This situation kinda perplexes me. Some think Fangio will be gone if Harbaugh leaves, but I'd have to assume, that he's not going to stay with a partner that fetters himself to a dunce. I guess we'll find out in four to five more weeks.

We'll see what happens. I agree that the offense needs to change but I really don't want the D to change. If a whole new coaching regime steps in, I honestly think the D takes a step back. So much focus will go into fixing this offense, the D will slip. We all see that your not going to get anywhere without a solid defense and a good offense even though the current offense isn't even good. If the niners can find a way to keep Harbs/Fangio...and just find a different OC...then I think we have a chance at the SB next season at Levi's. That chances of that happening though is far off I think.

Alex Boone Seattle Post Game Interview


Q: What are you guys hoping to do in these final two games ?


Boone: Like you said, make a statement. Come out, just forget everything you know, just play football. And play with some of the greatest guys ever. Frank Gore. Justin Smith. These are guys that probably are not gonna be here next year. Fight for them you know.

yeah haven't seen much of the Ol' Cowboy this season

I think he retires if his contract isn't that much next year.

You make allot of sense.

Harbaugh goes, Fangio and Cowboy are a package deal.

He has one year Left on his deal. He clearly hasn't been the same player this year but He's still been DAM GOOD this year. That just goes to show HOW FUNKING GOOD HE's BEEN for the 49ers since 2008 Clearly the Best 49er since 2008. Love Him Miss him and gonna be hard to be without him. I wish I could clone him, he is exactly what a defensive lineman in a dictionary should look like.
