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.
Forty Niners Forever 
Harbaugh is gone so this is a dead issue as well it should be!!
I believe Roman is contracted through 2015. So, somewhat surprising he hasn’t been fired, if his continuing presence was part of the Harbs problem…
Quit being so snarky!
Looks like Joey Bosa, the DE/DT from Ohio St is a true sophomore. He won’t be available in this year’s draft. He sounds like a top 10 pick for next year.
At least those stolen crab legs from Jameis Winston will be fresh and cold —
He stinks on ice.
Happy New Year.
They’ve reached the O/U total (72) with 12:30 left to go.
And before I could finish my train of thought, OU scored again. 59-20 Ducks.
Is it any wonder why the tackling in the NFL is watered-down?
The tackling in college horse piss.
Nice win by Oregon. Here’s a song for next week, “Don’t Take Me Alive.” The famous line is “I crossed my old man back in Oregon, don’t take me alive!”
Did you see who the NHL trotted out as their “entertainment” before today’s Winter Classic? Billy Idol. Nothing like an old and decrepit guy trying to relive 1982 come the first day of 2015. Twitter was just ripping Billy a new asshole for bringing back “White Wedding.” That famous “fist pump” of his woulda had no problem breaking through his sphincter today.
If they hire Rex Ryan, do we draw and quarter him when he lands at SFO? Or do we wait until his press conference? You’ve got to be pulling my lariat.
Can’t disagree with that Dennis.
Devon Smith looks like a nice deep threat.
I still think Fangio should get the job. Shanny and Ryan Cannot be options.
Gase i could live with I suppose, but none of the defensive coaches on the docket are as good as Fangio so I hope they don’t go that way. Don;t want Bevill,
What about Jim Mora? I haven’t heard his named mentioned much, if it all. He’s young enough (53) to relate to the players. Jim has NFL HC experience. We all know about his 49er ties. Pair Mora with the right OC. I could think of worse things.
Del- I’ve heard Jim Mora mentioned a couple of times. I’m starting to think Rex Ryan might be being interviewed for HC with DC in mind. I could see Fangio or Tomsula as coach with Ryan as DC.
Meh. Mora’s sorta committed to the Bruins. He has a fairly non distinguished NFL career.
Harbaugh was fairly swift to name somebody other than Roman as OC at Michigan. Things that make one say, hmmm!
I’ve come up with the answer. I’m probably full of shit so don’t take this as gospel. I don’t claim to know as much as The Three Stooges. Tomsula or Fangio as HC, RexRyan as DC and Mike Shannahan as OC. Shannahan has enough money that he might just want to win again. I can see Super Bowl already!
Helluva first half in tonight’s Sugar Bowl. I think someone forgot to remind the Buckeye’s third string QB and Urban Meyer that they’re 9 pt. dogs to Big ole Bad ole ‘Bama and their self-righteous pious holier-than-thou motherless fuck bastard of a head coach.
I know one thing: Meyer and the Buckeyes are going to kick Bo Schembechler Jr.’s ™ ass.
The Buckeyes 3rd string QB is a stud. He might just start next year. His problem is his youth. He might just win a Heisman in a couple of years.
Dennis sober on New Years?
Yeah! What’s that about!
I think we have enough talent to win a super Bowl and I love our QB. We need the coaching staff to take the next step. It was never going to happen with Harbaugh’s loyalty to Roman. The right coaching staff will take us there. It is very possible we regress but the best we would have done with Harbaugh is win and be entertaining without a ring. Guaranteed.
I love what Jed did. An upgrade to the coaching staff will give us a championship. If Jed screws this up then so what, Harbaugh was not ever going to win a SB, only a Stooge would think as much. Jed is playing to win instead playing, “not to lose”. I love his attitude. I am willing to take a step back if it means it was just an aggressive mistake in order to win it all. I’m glad Jed is our owner. He kicks ass because he isn’t afraid to face Stooges and be bold! Go 49ers!
BLEEP 8-8 !
Kiss my ass Nipper! LOL!
I feel like I am blowing up the Philippines with a Hendrix guitar!
You guys will never guess what I just did. I cleaned out my two kitchen “junk drawers.”
Guess what? I got a shitload of junk. I tossed old nuts and bolts. Instruction manual to Nintendo 64. A beat-up and torn 1982 Freddie Solomon Topps football card. I have a duplicate in fine shape.
Did you know that Freddie was born in Sumter, SC? Coincidentally Sumter also happens to be the birthplace of former ex-Miss USA, Miss Universe and girlfriend of Dwight Clark, Shawn Weatherly.
You guys remember, Shawn. She was excited to see our Niners play the “Atlanta Hawks.” Falcons, Hawks, what’s the fucking difference?
But even worse then that. Shawn was actually nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.
World, meet hell. Add handbasket.
So I’d say she was probably fuckable!
How does Ohio St win with a 3rd string QB? Two reasons. One, the 3rd string QB is a really good QB. Two, unlike the Greg Roman supporters can comprehend, Urban Meyer is as good a play caller as any coach in college football. I wish the 49ers could find a way to hire him.
