Any talk of Niners asking to interview Pep yet?

Nope.

Pep is getting no love

For good reason. That offense is Andrew Luck or nothing.

How could anyone say the 49ers isn't the best job right now, they're a Playoff ready team all they need is someone to point them in the direction. If I was the hottest head coaching candidate the 49ers would be my first choice.

Bears/Cutler - LMFAO

Falcons/Crap defense - LMFAO

Bills/QB Situation - LMFAO

Raiders/rebuilding team - LMFAO

Jets/QB Situation - LMFAO

49ers - QB check, RB check, WR's check, O-line well maybe 1 or 2 players will be needed otherwise all good no real problem, TE check, D-line could be a small problem but nothing Aldon Smith, Navaro Bowman and Patrick Willis can't help but counter that. Keep Vic Fangio at DC and you're set.

Agree from a personnel standpoint but I am really starting to believe the SF job is not as attractive because of what Jed and Trent did with Jim's exit. I feel there is hesitation from the "higher" ranked candidates as there is surely risk in taking the job. Yes, you may succeed in the W-L column, but as Jed stated, the next HC will have to basically win the SB. That is a hard pill to swallow for some egos. There wont be as much pressure with the other 5 openings in the short term. Could be like "man, Jed is going to fire me if we dont win the SB this year." That "fear" may put the brakes on some of these guys to be like "hmmmm, do i really wana deal with this ownership and try to top what Jim did?"

Just my two cents anyway. I hope they find the right guy soon but please take your time Trent!

49ers are gaining a rep of having a meddlesome ownership. No coach worth a s**t wants to deal with that.

If that were true, then they wouldn't be having as many interviews, why waste your time auditioning before a couple of balloonheads that you don't even want to work for for. I think the story is not nearly as one-sided as posters on here make it out to be and I think those around the league have a good idea of what went down and that Harbaugh isn't nearly as saintly in all of this as people around here seem to assume. I think that there were mistakes made all around but nothing egregious enough on the part of the ownership that it would scare candidates away from the opportunity to coach a playoff ready roster.

This.

Part of being a coach is having a "god complex" and feeling that you can fix whatever it was that the previous coach wasn't doing. I think these candidates are looking at this roster and salivating knowing that it's still, even after an off year, still close to regaining its top 3-5 team status in the entire NFL. Top 3-5 in the NFL makes you a legitimate contender giving the new coach a legitimate chance at early success. No other team that's looking for a coach has that. Not even close.

Just my take but I would interview with anyone that was looking at me as head coach, because that is the goal if you are a DC or OC. That doesn't mean I would except the job, it does make you look more marketable if you have multiple teams looking at you.

But I think we'll be far down on someones list, I'm sure Jim was joking last night with Kubiak about the Niners "brilliant" FO.

And I'm sure the truth is not nearly as one sided as you seem to think it is. It takes two to tango and I think people who have been around the industry won't be like "ooh, that poor Jim Harbaugh, they screwed him so badly right into his dream job at his alma mater, which was an amazing coincidence."

Here's another's opinion from the "other" 49ers message board:

First sentence: a myth. Everyone is replaceable.

Second sentence: I am sick and tired of Harbs being left off the hook for the chaos associated with his departure. The apologies for JH and all the blame being put on the FO are sickening. The blame is much more likely 50/50.

IMO, I tend to think it's more on JH. I think JHs failures with the team reflect negatively on JH. I think he wanted a way out and he played fans and the media like a fiddle, putting it all on the FO. This well orchestrated maneuver was like a well executed complicated play on the field.

I suspect he wanted a way out, and this is why he refused the contract extensions. Accusations by fans that the FO did not offer enough money have no basis in fact. The FO offered enough money to get JH in the first place. Nothing in the world indicates the FO offered too little money in the contract extensions. ] It simply fits fan stereotypes to blame the soft, born-multi-billionaire Jed York, and remove all blame from the hero-jock-HC Harbaugh. Shame on fans for being so gullible. (No blue, no sarcasm.)

JH knew how much easier would be his sledding in his alma matter, UM, he waited for that door to open, refusing the 9er contract extensions, and the rest is history.

Jed can not state the truth of the matter because he is legally prohibited from doing so. Jed's only mistake IMO is his efforts to justify the break up. He should simply state he is legally obligated by contract to maintain confidentiality.

Fans think because of the internet age that every thing is public domain. It's certainly not the case.

One dude's opinion.

I've had that same take myself. The more you dive into this the more one starts to think Harbaugh is a bit of a serpent here. And I find NO coincidence in his dream job magically opening up as he was parting ways with us. I think there is a lot more to HIS side that need to be explored. It's like media only NOW have started to consider poor offensive production as a viable link to philosophical differences. Hello. Most wives sitting next to you who know nothing about football could see the predictability in or offense and question what we were trying to accomplish. Hello!

Agree totally!

IMO, and none of us really know for sure, the Raiders offered him more loot and power than anyone else.

BUT Saint Harbaugh declined because the Raiders are in no way, shape of form a championship team. He would have been exposed.

Saint Jim the Villian came to Ninerland to have a Championship caliber team ready to take the next step.

To the JH apologists - Our offense SUCKED and that was all on JH and his inept coaching staff.

If you are going to keep giving Saint JH all the credit for a Niner turn-around then he has to assume ownership of worst offensive 3rd-4th quarters of football in Niner history!

How many 4th quarter TD's did we have?

How many big leads did we lose in the 2nd half?

Can't imagine Harbaugh had anything good to say about the Niners last night to Kubiak

Need some news! Has Roman left for Tampa yet?

Probably very true, I'm just worried that with Jed's Super Bowl or "Fail" talk has made us seem a little too "high maintenance"

No one will feel sorry for Jim because he was gonna land on his feet regardless. But it didn't take any grand scheme of his to end up on Michigan.

Everyone knew mich wanted harbaugh. All mich had to do was turn on ESPN or nfln to see any of our many leaks of turmoil from the time we tried to trade Jim to Cleveland last off season. Jim's fate with the 9ers was decided some time ago. By the time the season ended, the departure was just a formality.

So far teams interested in him are NY, Chicago and 49ers. Even if both Harbaughs bashed the 49ers. They are still the best chance Kubiak has to be a successful head coach. I mean he is 53 this could be his last chance at a HC job, he is going to the place he has the best chance to win at and as of right now that is not Chicago or NY.
