Of all the things wrong with the front office this one doesn't bother me much.

Not a bad thing in my opinion. Denise is the true owner of this club. It's a sign that the entire family is fully involved and committed to fixing this mess.
Let me ask you this: Would you rather have the true owner of this team completely disinterested in the process of fixing this team. Off on a beach in Waikiki? Not giving a damn one way or another?
This is really good news IMO.

Cable is rated as a good future head coach. So it is right that they interviewed him. He has some unpleasant history which may or may not be behind him. So I am glad they didn't offer him the job. I don't see the problem here.
Incidentally in view of his history I was amused to see that Denise interviewed him by phone rather than face to face
But if we come out of this with Shanny and either Wolf or Guterkunst I will mark this up as a triumph for the ownership.

To be fair, I think if one of the downsides to your candidate is a violent history towards women, getting a woman to at least talk to him is a pretty good idea.

Why?
What does that mean? Do John and Denise interview everyone?
Why leak this now?
Who is doing pr for the board?
Please fix all this kyle. We're begging.
Probably because its a SMART idea for a woman owner to interview a head coach candidate with domestic violence issues in his past. If they were even remotely interested in hiring him, having her speak to him first was pretty much a prerequisite.
For all we know, she could have been the one that completely shot down any chance of Cable being hired.
In this regard I don't mind her being involved. She's still a Debartolo and was an executive with the Penguins when they won a Stanley Cup. Seeing how John and Jed have run things, I'm down for Denise taking on a larger role, whether it was a one time thing or she has taken a larger role in running things behind the scenes, I doubt that she could make it any worse.

He should have hit on her. Probably did.
I said hit on her. Not hit her.

I think we need to stop with this idea that anytime the press gets a whiff of something 49ers related, it was some calculated move by the FO.
Sounds crazy, but when an owner interviews a prospective coach, there's probably at least a dozen people that know about it (agents, team employees on both sides, family, friends, etc.) and may elect to leak the news for various reasons.
Stop being so paranoid.

Pretty hard to do through the phone but if Cable pulled it off that would mean he's a wizard and then they definitely should have hired him.
