| 18th March, 2010 - 3:18 pm |  Fanhouse - The San Francisco 49ers are cutting ties with their general manager, Scot McCloughan, over what has been described as a "personal matter" not related to team issues.
Reached Thursday morning, McCloughan told FanHouse via text message, "I'm fine and moving forward." He would not elaborate further.
Team president/CEO Jed York told FanHouse that he did not want to comment on McCloughan's status with the franchise at this time. However, multiple NFL sources confirmed that McCloughan is no longer with the organization because of longstanding personal issues.
"It was by mutual agreement," a source said of the decision that followed a closed-door meeting on Wednesday between McCloughan, York and several members of the 49ers' front office team.
Mike Singletary has been more actively involved in the scouting, background checks and evaluation of 49ers' free agents and draft prospects.
"The 49ers are in a good position right now; they have their draft and personnel matters well under control, and this is the best outcome for all parties. Everyone can move forward," a source said. [READ] |
