Mike Solari named 49ers oline coach (page 3) | Page 2

aiiyiiyiii · 2010-01-15T14:17:40-08:00

So Singletary got rid of Al Everest (now interviewing with Pittsburg Steelers) and whiffed on Bobby April (now with Eagles). We need a ST coach. Meanwhile, he's retained Chris Foerster, who has coached some of the worst O lines in franchise history. We need a new O line coach. The Seahawks are expected to replace Mike Solari, who's been O line coach and OC with Kansas City, and was last seen around Ninerland as a member of the staff of the 49er XXIX super bowl team, where he coached special teams while Bobb McKittrick coached the O line. Solari's a longtime California guy. Please Mike.. hire this guy NOW, as soon as he is officially freed by the Shawks. He can replace the underachieving Foerster as O line coach, and could even do double duty as the STs coach. Is this just too obvious? [ Edited by 49erWill on Jan 21, 2010 at 13:55:02 ]

Or Jimmy Raye.

Solari was o-line coach under Raye in KC from 98-2000. Vermiel came in 2001 . . . Solari survived . . . Raye didn't.

I AGREE, i started a thread about firing our OL coach. We have a 1st round LT, and 2 2nd round guards and the guards are not playing like they should. This says a lot for our horrible coach and something about our OL players. We need a coach who can actually TEACH them to get better. I cannot believe we did not pay for a great OL coach to help us. We just better get some Great OL players through FA and the draft to make uo for the lack of a coach

I get a bad vibe that he'll end up going to the Skins...

He was the first dude brought in by Sing...dont know why he's prolonging it. Shouldve got April but oh well. Hope he doesnt drag this out like the OC situation last year.

Hell yeah. I wanted Solari a couple of years ago. I am hoping the dismal Seattle stint has dropped him off of other's radars.

Maybe he's waiting on Tom Cable . . . would Sing hire a wife beater?

Fixed.

And I'm not going to get excited at all for any OL coach hire until Foerster is fired first..

One thing I know is his one year of OC at KC was one of the worst in the NFL. My brother is a die-hard chief fan and this was the same year Hostler was our OC and we always use to compete about who's OC was worse lol.

With that said KC O-line play was always preatty solid when he was there. The dude just couldnt call plays. I know nothing about him as a ST coach.

I'm really not to keen on the way Singletary handles his assistant coach searches. Sounds like he talks the prospects right out of wanting the job. Hope he at least brings back Mac Duff, if he hasn't already turned him off. Don't hold your breath as far as getting a new O-line coach. We're stuck with Foerster, like it or not.

Thank you, Shanny!!!
