Yep.
3 more weeks is not going to be an issue long term if the candidate worked out in the end. It's gonna do wonders for the mentality of a lot of people on this thread though!!

We have our GM with personnel power anyway, so that's all that really matters at this time of year. Whoever comes in as HC is gonna have to deal with his roster decisions anyway.

I am pretty sure one way or the other we will find out within today. York and Baalke may even try to force a decision cos they know if Gase says no they will need to scramble fast.

The issue is with either Josh McDaniels or Dan Quinn, they may well have to wait 3 more weeks, not to mention there will be competition too.

That leaves Shanahan or from within.

Like I said, I will be happy to take Mike Shanahan as HC, thus hopefully keeping Fangio as DC and Kyle Shanahan can come in as OC.

I believe there was a report that McDaniels may decide to stay put in NE, thought I saw that at least.

I kind of heard that as well, but I can't remember the source. If that is indeed the case, if you discount Shanahan, Dan Quinn is the only guy in demand left and he has been strongly linked to the Falcons.

Well, by process of elimination it is quite possible we may well end up with Mike Shanahan should Gase want to stick with the Broncos.

True. But then you have to weigh him against the experience of Shanahan, proven coordinators like Gase, McDaniels and Fangio, etc. Just something to think about for perspective. There was ONE candidate back then and everyone wants him. Now, we can go any number of ways.

It's a great question. My deal is I'm a huge shanahan guy. I think if Harbs was available with the current canidates my short list would be in no particular order shanny (experience offensive mastermind), Harbs (successful college with pro scheme) and Gase (young up and coming offensive wiz).

Mike Shanahan

Adam Gase

Vic Fangio

Josh McDaniels

Jim Harbaugh

Dan Quinn

Todd Bowles

Teryl Austin

Rex Ryan

I rarely see a college HC translate and have staying power in the NFL, hence the ranking.

Those rankings are a joke. Every NFL team would take Harbaugh above all those. Except the 49ers.

Then why didn't they when we let him go? I swear you guys seriously overrate Jim, did last year not make it clear to you that he has serious issues? He failed to adjust the offense and failed to straighten out his clock management issues. He was outcoached on several occasions. The guy is not ready to be an NFL coach, and until, or unless he can reign in his ego, he never will be. He belongs in the NCAA, where his act will fly.

Fangio and/or Tomsula is still there as well. With some some recent posts showing Tomsula's experience, its not far fetched to think he could get the job as well.
Bowles - Cross him off!

Yeah, Quinn has let it be known that he wants the Falcons job.

If gaze sign with the Broncos, any possibility the 49ers will go after pep? What is their plan B.

You don't know Gase is our plan A. It's all speculation still. A second interview could be to rule a candidate out, or to at least get further answers on earlier questions.

I think their plan B is Shanahan, Fangio or Tomsula.
The coaching search is way more entertaining than the offense has been.

I agree. I just have this feeling that Gase is leaning towards taking over in Denver.

If that happens, the coaching search is just backfiring on trent
