New Head Coach Search Commences! Rumors and all else goes here!

Same as they would have said about McDaniels. I hope he's matured and learned from his mistakes. Just like McDaniels he's a fantastic offensive coordinator and playcaller. Can he be the leader for an entire roster and keep the ship together even when things get ugly as you might expect at times for a rebuilding team? Those are the traits that will define him as a great head coach.

I would go with K. Shanahan (SP) who hasn't shown the inabilities of McDaniels to this point. McDaniels has only been successful with one team, in one role, with one QB. He has failed everywhere else.

Which Kyle Shanahan, this one?

Conversations with several people within the organization have revealed a similar perception of Kyle Shanahan as someone who was empowered and enabled by his father, spending an abundance of time in his father's office, given a wide swath of power, and rubbing many people -- players, fellow coaches and members of football operations -- the wrong way. At the same time, Kyle Shanahan has been the most heavily rewarded of the team's assistant coaches, as team sources said the two-year extension Shanahan earned following the playoff run in 2012 will pay him $1.5M in 2014 alone. That's money he's almost certain to collect away from the team, with this regime widely expected to be fired after this season.

"Kyle is the head coach, it's just that no one knows he is," said one member of the organization. "He gets whatever he wants. And he has no relationship at all with (quarterback Robert Griffin II). So how could it work?"

As a former member of the organization put it: "Kyle b***hes about everything, and then his father has to fix it. He b***hes about the food in the cafeteria, he b***hes about the field, he b***hes about the equipment. He complains and then Mike takes care of it. Kyle is a big problem there. He is not well liked."


Several members of the organization said Kyle Shanahan was a cause of internal strife, surrounding himself with young coaches with inferior experience, and allowing for no checks and balances of outside voices in the offensive coaching rooms.

I remember this about him before we hired Tomsula, hope he goes to Denver.......This guy is the coaching version of Jed.

All unconfirmed sources?

Right because people with careers are going to attach their names to these things. The complaints sound fairly typical for a young coach that still has work to do on their maturity and communication skills. McDaniels has already had the experience of having flopped and having necessarily had to reassess himself and address his particular flaws.

You mean like Jed and co did Jim Harbaugh, Kap, Tomsula, Baalke, and Chip with all of the unconfirmed source leaks from the organization that turned out to be untrue?

Such as the "mutual parting of ways"

Plenty of times these unknown sources are also dead on the money. I don't have any reason to distrust the report on Shanahan considering the level of detail it encompasses. I'm sure he was just as big of a tool as McDaniels at 32.

I wonder what people will say once Shanahan, is the coach?

A lot of McDaniels supporters are still massively butt hurt. They just can't handle the fact that we have decided to go with the BEST candidate in Kyle Shanahan as opposed to a failed ex-HC.

Don't worry, they will calm their sh*t down in due course. Once Kyle gets the team sorted out and start winning, they will have no choice but to get in line.

I have to give the Yorks credit. it's awesome they landed the top HC candidate in Shanahan and likely a good GM as well. Now hopefully a good DC and a new QB and there will be hope again.
Also, finally we get our identity back with the WCO

Yep, I hope the QB issue gets resolved, soon.

I was one of the mcd supporters and wasn't a fan of kyle, mainly because of the issues in Washington, but the more I hear, the more convinced I was that he was the guy for us. Everyone knows he has his Xs and Os figured out, its the matter of being the leader of the team and commanding respect.

At the very least I hope he is provided the time to find and groom that QB who is the heir apparent to Steve Young. Which will mean accepting that we will or could be a bad team for a couple of more years. I'm okay with that as long as the talent on the roster improves in concert. No HC looks good without a good QB, ideally a FQB.

All I will say is this, I know people have flagged up Kyle's issues in Cleveland and Washington, but you know what? As far as I am concerned those issues were almost microscopic once you compare that to how McDaniels had managed to totally fxxk the Broncos upside down.

As for the question mark on his leadership quality, I am sure he has matured and improved in the area. All you have to do is look at how he had managed to resolve the issues with Matt Ryan. The guy flew all the way out to Southern California in the offseason where Matt was training. They met up and talked through things over a couple of beers and as such things have been all cool since. I see that as a perfect example of Kyle's maturation.

The search is over

Waiting for Shanahan to sign on the dotted line, first.

Yeah you probably shouldn't be running your mouth about anyone massively being butt hurt after you flipped your lid over the 49ers not giving up the farm for Jared Goff in the draft and then rage quitting the forum. Just a thought.

Just give it up. Just take a deep breath. Just let him go. Is only going to be bad for your health. People can die from a broken heart. I am just concerned about your well being that's all.

I'm the one that needs to take a deep breath, you sure?

Fxxking sad. Well, one thing for sure, will be watching a hell of a lot of Rams games from now on. The dude will be starting as well, can't wait to see how he adapts right away. It won't be easy, but if he could play behind that Cal O-line for so long, I think he will be alright. This kid has a tonne of gumption, he will stand tall in the pockt everytime to deliver the ball even knowing full well he will get hit. His red zone throws are going to be insane. Definitely something to look forward to in the coming season.

Jared Goff will be more than OK. Next year, they will need to draft some decent WRs. By then Gurley will be firing all cylinders. The Rams offense will be much improved. The beauty of Goff is he gets the ball out so incredibly quick and as they say that is the best counter for all pass rush.

Go and watch some film on Goff, he has been operating pretty much all his plays with next to no pass protection from his line. The kid is going to be prepared for the NFL level. He is intelligent and has a photographic memory as shown in Gruden's QB Camp, he can be easily coached. Even if Fisher sucks, he will make Fisher look good.

Goff f**king sucks.

Phoenix just doesn't want Shanny to end up the Jared Goff of head coaches is all. Mediocrity as a ceiling is problematic.
