"I think we can get it worked out," York said. "To sit there and throw rocks at the coach after you won the (NFC) West Division and you won a playoff game is foolish."

Jacksonville is thought to be interested in Mariucci if the 49ers let him go, but York said he hasn't received a call from the Jaguars asking for permission to negotiate with the coach.

Some friends of Mariucci have suggested to him that he take the rest of this week to rest and recharge his batteries, and then meet with York early next week.

This much, ESPN.com has confirmed, is solid: Mariucci won't be fired over the defeat Sunday.....more (http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs02/columnist/2003/0112/1491499.html)
