Quote:I think Baalke was the big problem with the 49ers. He was the reason Harbaugh was dumped and according the Chip Kellys coach's he never consulted with them at all regarding players.


The Jaguars job is pretty much win within two years or Caldwell will be gone and you'll leave your employment in the new GMs hands.


With the 49ers it will be more of a long term project. If the GM is in any way competent the clock won't start for the new coach until they get their QB. Let's you build the roster more in your image and gives you a chance to learn on the job more so than being expected to win.

What about this roster says this team shouldn't win in the next two years? You have Ramsey, Amukamara, Telvin, Jack, Ngakoue, Malik, Abry, etc. on defense.

 

You have 3 WR's who have shown to be above average when healthy. A top 5-8 center in the NFL. Loads of cap room that likely sure up 1 or both of the spots on the OL (or at least presents us with new players who had past success, whether they work out is anyones best guess), and another top 5 pick. If Bortles sucks next year, you get your own guy the following year. If the new guy in 2018 (if Blake busts) blows chunks than this coaching staff likely was bombed.

 

So what if you'd get one more year in SF? It's a lot more likely to have success in 2 years here than 3 years in SF with little talent. They literally have nothing offensively, and defensively they have like 3-4 good pieces.
