This is great for one reason. Kenny would've passed on last year's team, probably ended up with Seattle. But not this year! Now everyone is gonna want to come here. I bet some of the coaches and players who passed on us are kicking themselves right now. Anyone still have any doubts about the Shanny/Lynch hire?

Well, I got to admit, I didn't see this coming, but it seems Kyle and Bellicheat's talk after the Super Bowl might have triggered this. I mean Kyle is seriously beefing up his defensive coaching staff.

Ooh...if they coulda just found a way to keep the entire core of the the 1994 team together for one more year. We'd be on a quest for 7. That team was a juggernaut.

Yea it kinda bugs me that ricky watters played more seasons for the seahawks than he did the 49ers

One of my personal all time favorite free agency hires. He brought much needed attitude to that D and smacked Emitt Smith around. Glad he's back.

McDaniel will be the Niners next OC, he's Kyles right hand man.

As Assistant HC that puts him above Saleh if I understand the hierarchy. So maybe he can overrule and help with some of the play calling that have caused some of us fits.

No it doesn't.

It means he gets a different pay structure than a typical position coach. It also means he will get exposure to the offensive gameplan and have some input. It doesn't mean he calls defensive plays or answers directly to the HC.

Title of assistant HC means that he had other offers. Thus, the Niners gave him more "responsibility"(aka cash).

This. That is ALL it means.

The '94 Team was strictly a short term juggernaut...it was cobbled together (especially on defense) with a lot of short-term, frontloaded contracts for one purpose: DETHRONE DALLAS

The cost was the seeds for the late-90's/early-2000's salary cap hell were sown irrevocably

Team also lucked out in the draft in '94 (BY, Floyd, Woodall), but after that had mediocre drafts that didn't have blue chip returns, apart from TO

Oakland LBs were some of the worst coached units in the league until he got fired.

He was the DC, not the LB coach.

I think Holland's promotion is on defensive side.

That makes a lot of sense. He was WR's coach before being an offensive assistant in Atlanta. Looks like Kyle's not messing around.

I seem to remember that being the result of Gabe Wilkins and the like in the late 90's
