Ted Thompson should consider going after a couple free agents for defense...Or he could get the best DC in the world and HE and Mike McCarthy will still both lose their jobs.

I doubt that. More likely if the team struggles next year they could be both out, irrespective of who or how many FAs they target.

Thats much closer to the truth then agopack's comment.

It amazes me how some people think that Ted Thompson and MM are ONLY concerned with the money part. Does anyone really thing thats it? What faster way to lose their jobs then to NOT try to find the best assistant coaches and players then they can get.
But a GOOD GM looks at all the aspects. Otherwise you kill your teams future for alot of "maybes" by destroying your team with salary cap problems. Ted Thompson has got the team where they can now get some players to hopefully put together a run for many years, not just a one time shot.

Now.....if they DO tank this coming season, they may just find themselves out. And i'm SURE they realize that. That is why the major shakeup on the D coaching and special teams coaching sides.

I myself am willing to see what they can do now, before calling for their heads.
We weren't that far from doing well this past year, and were only really blown out in one game. This coming season will tell all as far as just how close we are to building a long time powerhouse, or a long time dissapointment.

interesting read,like the fact Ted is kind of saying look at other people don't settle on one person the guy hit the nail on the head.When he said 49ers defense wasn't all that good with Nolan around and so true we need a coach who will be ,aggressive and go hard every time they take the field.

I think you have to judge a guy on his entire coaching career, not just his last, MM would have never been hired had Ted Thompson just looked at his work in San Fransisco. There offense was terrible, yet MM was hired.

Nolan is probably as good as anyone our there, nobody will know until the hiring actually happens what Ted Thompson and MM are thinking,

The depth of the salary cap issue and payroll has only been lightly addressed as regards the 2009 season. Nonstop is working on the issue, and I have been looking into the issue extensively also. My perspective is that Ted Thompson is doing a magnificent job in placing this team in a position to explore all options, at least from the money standpoint. The argument that he is money-centric or whatever...I will leave to others.

We have PLENTY of money and cap room. I'm not going to steal non-stop's thunder on this, but I will say this. With all of the machinations that went on, including the latest "bogus bonus" given out on the 26th of December, the "Cap Guy" that I follow came within 19 dollars of the Packers final cap figure for 2008, and he has some fantastic news for 2009, especially in the "dead money" arena. He published in November...the dude is good. Ted Thompson may or may not be "cheap", but he is damn sure smart, imo.
