Team president and CEO Jed York told Comcast SportsNet that responsibility for the 49ers' 0-5 record begins with him and trickles down to everybody in the organization.
York expressed confidence in coach Mike Singletary and the direction of the organization in a phone interview from the NFL owners meetings in Chicago. He promised 49ers fans, "We're going to make you proud."
York said most of the team's losses have come down to "a couple plays a game," including the team's 27-24 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. He said the 49ers are a good football team that must play "a little more relaxed."
And York did not back down from his text message to ESPN's Adam Schefter earlier Monday, in which he stated the 49ers would win the NFC West.
Here is the transcript from the Q&A:
Q: Is this a time of crisis for the 49ers?
York: "We just need to relax, take it one practice at a time, one play at a time, one game at a time, and let the rest take care of itself."
Q: You saw and heard the fan reaction last night at Candlestick Park that was directed at Alex Smith. What was your reaction when you heard the crowd?
York: "It's frustrating to lose, but Mike's our coach and he's going to make the decisions on who's playing and who's not."
Q: Have you had any conversations with Alex to see how his mind is right now?
York: "No, I try not to talk to the players. That's not my position."
WTF?!
Q: Has your confidence in Mike Singletary wavered?
York: "No."
Q: Why not? It's a team that had such high expectations and the right buttons aren't being pushed. Why are you still confident in Mike Singletary?
York: "I think when you look at the way we've lost games, even last night, it comes down to a couple plays a game when we're not making plays. And it's not one person. It's everybody -- from me all the way down to guys on the practice squad. It takes a little bit more concentration, a little more focus. I think more than anything, we are a good football team, but we just have to play a little more relaxed."
Q: Couldn't you say that filters down from the head coach, who is not exactly a real relaxed person?
York: "I think it starts with me. And it's everybody. And we're all in this together."
Q: What is your feeling about how Alex Smith is playing?
York: "Everybody needs to play better. If you're 0-5, you can play better."
Q: In the offseason you had an opportunity to address the quarterback situation, whether it be a potential trade for Donovan McNabb or the drafting of a quarterback. Is there regret about not addressing the quarterback situation more than you did?
York: "No. It's a long season and you can't judge based on the first five games."
Q: You mentioned winning the NFC West in a message to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Why make that statement now?
York: "Adam asked if we were going to fire our coach, and I respectfully said, 'Adam, we're going to win our division.'"
Q: Have you addressed the topic of Mike's job security with him or inside the organization?
York: "No."
Q: Are you committed to seeing this thing through with Mike Singletary for the rest of the year?
York: "Mike's our coach."
Q: How disappointing is this for you to have a season everybody expected to be a good year -- pundits picked you to win the NFC West -- and the team starts the season 0-5?
York: "We need to come together when we have adversity and deal with adversity and make sure we don't listen to the outside world and not focus on what other people think. We'll take care of business and we'll prove those people (who made the preseason predictions) right."
Q: Is it business as usual? Do you keep going with the plan you laid out at the beginning of the season?
York: "Yes."
Q: Did you have any say in the Jimmy Raye firing?
York: "No."
Q: What was your reaction when Mike Singletary made that decision?
York: "I think it was a good move."
Q: Did you lead on to Mike that you thought it would be a good move?
York: "No. We always meet the day after the game and when we got home from Kansas City, I said, 'Mike, we'll just meet at the regular time tomorrow. I don't want to talk about anything now. We'll sleep on it and see what our feelings are tomorrow.' He brought it up to me (the next morning). I said, 'If that's what you want to do, coach, I support you.'"
Q: Have you seen reason for encouragement the past two weeks with Mike Johnson at offensive coordinator?
York: "Yeah, I think we did some things well last night. But we need to keep improving. It's not just one piece. It's everybody working together."
Q: Did you expect the defense to play better than it has this season?
York: "I think everybody needs to play better, and I think we're capable."
Q: Do the 49ers need a quote-unquote respected football guy in the front office to steady the ship in times of crisis? Do the 49ers need that kind of guy now?
York: "We need a win right now."
Q: Are you happy with the makeup of the front office?
York: "I like the staff that we have."
Q: Does Sunday's game have much bigger consequences than the typical game, considering it's against the Raiders, you're at home and your team is 0-5. Is this a big game that has significance beyond the standings?
York: "They're all big games for us. We just need to take it one practice at a time, one play at a time, one game at a time."
Q: Anything you want to say directly to the fans?
York: "Just keep supporting us. We're going to make you proud."

HAHAHAHA make sure you change yo tampon before you reply next time you pussy quit acting sensitive we talking football.
"HAVING A RUNNING TEAM AIN'T GON WIN SHIT"
That is what you said....First of all I never said the Niners needed to EXCLUSIVELY be a running team, I was just saying that Frank Gore needs to produce more than he has if they are going to be successful. But since you said that "RUNNING TEAMS AIN'T GON WIN SHIT".....I let you know that damn near every super bowl winning team has a top tier running game. Wouldn't that make them a running team? Just because you're good at one thing doesn't mean you can't be good at the other. The Saints last year were a running AND passing team, that's why they won. The Niners are neither right now.

He's gonna say whatever he needs to say to make sure the gullible portion of the fan base continues to line his pockets with Franklins despite the product they're given each week.
I'm not going to lie, this team has the talent to still win the division, but they are out-coached and undisciplined every week. Couple that with an ultra-conservative QB, who's conservativeness still causes turnovers, by the way, and you have games like the Philadelphia game for the rest of the year.
With better QB play, they'd be 3-2 right now. New Orleans, Atlanta and Philly are all wins if our QB doesn't kill scoring drives with turnovers. I know it's not all Alex Smith, but an upgrade in that department would garner wins in each of those games despite the defense giving up 20 to the Eagles, despite Gore fumbling twice against the Eagles, despite Joe Nedney missing a short field goal against the Eagles, despite Nate Clements fumbling after the INT against the Falcons, despite Drew Brees' last minute drive against New Orleans, etc. While it's not all on Alex, an upgrade there can and would negate all those misfortunes.

I actually did watch my DVR recording. Sometimes you don't notice things at the games, but crowd noise is something that isn't easily missed and it's a portion of the game that can only be judged in person, at the game. You don't get the full effect of the crowd on your local channel's broadcast. In the stadium, it was no louder than it usually is when the offense got to the line and was ready to run their play. It got loud whenever Alex fucked up. A 12th man makes noise when they're at the line to fuck the offense up. The crowd was not doing that any more than they usually do (yes, I know they're confused), so no, they didn't turn into Philly's 12th man.
What you heard was 6 years of frustration boiling over at The Stick. These people pay their hard-earned money to watch a guy that cannot get it done. It sends a message to everyone, coach, OC, QB and owner included.
As you said, the game wasn't over, but it sure felt like it was over until those boos erupted and changed the way Smith handled himself the rest of the game.
