When San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula held his first press conference after being promoted, I was very vocal in saying that it didn't really matter whether or not he was particularly good at speaking at a press conference. That said, seeing him react well and look as comfortable as he did speaking at the NFL Combine on Thursday was a relief to some kind of anxiety I didn't know I had.
Especially given the past week or so, with the Jim Harbaugh interview and the reports about Adam Gase coming out -- I thought there might be some pressure on him. Most folks thought pressure played a big role in the disaster that was his first press conference. At any rate, we're chugging right along and the NFL Combine is in full swing. There's not a terribly large amount of news out there but there should be few repeats today.
Enjoy.
