Why don't they have a chance in hell of being hired? They are leading some of the top special teams units in the NFL.


A lot of good Head Coaches were not off/def coordinators and it seems the most successful coordinators don't end up being good coaches. e.g. Wade Phillips, Norv Turner, Gregg Williams, etc.

He might have some major input...so what?

And lets say he was leading the charge and calling the plays....and lets say he was lights out...why not?!?! To be frank with you, I think he is the smartest guy on the premises anyway.

If he's lights out, more power to him.

I'm thinking the Titans OC?

The 49ers don't currently have an OC, as their head coach Kyle Shanahan is their OC... but if they were to have one... who would it be? Maybe Matt LaFleur who is the current Titans OC...

Why do I say that... because with the exception of 2014, Matt LaFleur has been on the same teams as Kyle Shanahan from 2008 to 2016 ... which include time together with the Texans, Redskins and Falcons. LaFleur was the QB coach with the Redskins and Falcons.

So what happened in 2014? Browns head coach Mike Pettine hired Kyle Shanahan to be OC, and someone hired Dowell Loggains as QB coach (while LaFleur was QB coach with Notre Dame). According to the reports, Browns ownership was trying to force rookie QB Johnny Football on the field and Shanahan tried to stop it as much as possible... Ownership finally won and got Johnny Football on the field and Shanahan (rightfully) left that ownership was doing the coaching. Which is why I wonder might be one reason Pettine never wants to be head coach again, because as he said, head coach is 90% management and he wants 90% to be about football. Shanahan/LaFleur would join back up with the Falcons and Loggains went on to coach under John Fox with the Bears.


But in 2017 both Shanahan and Sean McVay (who also worked with them with the Redskins) both got head coaching jobs... and LaFleur ended up as OC with the Rams (maybe because Shanahan wanted to be his own OC)... but McVay called the plays... and in 2018 LaFleur left for the Titans so that he could be top offensive guy and call the plays. The Titans offense has struggled, but I think that could be partly their lack of players talent... MM's 49ers offense also struggled.




Also maybe the Saints OC, because Mike McCarthy was the Saints OC before becoming the 49ers OC. Though Pete Carmichael Jr. has been the Saints OC for 10 years now... I'm not sure he wants to go anywhere.

Just adding onto the theories... and info.

I want Lincoln Riley and also bring his Qb from college. I would love to see the Packers run this type of offense, Rodgers could put up his numbers and claim to be the GOAT and we should win lol. He doesn't worry about defense which means we can stay the same there.

Too late. Scott Boras has already announced that Kyler Murray won't play pro football . He's going to play for the Oakland A's instead. No joke.

I don’t think a college coach is the answer

whoever they hire I hope the coach has the players practice outside in Nov/Dec twice a week instead of sticking the balls into a freezer and/or opening the doors in the Hutson Center. Let's get back to being a team from the north instead of a quasi dome team.

I thought the same thing and then realized Scott Boras doesn't make any money if Kyler chooses football. This is a good tactic to make teams on the fence back off considering drafting him. There has been some talk that the football playoffs mike make Kyler commit to football.

He's 5'10" and at QB, I'm not sure there's much hope for him in the NFL. Baseball is probably where he should go. Get a longer career, probably better post athlete life and of course guaranteed cash.

They should bring in Winston Moss.
