I have liked all of Harbaugh's hires, but this one has me most excited.
On offense, Harbaugh is surrounding himself with guys he's familiar with, but on D, he's focusing on building an experienced NFL staff (Tomsula, Donatell, Fangio)

Yup, it sounds great! I'm excited to see what he'll do with Mays/smith/Goldson (if here)! And with a focus on 4 blitzing LB's and QB pressures, it should eally play into the strengths of the secondary.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's used to try to attract Champ Bailey here. "Hey Champ we'll pay you good money and we got your old coach and you get to play with Patrick Friggin Willis". Use him like the Packers use Charles Woodson maybe.

i doubt that anyone we just hired would get considered for hc position, unless your talking about college level
