Jim Schwartz has won the superbowl as a defensive coordinator. Are you aware of that ?

Yes.

And he has lost a lot the last few years through no fault of his own in Cleveland. Are you aware of that?

If they pass on him for HC then he could do what Fangio did after the 49ers passed on him for Tomsula and say nah, f**k y'all, I'm out!

Yah zero chance hes gonna work for a season under a guy he doesn't know well that got the job over him.

if Im Schwartz, whats the benefit of going here though ? Compensation ?

Going from a generational player in Garrett and a scary ass front 7 with bunch of just drafted good young players (Graham, Schwesinger) where they make him better than he is, to the Niners defense which has two of its best players coming off big injuries and also aging....I dont know

It's the Browns and they suck. They have no QB no HC and it's the browns. Also he might want out if he's pass him up as a HC
Raheem Morris? Maybe Schwartz since CLE hiring new HC

yes, this is a serious question. but since you seem to like to make up crap for others, I will throw it back at you, I guess youre "one of those people" who think "BECAUSE ITS THE NINERS AND EVERYONE WOULD LOVE TO BE A COORDINATOR HERE" is the answer ?

Every coordinator in the league is trying to look good and be a head coach, unless theyre old and have failed badly at head coach (ie, Fangio). They typically will want a good situation and good players around them to look good.

There is this thought that the Niners DC job is coveted, and its just not true. After the Wilks disaster they didnt have many candidates lined up, they had to go with Sorensen ( a disaster) and then pay Saleh a boatload to inject some life into defense. Kyle dictates to DCs what to do and likes familiar people running the ship, and his stint with Wilks may have pushed him even further in that direction.

I mean 49er DCs get actual shots to be a HC. How was Wilks a disaster? He went to the freaking SB. Turns out he wasn't really a great fit and last I checked is unemployed because he just might not be very good.

Kyle didn't dictate s**t to Ryans or Saleh. He doesn't want to coach both sides of the ball like that….my god they gave Saleh whatever the hell he wanted. Damn near all our draft picks went to the D. One of the highest paid DCs in football.

this whole narrative that Kyle is some dictator is so full of s**t. If anything his coaching staff has a TON of sway on stuff, not the other way around.

Pls get Schwarz. I don't would see him leaving after one year, he could be our Spags.

He could help nullify how good McDonald is by having a wicked awesome Niner D.
I have had a man crush on Schwartz for 49ers DC for several years. Not sure I see it happening, but it'd make me happy AF.

This. Don't just hand over the job to Gus Bradley.

Unless I'm missing something i swore that Shanahan stated that we will run a defense similar to what Dan Quinn was running when he left ATL. That was before Saleh as even named DC. To me that's dictating what they can do. Doesn't meant they don't have input on players that fit the defense or get paid what they deserve. 2 separate things to me.

How about someone from Mike Macdonald scheme

Maybe the 49ers make some adjustments, but I don't see them going too far from their current scheme.

They gotta do something b/c right now they have only two De's that fit the Wide 9 and both were out with major injuries. Guess you can say 3 with Gross Matos but he sucks. Sam O and Huff are too small to be full time players in our current scheme. Thus why either guy could drum up any pass rush with way more snaps. they aren't built for the wide 9. And they still haven't found a replacement for DJ Jones. If they can't find the talent for the scheme then maybe they need to change the scheme.

I think Keion White could be good in the scheme with some more coaching and should be included as a DE that fits our wide 9.

I forgot about White. I do like him as well

If Schwartz is smart he'll come here. Two years and he might get a HC gig. He's not getting any promotions while he stays in Cleveland…

I think Wilks was the only DC to be allowed to make any changes but it's been a similar concept since Kyles first day here.
Apparently the Browns have been asking Schwartz in his interviews which coaches he would want to work with if he doesn't get the HC job. Idk he doesn't sound like a realistic option for us… feel like something would've come up by now if he wanted to go elsewhere.
