Lynch said by the end of the week. Today we probably hear something

When did he say this?

Shanahan on Monday said he expects to have it wrapped up by the end of the week, not Lynch.

They are suppose to talk to one more outsider correct? Merrit is one, who will be the other?

There was a rumor from one of those iffy Twitter accounts saying we were talking to Marquand Manuel from the Jets. No idea how legit that is.

Personally I'm hoping for Merritt (assuming there are no other hidden candidates). And his talk show segment isn't a minus for me.

By all accounts he'd be a very good hire.

Absolutely. Enough of the Shanny boot lickers. How about someone that will think for themselves and hold players accountable…

My god, it's looking like Staley and Sorenson are thee two best choices out there, judging from what they're bringing in or rumored to be bringing in. What is it with all these DB coaches, where's the LB and D-line coaches at, Chris Kiffin and Brendan Daly. Both have coached LB and DL and I thought that's what the 49ers wanted, better communication with Warner and the LB's?

Da f**k you talking about? My god your comments are the worst.

what you don't think kyle had Kittle running any routes? Get open Kittle. Brock read the defense properly. This isn't Madden.

jesus man quit trying so hard with the I hate kyle s**t…it's f**king embarrassing.

So, you are saying it's Kittle's fault, not Kyle's?

I never understand why our fans are so quick to blame the Kyle or the players when the offense struggles. They never want to give the opposing defense any credit. Fans forget that all these players are good enough to be in the NFL. They get paid to do a job whether it's on offense of defense. Sometimes one side performs better than the other. Sometimes it's just about matchups. This constant blame game gets really old.

Sometimes the truth hurts, but he didn't come across as a coordinator level mind when I read that. I like his story, but youd think after 20 years he paid attention to more than just his DB's and I wonder if he has that kind of mind etc. Some guys like Merritt or Kocurek are best fit managing a unit.

Well, this guy (Merritt) is out at DC.

You all do realize this was a casual talk show that took place at least a week before the interview, right? Why would his comments on a casual talk show from 7+ days ago suddenly take him out of the running?

I swear you all just let journalists and the media control your thoughts. Just because they found an interesting old talk show segment that anyone could've looked up doesn't mean it's suddenly news/relevant

Casual talk show or serious press conference, I don't even think his comments are that big of a deal. So he's brutally honest about our offensive performance and pointed out that Wilks' firing had something to do with the season as a whole. We've known that for awhile now. If anything the only "red flag" is he didn't know how to pronounce Aiyuk's name. But when you dig deep and study X's and O's so intensely, it's not out of this world to think he knows our players more by their numbers than names.

According to @DMRussini, 49ers "flirted with" Steve Spagnuolo for their DC role after the Super Bowl, before Chiefs signed him to extension.

I think it is possible to get that with a guy with a DB background, provided they express an emphasis for it , and display a better plan for the front seven than Wilks did.

Why would Spagnuolo leave KC, where he's a hero, to move laterally to SF?

Dianna Russini said that SF was flirting with the idea of bringing in Spags before he signed that extension…short lived idea BUT makes you think they're willing to go get a KC defensive minded guy

He was a FA for a hot sec. They let him play out his contract before giving him an extension
