Report: 49ers expected to interview Tom Cable, two Seattle execs
Jan 5, 2017 at 10:30 AM
• --
In the aftermath of losing their seventh straight game to the rival Seahawks, the 49ers are expected to interview Seattle offensive line coach Tom Cable for their head-coach opening and Seattle's co-directors of player personnel Scott Fitterer and Trent Kirchner for their general-manager vacancy next week, USA Today reported. Cable, 52, who also has the title of assistant head coach, has been with the Seahawks since 2011. In August 2009, defensive assistant Randy Hanson emerged from a meeting with Cable with a broken jaw and accused him of assault. "Obviously, your record speaks for itself, but I think there's more to it than that," York said. [...] I think, again, if you're going to reestablish a culture and you're going to have everybody held accountable in the locker room, players accountable to each other, I think the best way to do that is a clean slate. The expected interviews with the Seattle trio will come after the Seahawks beat the 49ers, 25-23, in their regular-season finale Sunday.

ESPN analyst Matt Miller understands the perspective of San Francisco 49ers fans. After all, he has been a fan of the team since he was a kid. Seeing any of your favorite players leave and put on another uniform is tough.
It's also difficult to pay everyone, and Miller knows that. It's not a formula for successful roster building, including paying two wide receivers top dollar.
The 49ers are trying to negotiate a contract extension with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. The team invested heavily in another receiver, Deebo Samuel, just two years ago. Is allowing each of them to consume a significant chunk of the salary cap feasible for a team that hopes to continue being competitive and win Super Bowls?
