Jed York to Become the Official Owner of the 49ers

It will be interesting to see how the team changes now that York truly has the power to do anything he wants. Because he seems like someone who likes change.

Soon, Jed York honestly can say he owns the 49ers.

Until now, he has been the CEO of the 49ers, an organization owned by his mother, Denise York. So technically, he didn't own it. He ran the day to day operations since 2010, but she still has had the power to make the biggest decisions. Finally, Jed York will have that power, as he's buying out enough of his mom's equity to make himself the principal owner of the franchise, a move that should become official this week at the NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando, according to Sports Business Journal.

It will be interesting to see how the team changes now that York truly has the power to do anything he wants. Because he seems like someone who likes change.

York is the one who hired Mike Singletary and fired him, then hired Jim Harbaugh and fired him, then hired Jim Tomsula and fired him, then hired Chip Kelly and fired him. All because York seemed to see himself as the heir apparent to Eddie DeBartolo Jr., who won five Super Bowls as the owner of the 49ers and had the highest standards.

I can't prove it, but I always got the impression that York wanted to keep Trent Baalke after firing Chip Kelly, and that the mother was the one who pushed for a complete reset, and ultimately decided to hire Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch and give them contract extension after contract extension despite losing Super Bowl after Super Bowl.

York was the one who said 10 years ago that the 49ers don't hang NFC Championship Banners. Now that he has full control of the team, let's see if he finally holds Kyle Shanahan accountable, because his parents never have, and Eddie DeBartolo probably would have fired him by now.
