Ex-Rams coach Linehan says no to 49ers' coordinator offer

SAN FRANCISCO -- Scott Linehan declined the 49ers' offer to become their offensive coordinator Sunday, saying he wasn't ready to commit to his next coaching move.

Linehan, a respected offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings, was fired four games into his third season as the St. Louis Rams' head coach last September. He still wants to return to coaching this year, but he said he doesn't want to rush his choice.

"They were great to me from the top down, from ownership to the front office to (49ers coach) Mike (Singletary)," Linehan told The Associated Press in a phone interview from his home in St. Louis. "It's just timing right now. I'm just not ready to make a decision."

Linehan was offered the 49ers' job Thursday after his second interview with Singletary and general manager Scot McCloughan, who are looking for the seventh offensive coordinator in the last seven seasons for a franchise that redefined offensive football under Bill Walsh in the 1980s.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Okay, so answer this one then, since you said you can't answer something you don't think will happen...... You have said numerous times in the past that even though you want them, you don't think Deion will allow us to take his son or Hunter. You then taking Ward #1 over T-Mac just because he's the QB?

      Thanks for that sounds very interesting.   I have a scientific mind usually and don’t believe in wide spread conspiracy theories but with the NBA it’s so obvious.  The fuggin rigged draft is something only an idiot wouldn’t see.  But the NBA is 100% about big market money.  It’s not even a real league.  It’s 10 teams that have a shot.

      This response is absolutely and utterly insane, I've literally this same thing out multiple times in previous posts about mock drafts, like a bunch of times. I've never once denied it's a possibility of them going #1, I've just said that I wouldn't take them there. And YET AGAIN, you're proving that you don't believe they are elite QB prospects, you literally just said "first prospects off the board REGARDLESS OF TALENT" It's literally what I've been saying this whole time, these QB's don't have the draft grades to deserve that pick.  They're only being mocked there because mocks are trying to predict the draft, not saying who deserves to be drafted where.   Dude, this is exactly why I question your reading comprehension skills.  You keep trying to say you got me with something, but in those exact posts you're just proving my points, the literal opposite of catching me in some lie or moment of ignorance.
