The owner pretty much made it clear that they were moving to a coach centric model, so yeah, Urban will be wielding a lot more control.  To that end, if he can work with Baalke and they can build a team that wins quickly enough, it's a good hire.  I am relatively indifferent on Baalke.  He did some good and some not so good in SF.  But, he also had control over who was coaching there, and he won't have a say in the matter here, although he supposedly did want Urban.  

According to what I've read, there's nobody that will outwork Baalke when it comes to researching players.  If Urban and he can put that to work and build a quality roster, great.  If they can't do that with the trove of draft picks and cap space this team enjoys right now, they'll both be gone soon enough.

Should be interesting to watch this thing develop.
