Like how Vance Joseph's interview never occurred, even though it was scheduled, we'll proceed in the same manner for Cable.

@AnnKIllion reported he's high on Jed's list tho

Oh God. Insiders say 49ers like Cable. That can't be true, can it?

At Matt Barrows' latest analysis on our head coach situation, he only listed three candidates. Barrows also put Cable as the first on his list and detailed some of Cable's strength. I agree with Barrows that Cable is a blue collar work horse but with supreme ability to assemble top class staffs. I can see him working well with Paraag and Jed.

Cable has experience at the position, having been head coach of the Raiders from 2008-10 and would bring a blue-collar, run-oriented style that could mesh with the 49ers' current personnel.

As someone well-versed in the 49ers' search said this week, Cable would be what the 49ers envisioned with Jim Tomsula – but with experience and the ability to assemble a top-level staff. Unlike Tomsula, Cable has gravitas and force of character. Cable has kept some big personalities, including running back Marshawn Lynch, in check in Seattle previously. Above all else, the 49ers want cohesion between their general manager and head coach.

Of the three remaining candidates, Cable is the only one with a relationship with a general-manager candidate, having worked with both Trent Kirchner and Scott Fitterer. A Kirchner-Cable alliance is especially intriguing to San Francisco. The 49ers will interview Cable on Sunday and Kirchner and Fitterer on Monday. Cable, 52, was born in Merced and has spent all but one of his 29 years as a coach in the West.

My initial feeling exactly, but the more I read about Cable, I am warming up to the idea. Somehow I think Jed and Paraag feeling the same way ... after interviewing a whole bunch of them.

Doesn't seem to be any hints of this interview being canceled. I'm scared.

I think it would've been cancelled if Atlanta or New England loss yesterday. IMO

Yeah having a wife beater as a HC is such a classy move.
