Thread: the Head Coach candidates thread

Coaching can fix everything but the OL, and even then most coaches think they’re just fine “getting by” on the offensive line; “we’ll scheme around it, we’re coaches!”.

Of course you’ll need the players, but you aren’t fixing it all no matter what you do. Might as well land the great coach who will be around while the house is out back in order.

We're a consistent 5-7 win team even with upper tier coaches like Munchak at the OL. The only difference it made was to an already talented player like Bolles. We put in trash along the rest of the OL and Munchak didn't turn that into a good OL.

We already tried different schemes from power/combo blocks and even outside zone.

Any other ideas before we finally try to bring in some real OL talent?

Evero is now scheduled for a second interview with the Colts as well. Sounds like he's doing well, which surprises me not at all. He's clearly a bright dude. I'm going to freakin' hate it if we lose him and don't put someone equally competent in his place, but you gotta wish the guy luck if the Donkeys don't want him.

LOL - while we're all feverishly speculating, the whole process is on hold while Rob Walton goes hunting.

Of course it is.

I mean, it doesn't really bode well for a super successful ownership tenure -- but I think I oddly respect him more mispronouncing Goodell's name at the introductory press conference and now telling everyone to **** off and work around his schedule. Guy doesn't give a ****, this is just something he does in his spare time.

When you got eleventy billion dollars, I guess you get to call the shots.

It could be an alpha play - like go on your little piddly interviews, Sean, and when I get back we'll talk about what number you want me to write on the check.

Pretty boss. He'll still never be as cool as Pat Bowlen rocking a fur coat and mirror shades, though.

Looks like Ryans is a popular man. We do have at least a bit of a leg up if he's really our guy, though.

But with his team still in the postseason, Ryans has conducted only two interviews thus far. He has had initial interviews with the Texans and Broncos, postponing interviews with the Colts and Cardinals.

Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports that the Panthers also requested an interview with Ryans, but the sides were unable to work out logistics for an interview during the open window.

As it stands now, per NFL rules, Ryans can have second interviews with the Texans and Broncos next week regardless whether the 49ers win or lose the NFC Championship Game. But for coaches whose team makes the Super Bowl, only second interviews can take place next week, Jan. 30 to Feb. 5.

The Panthers, Colts and Cardinals can’t talk to Ryans until the day after the Super Bowl if the 49ers beat the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

You had one good offense coach. Maybe try a real head coach that isn’t total asss and a slew of real assistant coaches?
If you get Payton he’s here for more than one draft cycle; what’s stopping him and Denver from drafting o-line now and then?

Exactly. One first round pick ain’t that damaging; if it costs a ton that’s a different story.

I wonder if Ryans would prefer the Texans job

Klis throwing water on that report.
