Who will be the Niners new DC?-Rooney Rule Now Applicable

Is Pete really going to coach long enough to get another shot at a HC gig? I doubt it. Come spend your last two to three years (max) coaching Defense for the team you came up the ranks with back in the day, Pete. Full circle.

The problem with Pete's defenses is that they've been figured out. Doesn't seem like Kyle has had any particular issues carving it up, therefore half the league running our system wouldn't either. With that said, Carroll has shown that if he has the star power he can maximize their efficiency. And we do have the star power at every layer on our defense.

Wouldn't rank him top choice, but I won't be mad if he gets the gig…

I can see that. I would like someone that can bring a fresh approach without having to remake the entire defense. Nothing wrong with the wide 9 but subtle changes and additions can make it better. You don't need radical changes. Disguising blitzes better would be a start. It seems like when the Niners blitz they aren't that effective which tells me the other team can see it coming.

Praising McVay for hiring Wade Phillips?

That's like saying "wow amazing he chose treasure over trash! What an amazing gutsy choice!"

Honestly I'd take Staley over Wilks and that just might be the case. Not that I'm advocating for it, my guy is Vrabel, but why don't you want Staley? People can look to LAC and how he ran that place, but Staley wouldn't be in charge in SF. So what's to worry??

At least he would be aggressive and not just sit back in a soft zone or call obvious blitzes at weird times.

If its common sense to run do you not think KC knew that too and thats why they stacked the box? Common sense sounds like ole Jimmy Raye's offsense. Run, Run, & then a draw out of shotgun. That'll confuse them!!!

Wasn't it a laser gun
Jimmy Raye's offense was largely influence by Mike Singletary.

Ridiculous at best

Run the ball! I want you to run the ball.

The problem with Pete's defenses is they lost a ton of personnel. Give a really good coordinator this team's defense, and we should be elite. That was the biggest complaint of Wilkes, that he didn't know how to maximize this our potential. I suspect whoever is the hire will be more capable of adapting to this team's strengths.

Um I didn't say he should take his time. If you're gonna talk s**t at least get it rights.

After going through what he did and wasting a season with a DC that didn't fit in with your plans, wouldn't you take your time?
You did`nt say that ...ok

Lol, boy your something else. Wouldn't you take your time and saying he SHOULD is two totally different things, but I guess not in your book.

If we hire an internal candidate after all this time, it'll be a bad look for the organization

Not really… but people are going to see what they want to see regardless.

After all this wait, Kyle announces it was an internal hire. This speaks volumes. It pretty much means that's everyone they looked into from the outside did not show interest. Yea it's definitely a bad look.

It'll absolutely look like they had to settle whether that's the case or not.
