Erickson and Donahue get thrown under the bus by York.

Its a shame.  I'm not a huge Erickson fan.  I'm not even a huge Niner fan. But I know a pile of b.s. when I see it.  Dr. Dork wants changes in the coaching staff.  Like he even knows what that sentence means... He wanted Erickson out and he needed an excuse.  Its that simple.  They are to take the blame for the mess York has created.

If Dr. Jerk knew so much about football, he probably wouldn't have extended Donahue's contract.  If he knew anything about public relations, he probably wouldn't have canceled the "family Xmas party" (I know already covered).  At least he hasn't changed the team name to something like the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim... I should say YET...

All Dr. Fork knows is how to save money.  The only "sighting" Niners fans have had of the "grand pooba" all year has been in the "bottom line"...

So he is nickelin' and dimin' the staff over postage stamps and paper clips... but he can cut loose $7.5 million on Erickson and who knows how much on Donahue.

Lets put that $7.5 mill into terms Dr. Pork can understand.  That is the equivalent of:

• 285,171,103 Paper clips ($2.63 per 100)
• 20,270,270 Postage Stamps ($.37 each)
• 15,100,671 Twinkees ($1.50 for 3)   
• 551,876 Copies of "Football for Dummies Book, 2nd edition"  ($13.59 each)
• 93,809 Vermont Teddy Bears - I chose the "Business Man Bear" so Mommy and Daddy can explain  budget cuts to their kids at Xmas time ($79.95 each)
• 33 Rookies at the minimum salary  (2005: $230,000)
• 15,000,000 Rolls of T.P. - 2 ply of course - doubles as tissue paper
• during the football season! ($6 per 12 rolls)
• 937,500 Stadium beers (at the current $8 price)
• 231 Honda Accord Hybrids - with GPS!    ($32,500 each)
• 30 Winners of "The Apprentice" - hell ya only need one or two
• to fix this mess...   ($250,000 per year per apprentice...)

It's great to see that this penny pincher can write off $7 million and still not solve the problem. Does he think that someone with "value" as a coach will cost less? Especially when he sees the mess that this franchise is in?
