Eric Mangini is in talks with the 49ers (consultant job) *EDIT - HIRED*

Teams have been interested in Donatel. Maybe his contract will be ending soon?

Up at the end of this upcoming season, he can walk if he wants.

Habaugh is getting ready for the inevitable. Either Vic or Roman will be snatched after this season. If Vic goes, I'd say Donatel go to D-coordinator and Mangini go to D-back coordinator.

Well, then you go right ahead and respect the heck out of them. As far as I'm concerned most people around here acknowledge that they are the toughest competition the Niners face. That sounds like respect to me. I happen to agree with the prediction that they will not do as well as their fans expect them to this next season mainly because they have a much harder schedule than they did last year. Five 10 AM games? Give me a break. Personally, I don't hate them at all. I don't hate any team.

I don't think Magini will take a position coach job.

Yup. Plus they have a bunch of low character guys over there just waiting to implode. Think the last generation of the Bengals and current Lions. Their saving grace is Wilson. Hopefully we can learn to Corrall his ass. Thankfully the game at C-Block stadium is early in the year,

Speak, Bro., speak!! And, let us not forget that the Seabuzzards have become the darlings of the NFC West to many in the media.

You really think Mangini would come back to NFL coaching as a position coach? Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind things falling that ay if we lost Fangio. I just don't know if Mangini would go for that. Seems kind of below him.

Offensive line. Okung is good, but fragile. Unger is better than average. That's it.

DCs are not position coaches. They are coordinators. Generally that job is one step away from HC. Norv had to man a coordinator position between HC jobs, Linehan was a HC who has been stuck at OC since fired, Marinelli went from HC to DL coach, back up to DC. My point is, Manging didn't have the kind of success that buys him "HC or nothing" clout. My guess is, Donatell leaves after this year, and Mangini winds up coaching DBs for a season or two. Then, Fangio dries up into dust and Mangini takes over the defense, where he stays until he dies (most NFL HCs only get two strikes).

He's got football smarts, he's pretty un-flappable, he's got good pocket presence, a cannon for an arm, speed, quickness, great work ethic and one of the best ten-game beginnings for any pro QB ever.

So, I'm going to say tats and a flat-brimmed cap.

G said nothing wrong . that pocket presence is something I never thought about until he got the job and even in his first game, after it was pointed out by my daughter and good fans like you,, that he is simply able to do things that alex can not do in the pocket.I think that is the biggest thing of all

Exactly. They're very good, but if you had to pick the weakest link, that's it. And, I think the Niners FO realizes that and is trying to get even better at pass rushing to exploit that weakness. They simply must find a way to contain Russell Wilson in the pocket and smother him before he starts running around in circles for 16 seconds in the backfield.

Can't get any lower after being with Bayless and Stephen A. Smith. Mangini was driven back into the NFL coaching in any capacity by those 2 morons.
