I like Shanny and Kubiak a lot, but I'm still in favor of going back to Holmgren.. he's more part of the tree trunk of Bill Walsh roots....

Holmgren is about to turn 67, has been out of football for awhile. A lot of the assistants he depended on throughout the years are out of football now or have one foot out the door. As good of a coach as he was, at this point I think its better to find a more long term solution.

Can someone explain to me what Mike Shanahan has accomplished without a hall of fame qb in John Elway and Steve young?

He ruined RG3's knee.

Correct. I know he's not the sexiest name out there but I think he makes the most sense for us right now. York said he wants a teacher for Kap and the offense overall (obviously) needs direction.

Speaking to that, who's better qualified than Kubiak?

He did not say teacher for Kap...he said teacher in general. Someone who can teach players and even teach coaches.

Mike was a good coach but he been living off those Superbowl wins for a long time.

I think he's another example of good head coach, bad GM.

Which is why Kubiak makes the most sense out of Shanahan, Holmgren, and Kubiak.

Kubiak should be the hire. Shanahan #2.
Why isn't Kubiak in the poll?

Only candidates that the 49ers have interviewed or are planning on interviewing......minus Tomsula who got little support in a previous poll. It was reported today that the 49ers are interested in Kubiak but he won't interview with anyone until the Ravens are out of the playoffs.

This exactly right. He thought he could coach up any qb (which he did quite a bit), and that led to not getting that top notch guy. Aside from the 6-10 season in 1999, he was usually any where from 8-8 to a peak of 13-3 until the final year in Denver. Imagine if he bottomed out in one of those year and was able to land a rivers, Eli or Big Ben. Facts are he got pretty good production out of griese, Plummer and cutler. You could argue none of those guys played as good with out Mike as coach.
