FYI being a head coach and DC are different jobs requiring different skills.

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.

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.

Lynch also played for his father Monte Kiffin.

Shananigans would only hire Staley so BS could throw underperforming players under the bus while not holding himself accountable when defense costs them a game, and so he could yell at Staley from the top of his lungs while bossing his skinny little ass around

Ikd don't you think we would have hired him instead of Wilks? Seems like just a big lunk coach like our DL coach but not as good. A Tomsula.

Bringing in Staley means a complete re-work of the current scheme for the front 7 players as they adopt new techniques, and the offball LBs have new way of reading the blocks in front of them. I don't think this is the way to ensure 2024 gets off to a good start.

While I think the Kyle chokes thing is played out and not true, this dude has a super choke-able neck. Talk about a pencil neck!

This is why I don't think it will be Staley. It would be almost a whole new makeover on defense.

"Staley was hired to produce an elite defense. He had done so in his lone season as an NFL coordinator, with the Los Angeles Rams in 2020. He failed to come close to that with the Chargers in three seasons...Staley is a brilliant schematic coach. He can develop a game plan on the whiteboard capable of stopping any offense. The only problem is the game is not played on a whiteboard...More often, the scheme and plans were too layered and complex for the players to grasp and execute consistently. Players detailed how Staley and his defensive staff would try to build in answers and rules for every minute facet of opposing offenses — every route, every motion. At times, players said, this bogged down the unit as a whole...Staley's inexperience was exposed in this stubborn commitment to a defensive vision that simply was not working. There was a disconnect between how some players wanted to play and how Staley wanted to play."
