The San Francisco 49ers fired coach Dennis Erickson on Wednesday, with the official announcement coming at a 5 p.m. ET news conference.

Erickson was informed of his fate shortly before noon on the West Coast after three days of short meetings with team owner John York. Erickson has three years and $7.5 million remaining on the contract he signed in 2003.

There is no word on the status of general manager Terry Donahue, who signed a four-year extension before the start of this season. There had been speculation that Donahue could also be fired, but he was still at work Wednesday.

York will make an announcement about organizational changes at the news conference.

Another chance for the the Bellichek regime to be broken up!

Great news!

I think it was that crushing defeat dealt by the Bills that broke the camel's back.
