Jim Tomsula Gets The Oregon Job
Did you forget about ol’ Jim Tomsula? I bet you did. I did. I miss Jim Tomsula. He hasn’t been heard of since he got fired outside one sighting at a gym. I wonder what the heartburn farter (as they called him, somewhere) resides these days. Jim Tomsula seems like a guy who’d be a good used car salesman. Or maybe he could be the baggage retrieval cart operator at a small municipal airport. A window washer. A plumber. I think Jim Tomsula would make a good plumber. Honestly, part of me thinks he made his nugget with his one year as head coach and now he’s just retiring with his millions from Jed York so he can sit in his suburban house and grill steak all day until a clot takes him out. Doctor tells him he’s gotta keep that blood pressure down, but damn those meatball subs are too good.
But lets take a moment to appreciate that Jim Tomsula got 5 wins out of these 49ers. The same 49ers that have gone 1-11 under new head coach Chip Kelly and might very well be the worst team in the entire league. I personally think they are, even with the Browns in play, as if you take away the week 1 fluke against the Rams, I think the 49ers have a worse point differential. Is Jim Tomsula a better coach than Chip Kelly? He had pretty much the same roster to work with (A really, really terrible one). Navorro Bowman has missed most of this season, but I don’t think a single Navorro Bowman is worth 5 wins. The 49ers are such a trainwreck and it came to a head this year. I don’t think Chip is the problem (It’s York, but in more specific team terms, it’s Baalke), but he’s not helping.
I thought Chip was actually a good hire at the time. I think he might have built something interesting in Philly if the ownership didn’t lose patience with him so fast. I question his ability to sustain a fancy offense in this league and I think he’s better suited for college ball, but as far as coaches go, I thought the 49ers could have done worse, like I dunno, Gus Bradley. But it’s hard to deny that Jim’s team last year actually won a few games and Chip Kelly’s team is not winning anything. Kaep will have a good game, then he’ll have a terrible game. The loss against the Bears was one of the ugliest games I’ve seen all year. A complete disgrace and total trouncing by another team that is likely drafting top 5.
Jed York will always be the big problem that is unfixable, but GM Trent Baalke is the fixable issue. When they fired Harbaugh I remember talk about how they “didn’t need him” because the roster was so good and people pointed to Baalke as the reason why the 9ers reached the Super Bowl. Well nobody is defending Baalke now. Even removing the freak retirements, this team has turned full pumpkin really fast and they are a talentless husk of a team out there. There’s no way to justify keeping Baalke, he with the extra A name.
It won’t matter. The 9ers are screwed for a long time and in a couple decades we’ll probably call this the curse of Harbaugh.
Shoulda kept Jim Tomsula
The Mic Rula
The old schoola
you wanna vacuum
he’ll sell it to ya
I’d like to think that Jim Tomsula’s idea of dressing nice is to put a tie on over his sweatstained tank top.
Curses are good for the world of sports, they provide good storylines. With the Cubs finally breaking theirs last month, somebody needed to take their place.
Agreed, sports curses are the best narratives
Is this the first college comic?
No, he’s made a couple before.
Go Buckeyes
Jim Tomsula better find a job somewhere, he’s too fun to not have in the NFL.
Oh nevermind, Tomsula got paid 15 million when he got fired, he’s never coming back
I mean, you know he spent most of that 15 million on scratchoffs trying to win 10 million
If you haven’t seen it already Dave, a fish restaurant in Iraq is using your artwork to sell “Trump Fish”. How does it feel to know you’ve offficially made it big?

Weird because they stole it but I can’t really do anything
Weren’t they wondering why his hair was a god dang thunderbolt?
Am I the only one who thinks that the drawing of Jim Tomsula looks like a younger version of Carl from “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”?

Hey guys take it easy on the man, maybe he’s new here
but yeah BDubs, thats the joke
It is.
I am conflicted with Chip Kelly. He had two good years in Philly and then was a disaster last year and this year is abysmal. I like him and am pulling for him, but his team plays so bad. I understand he doesn’t have a QB that gives him a chance, but the beat down by the Bears was embarrassing. I keep thinking he will figure something out because he is, well, Chip Kelly, offensive genius, that has changed all of college football forever, not to mention that Belichick would visit him to learn his offense. Now, that guy is being blown out by the Bears?
Also, enjoyed the comic. Thanks.
It’s funny because that Giants fan made comic totally looks like it was written by one of us niners. Well done, Dave, you’re a sharp football mind. 😉
Do you think Jim Harbaugh will ever return to the NFL? There are definitely quite a few decent teams that could do with a coaching change. I was secretly hoping he would come back and take over from Jeff Fisher. LA deserves to have a good coach, and in the right hands that team has a chance to do well.
I think he might, but it’ll be a while. I think he’s happy at Michigan, Michigan loves him, and he’ll only return if he’s had success there for a long time and wants a new challenge.
They took Tagert from usf and we got a guy who can’t even win at texas. UNIVERSITY OF STUPID FLORIDA IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I’M LAZY
Also, Jeff Fisher got fired
Jeff Fisher fired. I honestly though the first coach fired this season would be from the AFCS.
Dick Lebeau?
Update on the whereabouts of the Mic Rula. Apparently he’s working for the Redskins now.
Not an HC so he won’t be too prominent maybe, but with Dave’s favorite team playing in the same division, here’s to hoping we’ll get more scenes of Tomsula on this great comic in the future!
Current update for Tomsula…he’s the head coach of the Rhein Fire in the European League of Football (ELF) as a HC
