Signing(s): Kyle Shanahan the new 49ers HC

[Hasbro]

It'll be similar to 2005 when they hired Nolan and McCloughan. He gave Nolan 5 years. Hopefully the results are better.

Nolan was by far the more talented of the 2009 tandem, if that give you any yard stick.

Well because McCloughan was deep in the bottle then.

Nolan was McDaniels DC in '09 and the reason the Broncos were in position to pull out those fluke wins in the 6 game win streak. They had a sideline confrontation in the loss at Indy latter that year that caused them to mutually part ways at the end of the season (to hilarious mealy mouthing about it as well).

Thought you meant Scot. My bad.

I thought he was pretty overrated prior to going to the Falcons but he has done a very good job with them. It'll be interesting to see how does with a team that currently has almost zero offensive talent. For his sake hopefully York will be patient for once so they can build it up.



That's Hasbro's website.

Realistically York shouldn't even be running the team, but I guess when you parents don't care about their football team.....

Shanahan has done a good job of separating himself from his dad. In WSH he was dogged by all the "got the job cause his dads running the show" comments but this year he really proved himself.

49ers need to get rid of that dumb qb, always said he was overrated and as usual i was right

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The qb that actually had a decent statistical year with no talent around him??

It was difficult to evaluate Kaepernick this year...as a suffering Niners fan, I watched every single game this year.

And Kap really had very little to work with, the Niners are extremely thin on talent at the skill positions beyond Carlos Hyde and he's either always banged up or easily shut down as the only viable threat on offense.

There were some good things from Kap this year, but overall, the same thing that have plagued him when the team was actually good (accuracy, pocket presence, touch, etc) still plague him today.

Perhaps if he had an offense that was more tailored to his skillset things would be different, but I personally think that he's maxed out as an NFL QB. He just can't make the right decisions or throws when he's in the pocket and for me, that's a sign that you're not a starting caliber QB on a team that has any aspirations.

Misleading title. Though the 9ers want Shanahan, I'm not so sure it's mutual.

OK...saw this in the ESPN article this morning (though it doesn't site a quote or any source).

Shanahan is interested in the job but is currently focused on Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Good hire for 49ers

Nice young offensive coach to come in and rebuild organization

 

[sigma six]

You guys sure you don't want Tom Cable? Guys?

From Schefter.......

Former Washington offensive coordinator and current Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is set to become the San Francisco 49ers' head coach after Atlanta's season ends. San Francisco needs a quarterback as much as any other team in the league. If Cousins is available, the 49ers would pursue him as hard as they've pursued Shanahan.

Even if Washington tags Cousins, San Francisco could attempt to pry him loose in a trade with a package that could include this year's No. 2 overall draft pick. And if Washington doesn't want to deal now, it could have issues later.

Oh boy. Could you imagine trading the 2nd overall pick for Cousins and then giving him $20m+/yr?

The second coming of Jeff Garcia?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Garcia was good player in his prime. I don't think 49er fans should have problem if they get a QB of his caliber in coming years

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Have no problem getting Cousins, but it would have to be for next years first.

 

[Hasbro]

And the Niners can always trade him to the Chiefs down the road.

It would great GMing and scouting by WASH, turn a 6th round pick into a 2nd overall pick. It'd be tough for them to lose their franchise QB but thats a pretty tempting offer.

Worst kept secret the last two weeks.

 

[NewtJorden]

Poor guy. The Super Bowl meltdown and now this. All in 24 hours.

 

[Halladay]

This is his punishment for the 4th quarter.

 

[Avs_19]

Things changed pretty quickly. In the first half last night I saw people saying how lucky the Niners were for getting someone who was doing that to the Pats. Now they're talking about the role he played in costing the Falcons the Super Bowl.

What's this Matt Schaub stuff I saw the other day? Just a bad rumour?

 

[aleshemsky83]

rewatching the game, he totally blew the game late, but he called a great offense for 18 games and 3 quarters

 

[SpookyTsuki]

That was quick
