Jed York picking up where Eddie D left off

When Jed York attended his first football game at age 3, he had already developed an eye for watching the way his uncle ran the San Francisco 49ers during their glory days. Nearly three decades later, the Niners are York's team — and he is trying to build something just as special as the dynasty Eddie DeBartolo Jr. had when the franchise won five Super Bowls in as many tries.

CEO Jed York looks to lead 49ers back to greatness

A casually dressed Jed York hardly looked the part of an NFL executive and owner, wearing slightly baggy jeans, a polo shirt and sneakers for Super Bowl week. The shoes were designer, but still.

San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York wants to retain Alex Smith

San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York is a happy camper when it comes to his quarterback situation. Why shouldn’t he be? It was the one-two punch of Alex Smith and Colin Kapernick that led his team to the threshold of the promised land. Unlike others that  have already stated that Smith is on the first thing smoking out of Dodge City, York is holding on to a belief that he can retain...

49ers Owner Hopes To Keep Kaepernick And Alex Smith

Sometimes executives are the best at sugar-coating a situation and sprinkling BS on it.  The San Francisco 49ers replaced quarterback Alex Smith with Colin Kaepernick, because Smith frankly had hit his ceiling. Kaepernick has now led to Niners to a Super Bowl and Smith is looking for his immediate release.  If you ask owner Jed York, he’ll say not so fast. York dismissed Smith...

49ers' York follows advice and path of Uncle DeBartolo

Stop me if this sounds familiar: The San Francisco 49ers are rolling into the Super Bowl with a young owner, whose first couple of coaching hires were flops, who was an outsider in a city that is suspicious of outsiders, and who at times acted just a little too impetuously. Sure sounds like Eddie DeBartolo, doesn't it? Only this time it's his nephew, Jed York. It is hardly...

Niners' success led by family values

As the San Francisco 49ers lurched back Sunday in the second half of a jaw-dropping NFC Championship Game revival to an almost surreal 28-24 victory, the DeBartolo York clan -- uncle, sister, nephew ... heck, the entire huge, loving, united family -- transformed another precious Super Bowl opportunity for this hallowed NFL franchise into a Norman Rockwell portrait.

QB Controversy In The Bay?

Three weeks ago, football in the Bay Area was devoid of controversy. 49ers were 6-2, and coming off a bye week, having just destroyed the Arizona Cardinals in a 24-3 victory on Monday Night Football. Alex Smith had a career day in that game, going 18 of 19 with 232 yards and 3 touchdowns. After that convincing divisional road win on national television, Super Bowl rumblings in the...

Jed York is maintaining the 49ers' fan base in a whole new way

Kathleen Russell runs a daycare business out of her Los Altos, Calif. home, so when anybody shows up unannounced, she's a little suspicious.
