Bear Hands

Wilks narrative is over. Darnold 23 starter narrative is over. Season over. ciao

Ben Johnson could make a lot of sense.

Impressive. He may have finally found a career

Between Ben Johnson, Harbaugh and Ryans..gonna go Harbaugh Wilks/Rivera/Turner reunite somewhere else. QB: CJ Stroud Bridge Starter/Backup: Sam Darnold

Fair ha

Surprised the lack of mentions for YGM. This was a huge year for him and he really didn’t take that step. He was a consistently 1st round projection in his draft and it’s just not materialized. He’s my choice

Tepper is going to fly there and grab him like he's George Shinn coming after David Thompson in a rogue helicopter. They'll grab pie.

Yep, if Tepper is less fixated and has some internal support to assist (which he did admit to wanting w/the new search after firing Rhule, said in that presser he wanted some advisors this time around), I'll trust the process because that's all we can really do at day's end. Just happy it seems like a good field of candidates.

I'd tend to agree. I'd say Waldron is quietly a top candidate from the ever growing McVay tree. Steichen stemming from the old McCoy SD staff with Reich/ & Sirianni Ryans is this year's Shanahan guy Ben Johnson I still find interesting being a Mike Sherman pupil with his former counterparts in Zach Taylor & Dan Campbell. Both now HCs. Harbaugh is self-explanatory, and not a bad option one bit. Have some REALLY interesting guys out there.

Shane Waldron & Ken Dorsey would be potential adds. Unsure if Leftwich is perceived as a rising guru, but he could get considered by teams with openings.

I can see him right there for the taking if we want to engage. I see the Colts as a hard no--Harbaugh is pretty tight with the Polians and certain circles that simply won't work w/Irsay. Broncos will likely be a no from him for reasons mentioned, but it's not impossible. Only real competition for him are teams who haven't fired their coach yet. I'd usually think this is a bit long shot discussion, but this is a very real possibility this time around.

Kunkel isn't one of the mudslingers, usually a pretty straight forward guy with player updates/news feed. Very interesting.

Between Spears and the Illinois kid Brown, there's some fun ones to add to our arsenal in that 4th-6th range. Two of my faves that seem to have the NFL level quickness.

Arch Manning 2025 babay

Given that we were in a reasonable spot to get Garrett Wilson or Justin Jefferson in both of their drafts, it's hard not to really crave the stud WR.

It'd be one thing to play the game, but that resume bit is the truth for the best coaches in the game today. You interview and assess who'd be the best coach possible, don't let the paper do the elimination.

I believe so.

LOVE IT. Pratt wasn't asked to do much but made no mistakes & Spears absolutely snowplowed the Trojans. Absolutely awesome win.

I mean, Kyle Shanahan, Sean McDermott, Sean McVay, Zac Taylor, Brian Daboll, & Kevin O'Connell, all had the same amount combined when brought in as HC to their squads. Never a HC at any level, anywhere.

Ryans should have a good network to pry from and be an attractor for players. One of the few DCs I'd be cool with. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/why-nick-bosa-considers-49ers-demeco-ryans-best-d-coordinator-nfl-career Brian Griese and James Cregg could both be options on offense.

A bit unsure with Shane Day. The Chargers' offense has been banged up but took a really strange dip this year even though they've managed wins. Herbert has definitely had an off year.

Nice points. Agree on Tremble. Can't act like he's our set future at TE but he's continuing to develop more and more. I'm happy with the entire OL. Bozeman and Corbett especially. Re-signing Bozeman should be the first thing we do. He's such a good player & teammate. For Darnold--I'm thinking he should get signed to a 2-year type deal. You look around the league at these other backups like McSorley, Huntley, Rypien, Ehlinger, Perkins, Wolford, and they just can't move the ball, can't produce. You can produce and win (~.500) with Sam.

I think Tyjae Spears has a bright future on Sundays. Great balanced everything back.

I think he's got the HC gene from a locker room & practice leader perspective, but unsure about his abilities in game planning and figuring out the right vision for this team. It's precisely why he worked well as Rivera's DB-C/Assistant-HC, he ran our practices and had the squad tight as hell in 2015/16 but he kind of slipped when he was our DC. I still feel like Buffalo took our best staff. It's tough because the team supports him, he's local, likeable, and the narrative for becoming our HC has been set already. I think Tepper has to make the tough decision to sign someone else but should definitely interview and see what his long term plans would be and who he'd bring in to his staff. We cannot be complacent if we want a turnaround and I'd need some assurance he's got an offensive mind to bring in.
