Maybe they SHOULD consider giving Nielsen the reigns in the interim if this team continues to fail. At least his squad, regardless of who is in and out the line-up. Seem to play somewhat hard for him and respond to him adjustments wise.

Nielsen and his staff got good play out of two of those four backups yesterday too. 

I still don't like the way he's not getting Armstead on the field with JHA & TW, but... he did show he could adjust in-game yesterday with his back seven. (kinda have to when you give up a thousand yards in the first half) 

Anyway, I'm not crowning anyone on that staff right now, but McCoy would ostensibly need to be OC if they fire the guys everyone hates right now, there are no other qualified guys in house, so Nielsen at HC would make sense. 
Kris Richard (DB coach) has had multiple interviews in the past for DC jobs. He'd likely be fine there. 

I just wonder if Khan is thinking bye-week or January.

I agree with that.

Richard imo could also be interim HC imo. McCoy already proved he is not a good HC but he is capable as a OC.
Imo there is no point in keeping Baalke and Pederson. I don't see Pederson making the changes necessary or even being capable of turning the team around right now. Only reason to keep them is if you want the #1 pick.

Anyway, an interim HC could bring a spark to the team and we wouldn't have to see this [BLEEP] show... and maybe some players could show progress. If you are a Trevor fan you should be wanting this because there is no way he improves if the team stays this way.
