Excellent article.
I don't see him taking an OC job. He is like "THE MAN" there and he's no kid. Why leave a job and position that is super comfortable and where's he's treated like a KING?
Still .... since he was RGIII's coach and maybe if Snyder fires Shanahan and hires Art as HC ... there may be an opportunity for us?
Doubtful - way too many "if's".
IMO, JH doesn't throw anyone under the bus and I mean anyone - let alone Roman who he brought as part of his coaching team.
But there's always hope.

Updating this thread since some of these guys ended up getting OC jobs already.
1. Ken Zampese-Bengals-QB Coach-WCO experience as well as experience developing and working with multiple young QB's. Jon Kitna had his best season with him as QB coach and has spoken very highly of him. He worked with and helped develop both Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton, is knowledgeable in both the WCO and the digits system ran by his father and Mike Martz.
2. Randy Fichtner-QB Coach-Pittsburgh Steelers-Cut his teeth in the Steelers organization, joined in 2007, was highly regarded as a WR's coach before becoming the QB coach. Big Ben heavily lobbied for him to be the Steelers OC before Haley was hired.
3. Matt Cavanaugh-Bears-Experienced, has been around, has called run heavy offenses while still being capable of opening things up with the passing game.

I think Norv is the most ideal OC in the league for what the 49ers personnel and style of play currently calls for:
Power run with play action pass deep.
I think we could get him. One season with Cleveland, this season with Minnesota. Are OCs tied down like head coaches?
And if we want to be wishful in our thinking, imagine if we could keep Harbaugh as a pure HC and let Norv run the offense?

I think Jim Hostler has Raye beat. Mainly because most 49ers probably don't even know what Jim Hostler looks like.....which makes him easier to hate for some reason.

Where is Eric Mangini on this list? Surely he will save us.

That was the real reason Harbaugh/Baalke went to "kick the tires" on Manning after his neck surgeries, they didn't want him at QB, they wanted him as OC lol

Hell Peyton has seen anything and everything in the NFL, he'd be a great OC and eventually maybe even a HC. But I just don't see that happening. Are there any HOF players that coach now? Is Harbaugh in the HOF as a player?

This is the x factor for me. Why exactly is Mangini on this staff? Maybe he's here for the future. With Harbaugh and his staff possibly gone after this season, Mangini can step in as possibly a DC. He's been successful as a DC.

I know you're joking but I'd put my life on the fact that Manning's real reason for not signing with us(outside of money) was he didn't want to run this type of offense. Had nothing to do with playing in the same conference as Eli.

First time i have watched Kyle Shanahans offense with the BROWNS this year. I feel like we should be as smooth looking as the brown on offense, quick developing plays, runs, play action, runs, mix it up with intermediate passes. Except with the talent we have we should be able to use that type of system much more effectively with many different mismatches we could exploit. I guess Kyle Shanahan is pretty good, this is actually the first browns game i have watched all season so I couldnt actually see the play calls.
