49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

Is stuff like this that has made me lose a lot of interest in the nfl. Would've never happened to KC

This rule is so stupid. If you already know who you want why should you have to interview others? It's just a waste of time.

The rule is bs. If you are black, white, pink, yellow if you are good and fit within the team personality wise etc etc you will get the job if you are deemed the best. Teams may have different opinions what that means so the hire may vary but time to bury this.

Who the hell is going to interview when they know not available. Just grab a couple of dudes even janitor within the organization to interview. Buy them a nice dinner for family. and move on.

there was a time where it didn't matter if you were great at being a coach. You were going to be black listed.

maybe now, the rule is probably outdated but, i'm not in that circle of owners to say fro sure.

I mean… is there any possible consequence like loss of draft picks? Or is the consequence simply "no, you can't hire him yet. Conduct interviews first"?

That's what's kind of silly. Though at the same time, maybe they look at guys they're interested in other offensive staffing roles for the future and bring them in to see what they have to offer. I have a feeling Kubiak could get picked up by someone eventually.

I love how everyone blames the NFL before blaming the idiot for not knowing the rules or taking them serious.

It was simple... Kyle should have just shut his mouth, said he will interview candidates for the OC position. Then choose Klay. THAT f**kING SIMPLE!

Now with Kyle, again being horrible at knowning rules or paying attention to details..being unprepared, puts Klay and the team in a weird position (like he did to poor Jordan Mason with the press) that if he does do interviews... and picks Klay, the running theme would be that Kyle never took those other interviews serious.

The solution to this is still simple... request interviews to coaches you know will accept this circus situation, then announce Klay as the OC. Do NOT request interviews with coaches who have any pride, who looking for OC positions. To where you're the laughing stock because everyone knows what is going on, and those types of coaches will decline the interview..and the media will make a story out of it (since you soft fans care what the media thinks or how our players treat them).

Interview some young assistants that are looking to get a position to gain experience as a pass game coordinator (Klay's previous position). The interview would be beneficial for them.. they don't get OC title.. but can also apply for the other position and get hired there (be it after another interview, if needed).

its not that serious lol

Despite 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan saying this week he would name Klay Kubiak the offensive coordinator, NFL rules do not permit that. Source tells @NFLonCBS the team will do an open search for their OC position.

Doesn't know OT rules.
Doesn't know coaching rules.
Doesn't know how to manage games.

He's just a clown at this point…

So, as long as Kubiak wasn't officially promoted it's not a big deal. However, if he would have promoted him without doing the required minority interview, it would've been a big deal and at least a loss of a draft pick.

I'm sure he knows the rule, he probably just misspoke. He can be awkward in those pressers and public speaking
