SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jim Tomsula wiped down his glasses then winked at his family across the room as he waited his turn to speak on the podium, unfamiliar territory and formality for a humble defensive line coach thrust into the top job for the San Francisco 49ers.Tomsula realizes full well the successful Jim he is following to lead this proud franchise, and the demands to get this team back on top in short order.Back to the Super Bowl, to win it this time.Im not Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaughs not Jim Tomsula, the 46-year-old Tomsula said Thursday, when he was formally introduced as Harbaughs successor. Im not trying to be that guy. Thats absolutely no disrespect to him. I am comfortable with who I am.Promoted to the head job on a four-year deal despite never being an NFL co-ordinator, Tomsula is ready to make the leap just as he is — colorful, enthusiastic, humble and unpolished.The journeyman coach, with 2 1/2 decades of coaching experience at various levels, emerged as the surprising choice of CEO Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke following an exhaustive search that included names such as Rex Ryan, Mike Shanahan and hot commodity Denver offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase.I dont believe I do anybody any good trying to justify anything, Tomsula said. Im not going to do that.He is already working to build his coaching staff, with running backs coach Tom Rathman the only expected holdover from Harbaughs group. Baalke met with many of the others early Thursday to find closure in face-to-face meetings.When the 49ers parted ways with Harbaugh on Dec. 28, York said afterward he wanted to find a teacher to lead the team forward and someone who would return the 49ers to winning with class in the wake of a rash of off-the-field incidents and arrests in recent years.Theres a way you carry yourself, Tomsula said. The second step winning with class is how you conduct yourself.Tomsula insists it starts with doing all of the little things to take responsibility for your own actions, and he said he presented a proactive approach to York and Baalke during the interview process. He considers part of the solution for players with so much so fast, being able to handle it, being able to channel it.He is a tremendous coach, as well as a great guy, and I know hes going to help us win, quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. I cant wait to get the playbook in my hands.Perhaps the biggest challenge will be getting Kaepernick and the offence back on track after a disappointing 8-8 season and the first missed playoffs in four years. Kaepernick is working out under the guidance of Kurt Warner and quarterback coaches in Phoenix this winter.Baalke made clear they would all work together to build the best supporting cast around Tomsula.One thing Im confident in, were going to do this together, and were going to do it together from Day 1 on, Baalke said.Baalke pointed to the fact each time the 49ers interviewed candidates — many with ample credentials — he and York kept coming back to Tomsula as the one who could check off every box they wanted checked.At one point, Baalke stepped in to help Tomsula make a point about coaching the offence.Somewhere in there, he said, Were going to run the ball, Baalke said.Tomsula has been a winning coach in NFL Europe and always wanted more. The real NFL back home, where he once lived in his car trying to make ends meet as a low-level assistant at his alma mater, Catawba College in North Carolina.Theres always an asterisk in front of NFL Europe, theres always an asterisk there, he said. Its awesome. I cant deny that fact. Its wonderful. Theres also a strong sense of responsibility. I get it, I do, I get the decision. I get everything that goes along with it, too. Its an honour. You get somebody to step up for you like that, step out there, and show you belief, you want to do good for them.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Daniel Jones Giants Jersey .com) - Roosevelt Jones had 19 points, seven rebounds and seven assists to lead No. Doug Kotar Youth Jersey .

TSN Hockey Insiders Pierre LeBrun and Bob McKenzie both reported Thursday that there have been ongoing trade discussions between the Oilers and Los Angeles Kings over forward Sam Gagner. The struggling Kings are desperate for some offensive punch and have been exploring trade options to acquire some help. One of the names in play as to who might be involved on the Kings end - according to McKenzie - is left winger Kyle Clifford. Whats notable in this potential deal is that neither player is a ppending free agent.dddddddddddd Gagner, 24, is in the first year of a three-year deal he signed last summer with an annual salary of $4.8 million. Clifford, 23, has one year remaining on a two-year deal worth $1.075 million per season. He is a restricted free agent at the end of next season. Due to the Kings salary cap constraints, speculation is that the Oilers may be forced to retain some salary. In 45 games this season, Gagner has six goals and 17 assists. Clifford has five points (three goals and two assists) in 48 games played. ' ' '
