It's been mentioned a time or two that the 49ers bought Super Bowl back in '94. How so? I can't remember any big name signings back them or trades. I think that was the year they had Deion Sanders, right? Who else am I missing?

From the article:

In 1994, the team spent large amounts of money on the addition of several star free agents from other teams, including Ken Norton, Jr., Gary Plummer, Rickey Jackson, and Deion Sanders.

Gary Plummer wasn't as big of an impact player, but he was a tackling machine. 800 tackles with the Chargers over 8 years. 1029 over 11.

Deion Sanders doesn't really need any further explaining, really.

The biggest thing that the 49ers and Eagles have in common, though, is that they were both very close to being a SB team, already. This is not like the Raiders or Redskins going out and trying to convert a 6-10 team into a Super Bowl champion in one year, this is adding the final pieces to a very strong team. It's quite scary.

I'm not saying those players weren't good in their time, I'm saying they were past their prime except Deion Sanders and maybe Norton.

I guess I just don't see how it can be said the 49ers bought the Super Bowl, but that's because I don't remember it.

Nnamdi is 30 years old, Babin is 31, Jenkins is 30... They're not exactly getting these guys in their prime, either.

Can't really blame the Niners then though. They had to get Steve Young SOMETHING.

I dunno maybe those players on the 49ers were 30/31 too? I dunno. I just don't see the 49ers having bought the Super Bowl. They didn't go Yankee's on it.

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
