Oh and right across the rumor mill...Kyle Shanahan turned down an interview with the 49ers for OC...because his dad is very interested in the position.

Can't believe the older one would effectively "step down" in rank to be just an OC.
Totally undecided as to whether it would be a good/bad thing for the team if he did....

So the Giants sign free Agent Norichika Aoki to a 1 year deal.

hmm. is that the answer? hmmm...

Just a guy to be their 4th OF since they're probably going with Pence, Blanco, and Pagan.

 

[Chairman Mallard]

Aoki is probably an upgrade on Blanco

from what i was reading they say they are going to put him left.

so we shall see.

Well he isn't getting any bites to be an HC and isn't getting any younger. I think it would be a good move.

It depends on Pagan's status but even if he's healthy, having the ability to swap in and out three guys like Pagan, Blanco, and Aoki is a good thing even if they're not power hitters. There are going to be injuries and slumps and the quality drop isn't much regardless of which order you put them in.

Aoki's ok, but just another singles hitter to add to this team. Which isn't so bad, because big power guys see their numbers drop off at AT&T Park. Aoki was dismal in the WS, but if he goes with the Giants, he won't have to face MadBum.

I also think that since Tomsula is not only a (pretty much, except for that one game) new head coach in the NFL and used to coach the defensive side of things, Shanahan would fundamentally be a co-head coach despite having the title of an OC. Shanahan may be interested in that offer.

Lane Kiffin?

Oh **** off York.

 

[Negatively Positive]

Ugh. Seahawks are gonna repeat. I had a feeling they would come back. The Packers let them hang around and they're clutch as ****.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Sorry, 49ers fans...

 

[Swervin81]

As a Lion fan, seeing the Packers choke like that warms my heart. Only thing that would warm my heart more is a Bears chokejob. Definitely some consolation after the gutwrenching Raptor game I attended

You're a Lions fan and a Leafs/Sharks fan? I'm so sorry.

 

[CrazedZooChimp]

That might actually cause me to stop being a 49ers fan. It's gotta be a joke, right?

 

[Levie]

Welp.. Guess I'm a patriots fan for the superbowl. That sucks.

 

[weastern bias]

The Superbowl sucks this year

 

[tahoesharksfan]

The only thing worse than this year's SB is the thought that we might have anything to do with Kiffin. Man has this thread got depressing...

 

[Chairman Mallard]

It's my nightmare. Screw that guy.

Discount Double Choke...lol.

(from a Vikings Fan....yes my fandom is a bottomless pit of pain)

 

[Grave]

Good thing Katy Perry is performing or I'd have no reason to watch.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

The Superbowl sucks this year

Yeah it kind of does. I'll still watch but I might start the day by going to see a movie and don't care if I miss some of the game.

As for the Kiffin thing, I'm willing to give Tomsula a chance and found a lot of the Media to be really unprofessional last week but with the Kiffin hiring, that is god awful.

 

[Swervin81]

You're a Lions fan and a Leafs/Sharks fan? I'm so sorry.

I'm also a Blue Jays fan, and they hold the longest active playoff drought in all of pro sports at 21 years. Hardened masochism

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Kiffin is an ass but his offensive acumen and creativity and play calling is legit. Besides you have to think outside the box. There isn't a lot out there. Rob Chudzinski is the only other real option.
