My concern is, if we basically write Fangio off, and go with Shanahan or Gase, then our defense could fall off badly. Fangio could leave, on another mutual parting with the front office. They could try to make Donatell the new DC, but who knows how well that will pan out. We'll lose many more FA's over the coming years, and this team takes a heavy fall back to earth. I just don't think you need to hand to keys to someone outside the organization this time. Fangio is the guy who has the highest chance of righting the ship and keeping everyone on board. If you bring Shanahan in, you're pretty much kissing our defensive team good bye. This is just a thought.
Why would Fangio leave as DC? He is signed through 2015 (is one of the highest paid DC in the league) the players and FO love him and there has been ZERO interest for him as a HC besides in SF...
You think he would leave a talented defensive roster & not get paid as much money just to be a DC somewhere else?
