Schefter: 49ers plan to offer head coach job to Kyle Shanahan whenever Falcons season ends

Hopefully this doesn't spook the GM candidates...we're kind of going cart before the horse on the original plan for letting a GM hire his head coach. We shall see I guess.

Makes sense and is why Cable dropped out.

Why would Kyle NOT take the job, it is the only one left now. If he wants to seize the opportunity, now is the time.....as long as he gets his GM.

Kyle is only 37 years old. If he really feels like the 49ers job is really poor, he can decide to wait until next year and go after openings then. IDK what he is thinking

Seems like they have abandoned that strategy awhile ago.

Yeap...there were so many candidates for both positions that their plan became muddled in my eyes. Looks like they have their guy now (HC)...but have to wait to offer the job which could be 3 weeks. Maybe they will turn their focus on the GM spot now...just glad it wasn't Cable though.

Me too brother. Cable would have been a disaster.

Pretty sure they met with Cable out of respect, but they were really there to work on those GM candidates.

That, and to pick at a brain of a fellow NFC West team and get their input on our own talent.

We're supposed to meet with Shannahan and Wolfe next week...wouldn't mind that duo at all.

 

[Ricky Roma]

Considering the many alternatives, I'd consider that duo a late Christmas gift, and that Jed is lucky that the 49ers carry a lot of good history on its side. Still not a done deal, so.....

Yes, until it is official I will be crossing my fingers that it actually happens. If it doesn't, things will get messy. If it does happen I am actually looking forward to the draft and free agency period this year to see what happens.

if Shanahan becomes HC and he is paired either Wolf or Guntehurst, the fan base will be on board and very happy. But look down the road for 3-4 years, say this pair doesn't get the team off the ground? The SAME fan base will be calling Jed an idiot for signing these same two guys.

I have a different take. I think the fans that really don't like Jed are not going to change their opinions because of these hires. In fact, I haven't seen the vitriol stop yet. Only winning is going to quiet that crowd down. I don't think the fans are going to rip the Shanahan hire whether it works out or not. Fans ripped him for Tomsula because it was evident from the start it was a bad hire. I don't see fans ripping him for Kelly as I do for keeping Baalke around too long

As long as York fades into the shadows after the hire...I think the fans will back the decisions. He's horrible in front of the media and comes off as a smarmy silver spooned shitbag. His inexperience got WAY in front of him after the Harbaugh debacle and he followed Baalkes word too often. That little equation equals the fans disdain for the man. Whether he likes it or not, he needs to realize that he needs to be the owner that sits in the box and goes to work every other day. Not talking...just shut up you sound stupid when you talk.

But if you think about it, he has hardly been public, hardly been in the media. when it comes to hiring and firing, he has no choice but to be. But otherwise he stays in the shadows.

I'm not defending him 100%, because as Owner chit comes with the territory. But lets at least blame him for things he REALLY does. He is not a meddling Owner (football things), nothing close to what Snyder used to do, Al Davis, and Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones sits the war room and makes the call, does Jed even sit in the war room?

 

[Pattersonca65]

When 49ers told Kyle Shanahan he’s their guy, Dan Quinn told Falcons assistants

Interesting story. Sounds like Shanahan will be coach unless York completely screws this up

True, but he has come forward at the end of each season when a coach is fired. And unfortunately for him his press conferences have been a disaster when has had them. It has made him look that much worse. And when he made the comparison of Jim Tomsula to Steve Kerr, those kinds of comments just make him look foolish.

Hope that Shanahan is not a Dinosaur!! Make my Day!!

 

[Ricky Roma]

Assuming Shanahan is the hire (I still want to see it official, just because)

Jed gets a bit of a pass from me at this point. The Harbaugh thing was a mistake compounded by other mistakes that really exploded in his face, and I have to think that the experience may have taught him something. It looks as if he went through this latest process trying to find guys who can work together, while also finding the top guys available as well. We may never get back to the Harbaugh level again, but it could've so much worse that Shanahan/GM-to-be.

As for what the new guys will do....Jed needs to give them years to make things happen...before we can really judge them. At least I am looking forward to see what the immediate future holds for us, and there really was no way I could say that if Tom Cable was the HC.
