Michael Silver reported the 49ers had the 1st shot, and Hue wanted to be a 49 but the team never extended an offer or any interest in a 2nd interview, but yeah screw the facts, it's a lot more fun to be a jerk huh?

If he wanted the job it was his. He came away more impressed with the Browns than SF and Baalke and Jed knew it. Why extend an offer for a 2nd interview when the guy didn't come out impressed first of all and still wanted to explore all his options.

It's like buying a car...if you leave the dealership empty handed, chances are you are not going back.

Hue was a top candidate in many circles and its his right to go to the best situation possible. Right now, it's Cleveland regardless of how crappy they have been. It's telling that a coach would choose Cleveland or SF. People need to stop bring up the glory days and the 5 SBs because that doesn't mean crap anymore when you have a couple idiots in charge.

I'm curious why Baalke didn't extend an offer though. What was it about Hue that he didn't like that everyone else liked.

It was also reported that Hue was the front runner even before the interview on Sunday. Baalke and Jed couldn't convince him to be the next coach, it's really quite simple to see

Isn't it plausible that the Niners don't want to hire him? Everyone is Tim Kawakami all of a sudden. (Not to single you out mutant man, you're not alone)

Which scenario is more believable
1) that Hue met with the team and decided Ckeveland was the best fit for him or

2) the niners brass met with Hue and decided he wasn't the guy for them??

I'll take option 1 99% of the time

I just love how everyone knows what the reasons are/what goes on behind closed doors. Maybe you're right, maybe you're not. Please quit acting like your unverifiable point of view is fact.

.@AlbertBreer on @BullandFox: Hue "a home run", will report to Haslam; Manziel exit "pretty quickly" in offseason

Do you just make this s**t up as you go along? Have even a shred of proof to your allegations?

I guarantee you don't because its a fabrication so you can be right and Nyniner85 wrong.

Reports are he told Cleveland they have to move on from Johnny Football and they agreed

Yup I just read that on Rotoworld.

Told you. They are taking Jared Goff.

I find it funny he found it necessary to make that demand. I think Manziel has made his feeling towards the Browns quite clear by his behavior. And if that didn't get the message across, remember his agent was on Twitter openly campaigning for them to trade Manziel to Dallas.

So, yea....

Trade his dumb ass to Canada, fool doesn't deserve to be in the NFL!!!

Seriously though trade him to a team like Buffalo, don't let him get his way by helping him to go back to a place HE WANTS.

Paxton Lynch fits with what Hue Jackson wants more IMO. Bill Plaschke is a California based sports writer and agreed with that as well. Remember, Hue loved Kap, whose skill set most closely resembles that between Lynch and Goff? I know he worked with Dalton in Cincy but they never won a playoff game and he didn't select Dalton, now he can choose who he wants.

Multiple beat writers had stated he was the front runner. Sounds to me if the meeting lasted 5 hours it was because they liked Hue.

He turned the team down. It was Cleveland and SF. Stay in Ohio or go back to the bay. Why is it so hard for you to believe that is what happened??

The guy went to Cleveland because they actually offered him and because he will have roster control.

Never mind one of Hue's good good friends tweeting that Hue wanted to be a 49er and they never offered him the job.

Its just so much easier to believe the OPINIONS of beat writers whos opions are always negative, and ignore facts of the mater. I understand, it fits your narrative.

I get the impression that the 49ers seemed to cool on the guy after the interview. One thing is for sure. Until they sign a coach I'm done buying they are "hot" about any candidate or anything else in that general regard.

Yes, the 49er ownership and front office is in a bad way but c'mon. Its freakin Cleveland! Its the BROWNS! Ones a dump and the other is a steaming pile.

Giving a coach roster input is great but giving them complete control just doesn't work. Too much for one guy to handle.

He also already lives in Ohio with his family. It's not hard to figure this out.
