The 49ers 2015 Coaching Search Thread(All Rumors and News Here)

Why are they interested in Shanahan? He's no spring chicken either.

Given the choice between Shanahan and Holmgren, I would go with Holmgren.

Why would the FO close the door on Holmgren like that? Not even offer him a courtesy interview. But they're okay with giving one to Foot Fetish.

The hubris and general arrogance of this front office is comically over the top.

Your response to anything the front office does or says is comically over the top but I've made peace with it.


Holmgren is way past ripe, struggling with his impending retirement and not being able to coach anymore.

Holmgren said the one job he may have been interested in was the 49ers coaching job, but they were not interested.

smh

Do you understand why that behavior is construed as arrogant? They didn't even give him an interview.

This. People say the darndest things. 49ers got beat by the Giants 49-3 in the playoffs back in 1986......"well, Walsh is garbage, can't coach anymore"

Not gonna happen. People like BW come once in a life time. The best thing to do is to bring back the system that brought us 5 SBs and that's BW's WCO. MH offers the closest offensive philosophy to that system.

Why is that the best thing to do ?

So based on your assumption then Eddie should have never hired BW, cause he was old and out of times.

Bill Walsh was 48 when the 49ers hired him, Holmgren will be 67 by the start of next season. Are you serious or just trolling?

I am very serious. Yorks haven't proven sh** with their hires so far, The one hire that actually did win for them was fired last week. What gives you any confidence that they are going to hire the right guy again.

Should they offer up an interview to every old guy out there past his prime? I'm sure Marty Schottenheimer and Seifert have a little left in the tank, interview them too.

We've been doing 4 to 6 hour interviews. If we ain't seriously considering him why bother? I like Mike but maybe they figure he is too old right now

Because using the "Yorks" discredits everything else you wrote after that.

Right because teams ALWAYS hire guys in their late 60's who have been out of coaching for the better part of a decade.

Ya... because you know your program is in GREAT shape when you drag out the mothball fleet of coaches. Guy's the 49ers HC position is the BEST of what's available and in many cases, unavailable.

You don't hand this team to a guy that is going to need a year (at least) to get things going again.


As opposed to Gase and McDaniels, who would instantly take us to the SB ? Because they "coach" players like Manning and Brady ? Don't get the hype behind those guys -- without their respective QBs, they wouldn't even be candidates...

One thing is for sure that Yorks have no plan place. You would think that they have been looking to fire Harbaugh since the beginning of the off season that at least they would have a plan in place.

Shanahan is 5 years younger than Holmgren. They interviewed him.

LOL, right if they only interviewed like one or two candidates, they'd be getting criticized for not casting a wide enough net. They are interviewing all the top candidates out there and people are still whining about it. Heck they're getting criticized for not interviewing people eligible for social security.

A respected Superbowl winning coach comes out and says he's interested exclusively in the job? Uhm...yeah, you give that guy an interview.

Why does Rex Foot Fetish get an interview over the Walrus?
