Agree, its not like Steve is demanding a hefty fee for his services. He is offering his hand to the organization...seems like the York just slap it away! Frustrating!

He says we should install guys who come from the WCO tree. He also mentioned the guy doesn't necessarily need to be affiliated directly with Walsh. The guy they hire can simply just understand the WCO philosophy and principals and knows how to use it.
That's all it is. No one is saying we need he WCO Offense back, the only people that think that are simpletons. He's simply saying that there is an aggressive, pass-first, QB-centric philosophy there that we have simply ignored for 8 years.
He's actually said that a ton of times. He thinks we have a huge advantage over the league by having all the tape and stuff from that era but it just sits locked up somewhere with those dusty old trophies.
Gotta agree it is a waste.
Yeah but nobody runs a pure WCO anymore. He's simply saying that most teams have taken that and built upon it, we have not even though we have the legacy and USED to have a fanbase that appreciated it.

Too many people keep fantasizing about going back to the WCO. Just because it worked for us 20 years ago doesn't mean it will today. It seems as if people are jsut caught up too much in the glory days.
It's working for the Eagles and Packers.

Ummm....I value Steve's opinions but don't both Belichek and Paytoncome from the Parcells coaching tree and somehow they managed nit to look Luke the 90s Giants? If anything, the Falcons look more like the 90s Giants offensively.

This is must listen, he is fired up about the GM search. He says it is important for the next head coach to send a message to the fans and organization that we are going to embrace the legacy of what made the 49ers successful, from traveling to road games, to the way the 49ers practice, to scripting the first 15 plays, to running west coast offense style formations, etc...
He says it is already hard enough to win in the league, why not use the tools that makes most of the the teams successful - Saints, Patriots, Eagles, Colts, Falcons - he says all those teams use WCO plays even though they say its their own.

Steve said he is ALWAYS willing to help. He says he can't be GM because it's like Dan Marino or Elway being GM so the answer is no. He says if they want his opinion, he will give 1000% effort to it because he WANTS the 49ers to be great.
LISTEN JED!!!
You can lead a horse to water...but...

so can Baalke and Harbaugh co-exist?
Can Harbaugh have a WCO offense and Baalke can he draft to fit what Harbaugh wants for each position?
Or is the GM the guy who decides what kind of player he wants and the coach has to make do ?

The 1990s Giants won a super bowl didnt they?
At this point, I'll take 1 super bowl over the next 5-10 years then this sht.
People need to get over the idea that we're going to be this perennial 11-5 or better team for 20 straight years. Those days are over for EVERYONE in the NFL...not just us.
That isn't true. The Patriots are doing just that right in our faces.
20 straight years?
