But hey, I understand my response bothered you, so my apologies. I respectfully disagree with folks who have the opinion that we could do better than Kyle or that he should be fired. I acknowledge he isn't perfect, but no one else would be either.
No clue what he's even upset about…weird imo.
He was probably talking about me and not OTC.

Yea I'm really not that hype on Vrabel either. I wouldn't hate it or love it. He has credentials. And he does have Ohio State connection with Bosa and Chase. So that might have got the ball rolling in his favor.

If anyone was out of line it was Moon.

Has there been any reports about interviews? Kyle/Lynch run a really tight ship, so I doubt leaks get out.
like I've said before, I anticipate it'll be an internal hire (assuming they want the same system).

Sorry bro I know you meant no harm, you're like the stray that got caught in a crossfire.
ANYWAY!!!! Moving on.
My top 5 DC candidates (in no particular order):
Mike Vrabel
Rex Ryan
Bill Belichick
Pete Carroll
Ron Rivera
Brandon Staley would be cool and wouldn't be mad, but not in my top 5.

Do teams have to officially announce/report interviews? Or is that only for HC?

Probably watching film/doing research on their defenses then will make calls. I'm assuming.

Couple more names from Barrows
Chris Kiffin, Houston Texanslinebackers coach Kiffin checks two big boxes. He spent two seasons in San Francisco (2018 and 2019) and he coaches linebackers. He also advocated for one of the players he coached in college, Azeez Al-Shaair, as an undrafted free agent in 2019 (it turned out to be a steal) and worked with Kris Kocurek and the defensive line during his time in San Francisco. He spent 2023 helping Ryans run a similar defense in Houston.
Marquand Manuel, New York Jets safeties coach Manuel ran the Atlanta Falcons' defense from 2017 to 2018 and before that was a Falcons assistant at the same time Shanahan was in Atlanta. More than that, Manuel is a Carroll disciple who got his first coaching job with the Seahawks in 2012. He's spent the last three years coaching under another Carroll protege, Saleh, in New York.
Cory Undlin, Texans defensive passing game coordinator There are a lot of former 49ers defensive assistants scattered around the league. Undlin, who was in San Francisco in 2021 and 2022, stands out because he's also a former defensive coordinator — for the Detroit Lions in 2020. Other former 49ers assistants around the league include Jets linebackers coach Mike Rutenberg and Jets senior defensive assistant Tony Oden.

Like I said in the other thread, Pete Carrol is my number one. Don't think he'll be jumping to a HC gig anytime soon, so continuity will be a possibility. Despite his age, has the personality to be on the field. Tons of experience, including building one of the best defenses in our generation. Clear number one with regards to the previous HCs out there.

Damn, I just looked at the ages of the current 49ers' core. This team is getting f**king old. Kyle can't get cute with this hire. They need someone that can come in and take control of the defense from day 1 without Kyle having to look over their shoulder.
The window with this group ain't going to be open for much longer. They need to win now.

Manuel was a guy I was interested in when Saleh left. There's ties there with Shanny for sure.

At best - Belichick is a fantasy.
Sure, he'd do an Excellent job as DC!
BUT - IMO, he won't take a step down - his ego couldn't handle it.

Kiffin is another one I like a lot. He's been around a bit, was a defensive coordinator in college, was with the team for a few years, worked under DeMeco last season, if they are going to go with someone new, he might be the strongest option out there.

I don't think you're getting BB, so please get Pete. I think he would be an amazing hire for the 49ers' personnel / scheme. And 17+ weeks of his punchable face? Love it!
