Quote:What has he done since winning the last SB?  Nothing.   His team missed the playoffs and then his last year had a season like Gus.   Age catches up with you. So does Alzheimer's.  If this was 10 years ago I am fine with it.  

 

But now.  With a guy who has not done anything since last SB win.  Makes no sense. 

 

Coaches always flame out in an organization for a while. There defense has been very bad the last few years. This offseason they totally rehauled that defense and Landon Collins has become a top end safety...

Quote:Down in Jax for Xmas as always. Staying with family at the beach. Their neighbor is fairly close with Shad in the sense that he works for him. Saw him outside walking dog and briefly asked about the coaching search. Supposedly one of our first calls was to Harbaugh but he isn't interested. There is one other college coach they really like but he wouldn't say for some reason. They really like Mike Smith but may be leaning towards an offensive coach.


Can confirm none of this obviously but just passing along some nuggets of info from someone close to the boss.


I think I'm pulling for Mike Smith. Disappointed to hear they may be leaning toward offensive coach.

 

Awesome to hear stuff like this even if it may not be completely true.

 

Why are you disappointed to hear about the offensive coach? I'd also dig Mike Smith, but honestly if an offensive mind can bring in a halfway decent DC the defense should be good to go. There's a lot of talent on that side of the ball. Our entire offense looks utterly pathetic this year.

 

Ultimately, IDC too much about what side of the ball they come from. Coordinators, especially the coordinator for the side of the ball he doesn't specialize in, is pretty much the most important thing. Can't have a guy like Greg Olsen if we hire a defensive coach. Can't have a guy like Bob Babich if we hire an offensive coach.
