the Niners with that sort of laissez faire approach to social media and petit dejuener, mon ami.

McC
My guess is he was bumping lines with Ron Washington and Sing caught him.

Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News writes that the team is making “short-term adjustments in front-office structure” in order to fill McCloughan’s duties.

Just the overall silence confirms the GM is being fired. All that is left is the “what happened?”. Speculation is it’s got hardly anything do with football and/or philosophy.
yeah what happened
All signs point to a particular instance. Why did they all of a sudden fly back from London?
Well, obviously ...
… they heard about Drummer’s breakfast at Fiddlers and decided they wanted some. As an Englishman, I cannot pretend I’m not insulted that they found the Full English to be little of their liking. I could have told them where best to go. Flying Back to get bacon feels like one of John York’s rasher decisions, but perhaps they just wanted to alleviate the daily rind.

If it’s happening now, and suddenly, all signs really point to some kind of extracurricular slip. I can’t believe that it would be a football decision to mire the team in a front office overhaul less than a month before the draft.
On the other hand, the continued lack of disclosure is strange. You would think that if McCloughan committed a fire-able offense, it would have at least been public enough for there to be rumors floating around…

I think we'll get something by this afternoon
I’m gonna go to Team HQ and start demanding INFO FOR THE FANS!!
It could actually be a personal issue, like a family member is very sick..as in dying ..
Right now we just don’t have enough facts to know the truth.. it is all spectulation at this point.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Could it be...
That Sing wanted McC to be fired so he could bring in someone he likes as GM… and he went to the Yorks who cowered in his presence and agreed to do whatever he wanted?
This isn’t THAT far fetched.

I don’t doubt the possibility that Singletary and McCloughan don’t see eye-to-eye, even that they are far enough apart to cause problems, but I really can’t see any rational way that Singletary or the front office push McCloughan out right now at this offseason juncture for a reason as petty as football disagreements.

maybe during the eval process something was noticed
maybe one of the two new guys in the room, Scolari & Schottenheimer, impressed Sing and Jed more than Scotty MC
Ideas
Sing likes Scolari so much he wants him to be GM. Scolari was part of his hypothetical organization when he first interviewed for HC jobs – so clearly he likes his philosophy.
Scolari goes back to the glory days – thus Sing and Jed would be on the same page
and Jed has already promoted himself to CEO and Parage to another position
Thus, possible Parrage takes over. Maybe the shift was a prep for this step?
His name is actually Solari not Scolari...
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Although I'm sure he wishes his last name were Scolari.
Then he might be related to me. ;-)

Clearly you're onto something with this whole Scolari business
I was trying to keep it quiet.
by Brendan Scolari on Mar 18, 2010 4:01 PM PDT up reply actions
Interesting to note that ...
… yesterday Matt Maiocco reported that the upheaval was “just five weeks before the draft”, implying it was bad timing, but today MM says Scott M’s work is done as the draft board is done and all that remains is Sing’s job, to look into rookies’ eyes and make a call on their mindset. This feels like a change in how one might perceive this.

Agreed.
If the board is set and Sing is just going to go with the highest rated player then I’m not too worried. But I am worried about potential FA’s and draft day trades. McC was good with that as evident by him dumping our 2nd last year for a 1st this year.

True ...
… although ScottMc was more triumpalist than, in retrospect, he should have been when he made that deal. I remember him crowing about the Panthers’s schedule and yet they end up 8-8 and all we got was a mid first round pick this year instead of a higher second last year, so the OT we would have got won’t be much different from the OT we will inevitably draft now, just a year later and more expensive! Having said that, I think anyone would have taken that deal at that time!

But when you look at Jake Dellhomme you can only assume whatever team he is on is gonna suck. Gooooooo Cleveland!

Dunno what to think of this.

I'd still like to know why.
I’m a little pissed off though.

So what are we going to do now???
Scotty is gone, whos running the draft?

Jed York: Hey Scot, we’re taking Tim Tebow with our 13th overall pick. Decision’s been made.
Scot McCloughan: I’m taking a temporary leave of absense. See ya in June.

Tells me the Scotty McC is going to be checking himself into rehab and once he is out he might actually have his job back.
