The names are flying around like confetti: Rex Ryan, Adam Gase, Josh McDaniels, Don Quinn, Darrell Bevell, Pete Carmichael, Hue Jassolle, Pep Hamilton, even crypt-keepers Mike Shanahan (and his son Kyle) and once and future past OC Mike Holmgren, Not to mention Fangio, Tomsula, and even Greg (urk) Roman as the internal candidates.
If they do go internal, which is a possibility, I’d tap Fangio. His job of holding together a defense riddled by injuries was above reproach. He also did more than his share to keep this team in a lot of games that could have definitely been losses if not for the stellar defense.
Lots of people out there are pooh-poohing the idea that anyone on the outside would even bother to want to get near this front office, but the reality is, this team has a lot of talent, and there are a lot of guys like Gase who would take the shot regardless of what the perception is with the front office. How he would be as a HC? Who knows?
All I know is I want a coach that can develop a cogent and fluid offense that can sustain drives and score in the red zone. I guess asking for a team that doesn’t burn all their time outs 10 minutes into the first quarter might be too much to ask for.

Harbaugh will put together really good teams at Michigan but get punked by Ohio St as long as Urban Meyer is there. He is just a superior play caller. Kind of like Harbaugh vs Pete Carroll. Carroll dominated Harbaugh as a coach. Basically chess vs checkers. Worse for Harbaugh Meyer is a better play caller than Carroll. Harbaugh will win but have no titles and last 4 or 5 years.
Happy New Year! May the Niners get a superior HC. Well one can hope at least.
What’s up with the price of eggs today? Just outrageous. For the cost it takes to secure a dozen, I expect them to be accompanied by Lee Marvin to personally crack and cook ’em for me.
Damn Dennis……Lee died years ago.
Who’s still alive that starred in that movie? Off the top of my head the only guy that I can think of is Jim Brown. Leave it to the guy who got hit for a living to still be kicking. And the NFL is worried about concussions. Fuck Roger Goodell.
Curiosity got the better of me. George Kennedy and Donald Sutherland have yet to push up daisies. They probably played football somewhere along the lines as well as Brown did. It toughens a man up. That and too much time in the sun. Leaves you the face of a catcher’s mitt.
