Mike McDaniel and a potential homecoming to the Niners...your thoughts

Shop Find 49ers gear online
I have no information, but I also believe that yes, you can in certain situations, come home again. We have seen it with Saleh, I think we will see it with McDaniel. The wild card is if Saleh gets a head coaching gig and he takes Mike McDaniel with him.

Your thoughts?

What role would he occupy on the offensive staff because as it currently stands, is there a valid reason to demote or let go of Kubiak?

I mean does he wants to come back and be a senior assistant and or advisor or maybe assistant HC? Either way, it'd be a title in name only where he's likely another sharp mind in the room contributing to this organization.

On the flip side, he may field some offers to be an OC with play calling duties for some of the teams currently in need or who will be in need in short order.

I'm definitely on board with a return though.

same same .. just like before he became Miami's HC, he ain't gonna do much cause Shanny still calls the plays.
My thoughts are the 49ers season ended last weekend.

Thank god your thoughts are your own, Bill.
I would imagine he would be welcomed back in almost any capacity as we would be his fallback which is fine.

There are so many HC/OC openings right now. I doubt he'll be back here.
Meh he will be the OC in DC or if Saleh gets a HC gig
Bring him back and trade a yuk for Hill

My apologies, Fro. I just cannot shake this feeling. I hope it turns out otherwise. Good enough?

I saw the same, but I'm hoping they'll turn it around for the playoffs.
Saleh + McDaniels team would be interesting, but not clear that would happen. McDaniels may have other opportunities or simply sit a year then decide what to do next year. He may decide it's better to hang out with Kyle for a year instead of building with Saleh. That's if Saleh garners real interest. I still maintain his performance this year isn't anything special but isn't bad.
love to have him in the organization again. But Klay has been a good contributor too. We would need a big tent.

Better. I need you to be positive, though. I share some of your concerns, I assure you. But we are getting too damn old for negativity.
