Who will be the next 49ers Defensive Coordinator?

I'm starting to get a feeling that the 49ers will let Kocurek walk because I'm not sure I see base wide 9 in any of those DCs futures.

I don't either. It'll be very interesting to see what happens if it's Fangio.

Feels like it was setup to be Fangio all along. I'm sure he and Shanahan have had several discussions on philosophy and every aspect of how he'd call this defense.

This week is going to get interesting. Got to respect what Wilks did with the Panthers when he took over. Still think I want Fangio but the players sure played hard for Wilks.

What type of D does Wilks favor? I'd like a DC to continue with the wide scheme

Aggressive 4-3 scheme, extremely zone heavy.

Would seem odd if they are #1 D in football and look outside the bldg. Not like you couldn't see Ryans moving on coming from a mile away. Next man up.

And who might that be? Reports I've heard have said they might not have that guy in the building just yet…also get ready for another purge, Ryans is gonna take some dudes with him like every other coach has

Well Ryans can only name 1 DC in HOU.. and keeping your house in the Bay Area to be 49ers DC may be a better move so whoever he tabs will have a choice if we offer them DC also.. I'd be surprised if they didn't groom a next man up.. like Ryans was to Saleh. They knew this day was coming.

In any event great moment here for 49ers and Ryans. KS tree grows. Ryans a happy moment for him and his family. He was drafted into this league by HOU wore the uniform.

If they're interviewing this many people from outside the building then its not going to be an internal hire.

Agree. Congrats to Ryan's on his new HC job

"We are a 4-3 base. We are very multiple in what we are doing. I think you have to be in this day in age with all of the different things you are seeing. It can change week to week. I am aggressive by nature, but it is all about trying to put your guys into the best position to be successful. It could change. Quarterback is getting the ball out quick, therefore now you have to be more creative in your coverages and things that you are doing on the back end because you are not going to get there. It is all about trying to create negative plays on first and second down so you can get exotic in some of your third down pressures and things you want to do," Wilks said.

Pretty cool landing spot in that they have a young group, some legit young DBs, #2 overall pick I believe, could take a transformational QB there. Should have a long leash also. 2-4 year type rebuild.

I think he can adapt. I'm sure he knows lots of different schemes.

Sounds good to me.
