This from the RotoWorld site:
The 49ers have fired offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye, according to NFL.com's Jason LaCanfora.
Raye gets canned just 18 hours after the dreaded vote of confidence. Something had to change here, as the Niners are 0-3 and rank 31st in the league in points scored. One source told beat writer Matt Maiocco that Chiefs defenders were calling out the 49ers' play correctly before the snap Sunday and Raye called three straight running plays up the middle while trailing 24-3 in the third quarter. This change can only be seen as good news for Michael Crabtree, who can't seem to get on the same page with Alex Smith. Quarterbacks coach Mike Johnson has been promoted.
