In a shocking move, the 49ers parted ways with coach Jim Harbaugh who led San Francisco to a 13-3 appearance, and an NFC Championship appearance. Allen Murphy was named the new coach, as well as VP of football operations.

In his pre-season debut, Murphy's 49ers were impressive, defeating Minnesota 47-30, and completely dominating time of possession.

There were definate concerns, like a combined 5 interceptions between Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick, but overall the offense was effective, particularly the ground game.

"I think like any other game, there were positives and negatives for our team. But we got the win so it's an overall good game." coach Murphy was quoted as saying after the game. Unfortunately, one of those negatives is the loss of rookie halfback LaMichael James who is expected to miss 6 weeks with a partial ACL tear. James was expected to see a significant role in Murphy's new scheme, and his absence will certainly be felt.

Fortunately, Kendall Hunter stepped up to fill the void, rushing 9 times for 71 yards. Brandon Jacobs also contributed with 48 yards and 2 TD's on 12 carries. Rookie wide receiver AJ Jenkins impressed 120 yards on 7 catches.

Next up, the 49ers travel to Houston to take on the Texans.
