I dont think he went out in search of a HC with a low budget in mind i think his thought process was he wanted someone with an experienced defensive mind to come in because JR has always been about the D.

 

Who was available when we were hiring that was a high value coach?

 

Pete Carroll in 2010 when we let Fox stick around as a lame duck. Harbaugh when we hired Rivera, and Chip Kelly in this off season who is an absolute slam dunk fit with our QB.  JR's coaching search was cheap as hell. There's really no way to justify not going after a dynamic Head Coach when we had the #1 pick in the draft and basically a clean slate in 2011...

Let's be real honest here.

 

The smart move was to:

 

1. Usher both Hurney and Fox out the door at the same time.  

 

2. Find a true "football guy" to be the GM, and let him run the show with none oversight that we all think has been going on here.

 

3. Get a real offensive guy to either be the HC or be a highly paid OC to help Cam progress.

 

4. Win playoff games.

I think we were looking for a new HC because Fox wasnt producing any W's. The same reason we are going to be looking for a new HC next year.

 

Fox went into 2010 knowing he wasn't being brought back. Big Cat said as much during his presser in 11. He said he wasn't going to pay 12 million to buy Fox and his staff out, and then have to go and get a new coaching staff too. That is the definition of cheap when you have a billion dollar business....

2010 & and last year doesn't count because we had a coach so you cant say being cheap has anything to do with that.

 

I agree Harbaugh would have been a much better choice but the reality is he was going to SF and we never stood a chance at signing him on, What other high value coach was on the market he could of paid up for?

You have a coach who wasn't getting it done, and you're not willing to spend the money to get a guy who can.  That actually is the definition of cheap man....

Honestly im not sure if hes stuck in the past or if hes just that cheap. Either way, hes an awful owner that good coaches dont want anything to do with. I dont think we had a shot in hell getting pete or harbaugh.

We didn't even try though. That's what the problem is.

Who was there to spend money on????

 

Harbaugh wasnt coming here......

 

He had a clean fuging slate and the #1 pick. Unless JR wasn't willing to give him personnel control that's a pretty nice setup.  Keep saying he wasn't coming here, but the fact is we didn't even try to bring him here....
