On Sunday, Cable became the last known candidate to interview for the San Francisco 49ers' head coach vacancy. "If that seems like an odd choice, it's actually not," Ian Rapoport of NFL Media said of the decision to interview Cable. "Marshawn Lynch, this is the guy that Beast Mode swears by. This is the one that many Seahawks players consider to be the real leader on the team. He is the one that stands up and talks to the offense. The Niners will consider him pretty strongly."
"It's kind of the label that I've had to live with and once the media got it and ran with it, you really can't protect yourself then," Cable said in 2010.
Cable has attempted to deny the severity of the allegations. "On only one occasion in my life have I ever touched a woman inappropriately," Cable once told ESPN. "I became very angry and slapped [my first wife Sandy] with an open hand. What I did was wrong and I have regretted and felt sorrow about that moment ever since."
Cable insists that he is a changed man, drawing inspiration from his current wife and one of his sons. His wife Carol runs a hospice center and sees tragedy on a daily basis. His son Alex, who dealt with drug and alcohol addiction, now assists others in need.
Cable has tried to reinvent himself and that's something the 49ers are attempting to do following the firings of their general manager and head coach. No one doubts Cable's reputation on the football field among his players. With options like offensive coordinators Josh McDaniels and Kyle Shanahan, one has to wonder if Cable and his reputation off the field might be too much for the 49ers to take on.
