The 49ers hired new head coach Jim Tomsula this week, a move that was met with a great deal of "Who the heck is Jim Tomsula?" And while fellow new coaching hire Rex Ryan unleashed an introductory press conference in Buffalo that was equal parts pep rally, revival meeting and confessional, Tomsula's introduction was a bit more ... muted.
Speaking with CSN Bay Area in an interview taped Wednesday and released Friday, Tomsula takes "keeping it close to the vest" to new extremes. Pressed on everything from whom he might consider as his coordinators to his relationship with departed coach Jim Harbaugh, Tomsula says so little that, in some cases, he doesn't even form actual words, simply breathing heavily into the microphone.
Granted, this is a fidgety place to put a guy who clearly is more comfortable on a sideline than behind a mic. But 49ers fans have to hope that Tomsula is a little more inspirational in the locker room than he is on video.
Then again, "I wouldn't say that, I wouldn't NOT say that" will be Marshawn Lynch's next media-dismissal line, you watch.
