49ers head coach Jim Tomsula is a delightful caricature of a person. If you saw him on the street, you’d probably assume he works at a Jiffy Lube in the Bronx, or North Jersey. He looks like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Despite this, he’s the coach of a prestige team, but you’d never know it, because he even treats his press conferences in the most casual of ways. A 49er fan friend of mine (@jmkrisko) pointed this out to me, but during a press conference discussing the upcoming Week 4 Packers game, Tomsula appears to let one rip right in the middle of a question.
Here’s the full video of the press conference. The hot wind escapes at about 6:56 minutes in.
It’s no baby squeak. That is a justifiable cheek-rumbler. That’s the meatball sub he shouldn’t have eaten last night at 12:30 because it gave him heartburn and he was all out of Tums. If this grosses you out, I’m sorry, but farts are hilarious.
Tomsula is impossible to not love. The man is raw. He’s a regular Working Joe who somehow managed to land one of the most prestigious jobs in sports. Tomsula doesn’t care about the media. They are an annoying group of flies to him. He doesn’t want to watch game film, he wants to sip a Miller and watch Survivor. His favorite movie is probably Rocky IV. Tomsula is a legend. More coaches should feel free to let the wind blow, show us they are human. Jim Tomsula could be your dad, your deadbeat dad, your uncle, or your single neighbor who won’t clean up his yard. He is America, and we should honor this national treasure.
