The 49ers 2015 Coaching Search Thread(All Rumors and News Here) | Page 717

Phoenix49ers · 2015-01-03T09:08:39-08:00

Updating the previous thread with the main candidates that the 49ers have been looking at or are thus far planning to interview. Put all coaching rumors here, state your preferences for a head coach, talk about anything related to the 49ers coaching search and the possible future coaching staff. So far the 49ers have interviewed Dan Quinn, Vic Fangio, Mike Shanahan and Adam Gase On Deck are Josh McDaniels and Rex Ryan. They've also requested to interview Todd Bowles and Teryl Austin but no dates have been set since both their teams have Wild Card games this weekend. 49ers have not as of yet had an interview with Jim Tomsula, or if they've had one, it has not been made public. They have also reportedly shown interest in Kyle Shanahan but as of today have not scheduled nor requested an interview with him. Mike Shanahan Most recent job: Head coach, Washington Age-62 Pros: He has the most experience of any of the known 49ers candidates and has coached two of the game's best quarterbacks – Steve Young and John Elway. That's a big selling point for a franchise trying to turn Colin Kaepernick into an elite quarterback. He also has ties to the 49ers' glory years and their original West Coast offense, which would be trumpeted in an introductory press conference. Cons: Shanahan's last quarterback project ended with then-rookie Robert Griffin III taking a beating from which he has yet to recover. Shanahan went 24-41 in four seasons in Washington and lost his only playoff appearance. Vic Fangio Most recent job: Defensive coordinator, 49ers Age: 56 Pros: He showed a keen eye for placing players in the right spots when he began assembling the 49ers after the 2011 lockout. His units have finished in the top five ever since and his blunt and honest style has won the respect of his players. Fangio would add an element of calm to the franchise after such a dizzying 2014 campaign. Cons: That blunt style may not play well with a front office that felt undermined at times by Jim Harbaugh. Meanwhile, the 49ers' most important component is Kaepernick, and they may be prefer an offensive coach. Rex Ryan Most recent job: Former head coach, Jets Age: 52 Pros: He has a commanding personality and presence that could galvanize even a veteran team, which the 49ers are at this point. His Jets defenses typically have been stout in recent years. Cons: While the Jets' defenses have been top 10 in caliber, Fangio's have been top five. Hiring Ryan over Fangio could be a tough sell to the players. Furthermore, the 49ers need the most help on offense and with their quarterback, both of which were Ryan's downfalls in New York. Adam Gase Most recent job: Offensive coordinator, Broncos Age: 36 Pros: He's been part of one of the league's top offenses in recent seasons and has worked closely with perhaps the best quarterback in the game. Gase is said to have a strong personality and he's been an excellent match with Peyton Manning, something that must entice the 49ers as they look for someone to work with Kaepernick. Cons: Gase is a year older than Justin Smith and might have trouble with a veteran roster that was given the run of the place under Harbaugh. Furthermore, it's hard to distinguish who was most responsible for Denver's offensive success – Gase or Manning. Josh McDaniels Most recent job: Offensive coordinator, Patriots Age: 38 Pros: He's also young, but the Patriots' offensive coordinator is more experienced than Gase, having been the Broncos' head coach in 2009 and 2010. Like Gase, McDaniels is known for offense and for working with quarterbacks. Cons: McDaniels' stint in Denver ended just 12 games into his second season and it was clear he did not have the respect of the locker room. His record with quarterbacks also was not good in Denver – Jay Cutler didn't trust him and he was traded to Chicago. The Broncos selected Tim Tebow – now out of the league – in the first round of the 2010 draft. http://www.sacbee.com/sports/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/article5352360.html

More like Saints LB's coach Joe Vitt with a wig, that's his daughter. Gase loves coaching so much, he married a grizzled old coaches daughter.

I think she's hot and Prob cool as hell

Not sure Arizona would go after Vic to replace Bowles. Could see them promoting from within and adding Lebeau with a paper title to help mentor the new DC and coach up the D.

Leaves open the option for Fangio to be DC in AZ if he leaves SF

Would be a good hiring for AZ, but advantage goes to us. We know his system but he wouldn't know our new offense.

advantage goes to us?

We lose one of the best DC's in the NFL. There are no advantages to that

They just lost a better DC, in my opinion and would have to learn a whole new defense, sounds like a wash to me. Denver (under gase) smashed our defense this past year

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Ya, losing Vic to Arizona would be advantage us. SMFH.

lol this. What does Arizona losing their DC have anything to do with us.

We lose Vic. Period. That is a negative

Yeah and if Vic leaves we still got Donnatell and Tomsula. Not worried.

Honestly, Vic leaving a defense as talented as ours while making big bucks is kinda dumb. And if its because he didn't get to decide who the coach was, well he can bounce then. Its not like like Fangio's defenses have always been impenetrable. He looked like a savant this year in large part due to how much inept our offense was.

If he stays I believe we can contend for a SB with a more potent offense. If he leaves I still think we can do the same thing.

No matter who we have as a DC, Baalke knows defense. Period. From pass rushers to ILB's, to DL and esp. DB's. That said, we shouldn't dismiss the amzing job Fangio, Tomsula, Jim and Donatell have done with them.

#Broncos OC Adam Gase spent the morning at the team facility and he's met with GM John Elway about their head coaching vacancy, source said

Rapport is so garbage, he waites until other guys tweet stuff then he steals their tweets and says sources.

If the 49ers miss out on Adam Gase, has to be either Fangio or Tomsula, right? Not sure what York's alternative plan is, if he has one.
If reports are true about Fangio bolting if he doesn't get his way, I wouldn't want him as a HC.

I think Fangio sort of issuing an "ultimatum" probably sealed his fate, almost no way that "YorkKe" would want it to be perceived they bowed to pressure from Fangio.

I'm not a fan of this hire if it is indeed Gase, but if you come in and improve the offense and win a few games players will respect anyone of any age.
