The drawn out and largely silent departure of Scot McCloughan as the 49ers GM has been a strange process. While reports swirled that he was leaving the team, and while he finally acknowledged his departure, the 49ers were silent.
Yahoo!'s Jason Cole took the 49ers ownership to task for failing to recognize the turmoil of the team's front office.
After nearly a week, the 49ers have finally spoken.
Here are a couple of Twitter accounts of what owner Jed York had to say:
York: "McCloughan is no longer the GM."
York isn't saying much. Mutual parting. "Private personnel matter."
On McCloughan's legacy: "You'd have to ask him."
York also confirmed earlier reports that player of personnel director Trent Baalke will lead the draft.
