On January 14, 2015, Tomsula became the 49ers' head coach, succeeding Jim Harbaugh who had been forced out by 49ers CEO Jed York.

Tomsula employed new coaching practices, which included giving his players breaks to check social media during meetings, shorter, easier practices, and more days off. The result was one of the worst offenses in team history. It was also documented that Tomsula farted during a press conference before the Green Bay Packers, although he would blame a chair. Scoring only 238 points, the 49ers would struggle to a 5–11 season, with Colin Kaepernick ending the season on injured reserve after being benched. The 49ers would ultimately be eliminated from postseason contention in Week 14 of the 2015 regular season.

Tomsula was fired just a few hours after the 49ers season finale against the St. Louis Rams, which the 49ers won 19–16 in overtime.[12] On January 4, 2016, York confirmed that the 49ers would pay Tomsula $14 million for his one season as head coach.


From Wikipedia. A coach who farts and blames the chair. Sounds a lot like how Urban handled things here.
