If we're gonna go with a defensive guy at HC, I don't want to see anybody but Fangio. f**k Rex, f**k the guy from Seattle, and f**k the guy from Arizona.

My sentiments, exactly

I couldn't agree more. That is not Dan Quinn's defense.. that's Pete Carroll's defense in Seattle. He's overrated. I don't know how they could justify hiring him over Fangio after what Fangio has done.

I like Fangio as HC, Donatell as DC and Tomsula as Def. Line coach.. need to find a damn OC though.

Isn't this the whole, it's not Adam Gase, it's Peyton Manning, it's not Josh McDaniels, it's Tom Brady argument? Or better yet, giving the credit for the offense in Denver to Mike Shanahan and none to Gary Kubiak? No doubt, Pete Carroll's philosophy and fingerprints are all over that defense, but we can't simply say that Dan Quinn doesn't deserve any kind of credit. This isn't me advocating for Dan Quinn being our HC either. I need to see more over a longer period of time before making a fair call on him. His past resume doesn't exactly jump out to me, but give the guy a little credit lol.

I do agree that the job Fangio has done is more impressive (this season), given what he has to work with.

+1. I wish Kubiak can be on the team somehow, but i would take tresman. Roman needs to go far away as possible.

That would be nice.

Sources starting to converge on Fangio? I'm just not convinced Ed Donatell is the man to take over at DC. But maybe with Fangio as HC the DC position is less concerning?

I want the best possible candidate. If thats Bowles, then I am down. If its Fangio, fine too but dont think he deserves the job just because he happens to be there, especially for a guy that has been pretty average outside of his time with the 49ers.

His time outside of SF is irrelevant now. He's proven to be a very good DC for 4 years straight in the NFL. I don't care if he sucked 10 years ago. People do learn and are capable of getting better at their jobs. I believe Fangio has proven that to be the case, especially after this past season when he had a bunch of backups playing to the tune of a top 5 unit all season long.

I, personally, want an offensive minded Head Coach, but not at the expense of losing Vic Fangio. If he's willing to stay with somebody else as coach, great. But if we're gonna lose him and the only way to keep him is to offer him the HC gig, I think we need to do it as long as he's able and willing to find a competent OC and allow that OC to run the offense the way that Harbaugh allowed him to run the defense. If it seems he's going to meddle in the offense as HC, then I would reconsider offering him the spot.

Can some one explain how our defense allowed the worst QB in the NFL (Ryan Lindley) to throw for 400 yards? I watched that Niner/Zona game and was dumbfounded at the ease in which Lindley picked apart the Niner defense. This is the same guy who could not throw for more than 70 yards total vs Carolina and couldnt break 100 vs the other teams but vs the Niners? 400 yards of passing offense.

Huh...? I thought the 49ers had the worst QB in the NFL... I was reading some very detailed analysis regarding his social accounts which, heh, has me questioning his ability to throw the rock... you know?

I believe Baalke is going with Fangio, he just wants to appease Jed, us fans, and of course the league (Rooney Rule) by showing that he is doing his due diligence in finding Harbaugh's replacement. It's all political BS... Fangio is both the safest and easiest choice, I just hope Fangio hires a good OC and QB coach that won't leave in a year, otherwise it's Nolan all over again.

Fangio to me has a lot of Zen, whatever the hell that means. I think he's the guy and I'm okay with Trestman as OC. At least we'd throw the f***ing ball a lot more to running backs.

Agree as well. Fangio's past defensive rankings don't matter to me. All that matters is how he's performed now, with our players. He's been outstanding and is really a perfect fit here. Wouldn't mind seeing him as the HC. He already has the utmost respect from his players. But the OC hire is going to be huge.

One reason of mine which I think that Fangio will not be a good HC.

The guy just doesn't like to use young players as much as possible..

I'm not so sure about that. Culliver, Lynch, Aldon, Johnson, and Reid all made big impacts when each was a rookie. Bowman became a starter under Fangio as a 2nd year player. Ward was the starting slot CB as a rookie. If you're part of the best 11, he will play you. Other young players sat on the bench because this defense was stacked. Hard to break into the lineup.

I would have loved to see more Carradine, but I can understand him not getting much playing time when you want Justin and McDonald playing most downs. RayMac is gone, and Cowboy might retire, so I expect to see a big year from Carradine next year. Dial too.
