49ers DC Greg Manusky to interivew with the panthers

[Sloth]

Oh look, another candidate we could pay 8 dollars an hour to coach.

[Baschski]

Also, fans need to relax about the "no defensive coaches" thing. Just because you didn't like Fox doesn't mean every defensive coach is going to be like him. DC's are often very successful head coaches.

[Boltergeist]

Anyone know if he has any previous experience with 4-3 defenses? The 49ers run a 3-4 defense..

Not as a coach .... he was on Marty's staff in WAS and SD before taking the SF job.

Apparently some of you haven't looked around the league lately

lulz we have 2 pay sum1 8 millyun dollerz a year or else they sux.

Singletary was their D.C. before he was promoted to HC, so Manusky couldn't have been a D.C. before the last few games of 2008. I think we're starting to get a profile on the type of coach we're looking for, though. Think young defensive coordinators.

I fully expect a Sean McDermott interview soon.

Played for Tony Dungy and Monte Kiffin in Minnesota.

Was the Chargers LB coach for five years prior to joining the Niners.

The 49ers defense from 2007-today(by points per game, not total yards)

2007 - 20th ranked defense

2008 - 23rd ranked defense

2009 - 4th ranked defense

2010 - 16th ranked defense

That IS impressive!

[Dpantherman]

Did I mention that this was Just an interview and he hasn't been hired???

EPIC FAIL...sing doesnt know anything about X and O's...he was linebacker's coach.

[kdrh5]

Their defense wasn't the problem last year.

this...we failed to improve our pass-rush, i dont even begin to talk about the secondary b/c it could look better if the pass-rush were constantly existent.

[rmoneyg35]

I wonder if we plan on swiching to a 3-4 defense? We do have pretty good linebackers and maybe Everette Brown could change to a 3-4 pass rusher where he might be more successful?

[KillerKat]

Dont understand. The 49ers run a 3-4.
