My main reservation about a defensive coach.....how can you ensure continuity on offense. Baltimore is having a lot of success on offense this season but if Kubiak bounces on them after a season, where does that leave them. I still have nightmares of the yearly rotating OC's here.

Let's hope Baalke and York have learned from the Mike Nolan situation. I could see if your QB was already developed like Tom Brady, than I'd definitely look for the best defensive coach out there. This whole thing is once again gonna be to help aid the young QB, Baalke needs a HC that can really mentor Kaepernick or it will be the dark years once again.

Harbaugh. f**k York if he makes the stupid decision of getting rid of Harbaugh. 2002-2010 was absolutely miserable!

And for those wanting Pep Hamilton. He was brought in to fix the running game and limit Andrew Luck so he wasn't having to do everything. This year the Colts are #1 in passing (Luck is on pace for 661 pass attempts) and #17 in rushing. Now look at Gary Kubiak. Baltimore was 30th in rushing last year. Ray Rice averaged 3.1 yards per rush. In his first year with Baltimore Kubiak has them at 5th in rushing. Justin Forsett is averaging 5.4 yards per rush. Baltimore has gone from 29th in offense to 10th (best of the Harbaugh era).

How s**tty would it be that not only did John get a ring, his new OC would take his brothers job.

Kubiak uses a lot of screen passes! And he uses mobile linemen which helps the pass protection and the run game. Good time to fix the OL -- Staley stays, Iupati is already out the door, Martin is the C of the future and we don't need to keep overpaying Boone. K calls the plays so no more delay penalties. Moves the pocket which is great for Kap. Great coach for Kap all the way around.

Proven track record at fixing the offense, and best scheme and coach for Kap -- fixes the broken parts! Not an unproven college coach or coordinator with no record or success as HC. Not too young, or too old.

What they are going to do is get a discount coach on the cheap like Erickson, Nolan and Singletary. This was a ploy. They wanted to show they are not cheap so they could get their new stadium. Now that they got it they don't want to pay $5 million a year anymore to a HC. Much less $7 - $8 million a year.

You will see. We will end up with a less expensive HC. This has the Yorks written all over it. I know who they really are. They don't fool me.

It would be Jims own decision that allows the job to be vacant.

But I would be all for Kubiak, he made Jake Plummer successful and it would be the perfect offense for Kap. Lots of play action and rollouts.

Still holding out hope that JH stays but if not, I;d rather have Kubiak.

I'm sure this has been brought up but I was just thinking. These coaches we are all listing as good replacements for Harbs, what if they don't wanna come here? I mean look at how the FO and Harbs has meshed. I think everyone in the league totally respects Harbaugh and how he's turned around this franchise in 4 years. But what big name coach will consider coming here seeing how Harbaugh and the FO didn't get along. They may think what if he's in that same situation for the next several years.
Baalke/York might hire a coach that they get along with and not necessarily a coach thats going to win them SB's (whom they might clash with again).

Just a thought I guess because with the report of Harbs being offered a bigger contract with Michigan he may be as good as gone.

Because the front office is well respected also and is regarded as one of the best in the NFL. That came directly from Peter King. For all the BS about people complaining about Baalke around here, he's seen as a very good GM across the NFL, Marathe is seen as a very good executive, unless a coach is demanding full control of all football decisions, which isn't going to happen, I don't think they'd have a problem with the front office whatsoever. I'm sure they'll ask about the situation regarding Harbaugh but since he has a reputation as having a few screws loose anyways, I don't see it being an issue at all.


To me, this is still the premier head coaching job in the NFL if Harbaugh leaves. How many guys get to step onto a team that is already a Superbowl contender when healthy. If Tom Coughlin does get fired, its the 49ers and the Giants.....and then everyone else.
