Trent Baalke is back in football. The former 49ers GM has accepted a job within the league office, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.
Baalke will serve as a “Football Operations Consultant,” a job which is composed of several micro-jobs. He’ll have “an advisory role on game-related matters, officiating, player development and evaluation, and officiating video review,” sources tell Schefter.
Baalke was canned by San Francisco in January after five years as the team’s GM. Prior to that, he spent six years in the Niners’ front office. Under his leadership, the Niners advanced to the Super Bowl after the 2011 season, but that wasn’t enough for him to keep his job after a two-win season.
At one point this winter, Baalke was in the mix for a job in the Packers’ front office, but that never materialized.
I can’t stand this guy lol.
Train wreck!
Yeah, must be nice to be at that level where u fail repeatedly but are still seen as someone that deserves a big fat check.
This country…all about the rich guys
Under his leadership??? More like under Harbaugh’s leadership and despite Baalke’s missing spine…
