This is obviously change for the sake of change...Nothing is going to salvage their year...This might be a grasping at straws move by Tomsula to try to keep his job...I can't see that happening either...He and ex-boy wonder can ride off into the sunset together, I'd guess...

Columnist rips Kaepernick as “arrogant, rude”

It’s now open season on 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
The news yesterday that Kaepernick has been benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert was met by at least one member of the Bay Area media deciding to kick Kaepernick while he’s down.
“Kaepernick one of the most arrogant, rude athletes I ever covered in 35 years,” veteran Bay Area columnist tweeted today.
That didn’t go over well. Lowell Cohn heard from plenty of readers who wondered why he felt the need to attack Kaepernick personally rather. It’s completely fair to criticize the way Kaepernick has played this season — he’s played like garbage — but Cohn (who has a history of taking personal shots at Kaepernick) didn’t comment on Kaepernick’s on-field performance. He only criticized Kaepernick as a person.
After hearing from readers who thought he went too far in going after Kaepernick, Cohn doubled down.
“It is a true statement as far as my interaction with Kap goes. Other journalists find him rude and arrogant, believe me,” Cohn wrote. “I wrote the tweet because Kap’s time in SF/Santa Clara is coming to an end and I wanted to express my feelings — feelings I have expressed many times before.”
Cohn also complained that people on Twitter began to lob personal attacks at him and his son (who also works in the Bay Area sports media) after his Kaepernick tweet. If that’s the case, those people were wrong. But it’s a little odd to complain about personal attacks when Cohn got the whole thing started with a personal attack toward Kaepernick.
If Kaepernick is arrogant and rude, that’s a character fault, but it’s not the reason he’s failed as the 49ers’ quarterback. His real faults are on the field, and as his time in San Francisco comes to an end, it’s the on-field failures that really deserve scrutiny.
