The guy we couldn't get as OC last year is now going to be our WR coach

Not a smart move to keep Mangini. I hope Kelly doesnt do this. Rumor has it he might stay. I do not like this move.

Sports-talk radio host has scouting report on Kelly's prototypical players - 49ers Hot Read



Count Middlekauff among those curious to see how Kelly works with maligned quarterback Colin Kaepernick. “(Kelly) was big on accuracy and decision making,” Middlekauff said. “Those two things, for Colin, are in the weakness category.”



All NFL QB's need accuracy and decision making. agree Kaep doesn't have enough accuracy, and doesn't have decision making.

I never saw so many clueless people on the main board. I have a Dallas fan and Seattle fan trying to tell me 49ers made the worst hire ever. No Tomsula was the worst hire. Any way u look at it its an up grade for the 49ers. Will it work out who knows but right now its an up grade and we should be better next year.

Is Colin Kaepernick a good fit for Chip Kelly?
GC: Yes and No. Because ultimately in the NFL your quarterback still has to be able to make different kinds of throws and make quick decisions and throw it accurately. Those are not Colin Kaepernick's strengths. ... The one thing I can tell you, every time Chip Kelly talked about quarterbacks in Philadelphia, he used the same phrase, "repetitive accuracy." He said that a thousand times in Philadelphia. Now unless he was just applying it to Philly because he didn't have a quarterback who could run and he was just being practical, no one can answer that. But if he truly believes that, you've kind of answered your own question.
On importance of running ability for a Chip Kelly quarterback:
GC: I think ultimately he needs a quarterback who does have some running ability. But what I just don't know with Chip Kelly is how much he sees the quarterback running in the NFL. What I find interesting is that now you find a lot of people assuming automatically that you're going to see Colin Kaepernick be like, let's say, a Russell Wilson or a Cam Newton. What's fascinating is that this year the reason why those guys took another step is the way they threw the ball from the pocket, not because they could run around.
On Blaine Gabbert being a fit:
GC: I could easily see Gabbert being more effective in Chip's offense than Kaepernick. Now one of the problems that Chip has had in the NFL is he likes to get five (pass catchers) out, which increases the pressure on your quarterback. And that's not Gabbert's strength. And you need a really good o-line, which he did not have in Philly and which he certainly does not have in San Francisco as we speak right now.

I don't care what those two think of the hire whoever they are. I was really against it and have concerns about some things but am done complaining. Have to see how it works. The positive is he does know offense and can get something more out of QBs. Won't take much to improve over last year and even Harbaugh's offense

Word is 49ers and Chip are going BIG at DC. Can some one say Lovie Smith. That would be awesome.

Incumbent special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey -- as well as assistant, Richard Hightower -- in running for #49ers ST job, per source.

 

[Niner Outlaw]

Considering how bad our STs were this year, how on earth can we even consider keeping McGaughey? It makes keeping Mangini look like a no-brainer. We were terrible in kick and punt coverage and it seemed like every time down the field our return units were flagged for something.

Chip Kelly may not hire a staff by Wed., but he's working on it. A key OC candidate for #49ers: #Lions run-game coordinator Curtis Modkins

Press conference time. Lets see what chip and baalke have to say.

 

[purguy12]

York and baalke said this was an easy decision. No one was close to Kelly. He blew their mind with his future plans with the 49ers.

 

[purguy12]

side of relief, we have a head coach that knows how to talk in a press conference. I already see the upgrade from Tomsula. LOL

Light years...

 

[purguy12]

Great questions so far.

 

[smackdown380]

It is a good thing he can talk during the presser but let's see if that translates to on the field success.

[purguy12]

Man Im getting fired up. Night and day from Tomsula.

Bring on the season. LOL

 

[purguy12]

Damn Chip is quick, and straight forward with his answers. Love it. We have a leader. Now like someone said lets see what he can do on the field.
