just google his name, the results are underwhelming to say the least

more importantly, Foerster was our OL coach for a couple years during the heyday of Rachal/Snyder

Shoot me now this just keeps getting worse
Tarver had the Raider's defense go from 29th to 18th in his first season in 2012.

Would be quite thrilled if they hired Jim Schwartz. Would still be fine with Tarver as DC.

Can you explain the support for Tarver not being sarcastic, the was the f'n raiders' DC & basically suck'd. How would going from Fangio to Tarver br a good thing. Why not keep Dontell( whatever his name is), he was a DC before, I'm pretty sure he could have picked up where Fangio left off, wtf!
Matt Maiocco ‏@MaioccoCSN 45s45 seconds agoThose who are citing stats from Raiders with Jason Tarver as DC, rest assured. He would not be bringing those players with him.
No offense but that quote does help. Can he or is he known for being a good DC like Fangio or atleast(!) in the ballpark. That's what I wanna know. Our D has been the main reason we've been as good as we have, take that away & I bet it's like we never left the dark ages(for the most part).
Don't know. Have to see how the defense does with almost the same players as Vic had.
Foerster has been around for awhile, was a long time coach for the Bucs as well as being on Denny Green's staff at Stanford.
Who's better, Mike Solari or Chris Foerster

I know Shanahan hired him away from the 49ers to run his zone blocking scheme when he got to Washington.
Sounds amazing...

I know there's frustration because the Redskins haven't developed any young linemen into starters. You work with what you have: When Joe Bugel returned for Act II, he failed to do this as well. But I never just blame coaching; sometimes players develop but still aren't good enough. Tom Compton, for example, has developed. He just might not be good enough. Still, of the eight linemen drafted by the Redskins since 2010, only Trent Williamshas been a full-time starter. Compton became one midway through this past season, his fourth, but he struggled in protection and there's no guarantee he'll start next season. Five of the eight linemen were drafted in the fifth round or later (and four in the sixth or seventh rounds).

The current line has four starters who once were drafted within the first four rounds -- Williams (first), Chris Chester (second), Shawn Lauvao (third) and Kory Lichtensteiger(fourth). So it's not as if they lack players once considered talented. Compton was a sixth-round choice. They selected two third-rounders last spring in guard Spencer Long and tackle Morgan Moses. It's too early to say what direction their careers will take.

I've never considered Foerster a bad line coach by any means. I know about the sacks. That's more than just the line play and Foerster's had a big say in the run game, which was excellent the previous two seasons. But I do remember when he was hired several people saying he was just "OK," and an executive with a team that once employed Foerster said he would let him leave.

Foerster has coached multiple blocking schemes, but is viewed as adept in the zone blocking system.

With Bill Callahan installed as #Redskins OL coach, I'm told Chris Foerster, the former Skins OL coach, is headed to the #49ers.

Awesome. Pulling fired coaches from the Raiders and Redskins. Joy.

NC, you were being level headed before, why stop now?

To be fair, Fangio wasn't really known for being a good DC before he came to the 49ers. He was the playcaller for some awful defenses.
