Okay guys, I'm interested in some thought out, detailed plans for the off-season.
Here's the gig.
1) you are the GM
2) list your plans for the off season in detail (ex. Trades...brooks for? A pick? Player? etc..)
3) include the draft (not players but positions of emphasis)
4) don't use baalke logic, or what you think the 49ers would do. I want you to make the call.
If it were me.
1) I'm resigning harbaugh first. Give a new pitch, clean up the roster and give him my full endorsement.
2) keep roman, but bring in a new face to assist with offensive philosophy...like Eagles offendive assistant.
3) let Crabtree walk, resign gore for 2 years. We have a good recover core, and we get a comp. pick for crabs.
4) test trade market for brooks. We won't get much more than a 5th or 6th most likely, if no interest. Release him.
5) Jonathan Martin is released. resign iupati, he's not had a great year so his price won't be that steep. I think we can lock him up for 5 years at a good price.
6) let Parrish go, resign culliver. Cully is younger, faster and a bit more feisty.
7) special teams!! Specifically drafting a kick returner/gunner on special teams.
8) draft: go WR, DL the first few rounds of the draft. I'm going after Amati cooper. Crabtree, Lloyd are both out the door we need a fast big WR. IM also finding a 3-4 end now that Raymac is gone and back up tackle to float staley or David if they get hurt. Also, Rb. I know we have Hyde and hunter, but I'm finding a Jamal Charles/Chris Johnson speed receiving back just to add speed to the offense.
9) with reaser, Acker and Ramsey being added this next off season the d gets a little bit of a lift. Moody and Borland have played well so those guys stay. Lynch, smith and skits are solid and productive olbs. So the defense is set.
Gore on a 2 year deal, Hyde as the bell cow, hunter as a speed back. Millard & miller as FB & H-backs.
2 new WRs with boldin, Johnson, Ellington & Patton.
Davis, carrier, and celek as tight ends. (Trading Vance during the draft...)
Staley, lupati, Martin, Boone, Davis is a good online when healthy. Looney, Thomas, and a new tackle will be a legit back up team.
Carradine, dial, Dorsey, and Williams are a great DL as long as we get some fresh pass rushing power as and End to mold.
Lbs are good, defensive backs are good and safety's are solid as well.
Special teams needs some pick up, but I think signing a returner that takes osgoods place in punts and kick off coverage would be awesome.
Nothing too wacky because I believe iur roster is very solid with exception to WR and now DL depth. Getting a crash offensive mind fixes a lot I think so that may be my biggest acquisition.
Alright fellas...let's see your ideas.

Stopped reading there. If a guy is bad enough to NEED an "assistant", he shouldnt be coordinating anything period.

Clearly the problem is not enough coaches on offense, 4 or 5 more should do the trick.
OP just got fired as GM on his very first day.

Simplyfloyd posted his thoughts and asks for others, and I agree with others who say that if Roman is part of the equation, I'm outta here.
I've stated elsewhere many times that the first move and by far the most important is whether or not Harbaugh is willing to stay if Roman is forced out.
Everything else cascades from that one decision.

releasing Brooks would be a big mistake.

agree 100%. He's arguably our best OLB and would start on all other teams in the NFL.

1. Adam Gase becomes the HC and Vic stays as the DC.
2. Crabs is gone, Iupati is gone, Brooks is traded for a 5th or 6th, SJ restructures his deal, VD is gone, They extend Aldon Smith, they resign Cully, and makes small moves in FA for CB,TE,DL and I think due to de-escalators I think (could be wrong) Kap's at $10.8 million next year.
3. Trade Harbs to Oakland for their 1st grab Leonard Williams and at our 15th pick grab Dorial Green Beckham (I know not gonna happen ). Focus on the offensive side of the ball in the draft.
4. Move around the line Boone isn't working at guard and something needs to be done.

Keep hoarding draft picks and waste them on guys with torn ACLs, not draft or make a FA move for an explosive playmaker, feud with one of the top 5 best coaches in football and kick him to the curb for making the team respectable again.
Wonder what my ex boss was doing and realize he was part of a FO that brought in a lot of players that punished his old team over and over again and rubbed a Lombardi trophy in their faces.
