Hearing #49ers were interested in bringing Vic Fangio back to Bay Area as DC, but he's under contract in Chicago and Bears blocked move.

Would have been a nice move if we could have brought him back

You know the senior bowel is in a week? They need a GM in here asap to get started on prep. They are hoping to have Shanahan give his input next week. You can't waste a draft waiting around for something stupid like that. Mike Nolan was here and he was the alpha, look how that turned out. lol

Boy, a Senior bowel. Has it really come to this ?

People go to the Senior bowl with or without jobs so it doesn't really stop anyone from scouting. If Shanahan is still preparing for the SB he won't be much use anyway. Gutekunst and Gamble will likely be there to scout.

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

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 hope that this would be remembered in the bad times, not just the good. Becasue we are going to see some bad, just has to happen, as in building anything. Our fan base can be hyperactive at times, and want instant gratification....yesterday. We just have to stick with him, let him make mistakes, and with luck, he will then correct them. But mistakes get made, it is just part of the process. Patience is a virtue, and we all need to keep that in mind. We've made our mistakes with the last 4 hires. It is time now to settle down, we got a great playcaller, and hopefully he has guys around him + a great GM to help him over the bumps in the road. Firing a guy wiht his talent....this franchise just cannot do that. So we made 4 bad hires? Fine. Get on down the road. We have to hope he is as good a HC as he has been OC. Having a HC who is also your OC is what was needed. Now, we just need to get him signed. Frankly, I hope Atlanta wins it all. That will make the waiting all that much better/sweeter/

Is this a reference to Jim Tomsula?

Pagano has been walking on eggshells with that team for 3 years lol. I don't know how he's survived this long.

After Manning and Polian, the Colts have turned into a s**tshow. Only reason why they've been decent is luck.....Andrew Luck. Appropriately named, because without that good fortune they'd be down here with the 49ers and Browns.

Anyone afraid they could go after Kyle?

Looks Like the Colts are now in the market for a New GM.....the plot thickens, Oops I should'a put this in the GM thread...oh well.

Whoops sorry. Confused this thread with the GM thread.

No. They could have dumped Pagano weeks ago and jumped into the HC race immediately if they wanted Shanahan that badly. Waiting until now to make the move wouldn't make much sense.

There's just that funny feeling in most people's minds that Kyle will tell us to hold up because he's interested in coaching Luck. I know it's not the most-likely scenario but I can't blame people for being worried. The longer we wait, the more time there is for people to think about things and panic more.
