2017 John Lynch hired as GM & Kyle Shanahan named HC

[wartyOne]

The Yorks should have hired a consultant to at least give us some credible names to interview out there in the market. It's a moot point now because they've already started the search; and it may sound stupid because the NFL business is pretty much consist of small world where everyone knows each other in that industry (so why hire a consultant when the circle is so small and thus you could do the search yourself). For that reason I'm sure it sounds stupid to spend money on a consultant to help you sort out options... but the Yorks seems clueless in being able to identify the people with the brightest minds to do this job. Spending a couple hundred thousands on a firm to do a diligent search on our behalf and then provide us with reasons why a candidate would be best suited for that particular position is not a bad idea in my opinion. The Yorks need all the help they can in getting a right GM and I'm not so confident that they'll be able to not let their own biases interfere in the selection process.

Of course they don't. That's a ridiculous assertion. Just ask Jed, or his pal Pargie (yes, I'm intentionally spelling his name incorrectly every time I spell it from now on unless he does something that rremotelyresembles a positive move for this franchise).

Of course, I'm being completely sarcastic. I envision this search will go as poorly as they all have with the exception of stumbling upon Harbaugh who happened to say "Sure, I guess."

Fans are okay in allowing Jed to find the right person for the job. The man needs help with this tumultuous task. 4 years from now everyone here will place blame on the new GM for being inept, but the reality is that it was never this person's fault to begin with because he was not totally qualified to perform that role.

I love that I'm responding to you specifically with this...

...BINGO!!!!

I've been screaming that the Yorks are the problem for years. I didn't believe Jed was the answer to John 10 years ago. I still don't. Until the Yorks are removed from making decisions regarding the football team, the 49ers will be a dumpster fire. Fans should have jumped off this sinking ship with the rats three seasons ago. The writing was on the wall back then. For some reason, people refuse to read it.

Mike Silver says McVay will interview with 49ers on Monday morning in NYC.

I could get behind hiring this guy.

Why are they interviewing head coaches before GMs? This makes no sense.

Because Jed York is an incompetent, arrogant jackass. I, without a single doubt in my mind, fully expect another top 3 pick in the draft for the next five years.

For the record, my cats are more qualified to pick successful football personnel than Jed York is. That shouldn't be surprising. The garbage that got picked up in front of my house on Wednesday is also more qualified to pick successful football personnel than Jed York is.

Exactly whom can we hire at GM that would be considered subpar to mediocre who would want the position knowing that Dipshi...er...Jed hired the coach before the GM was even consulted? If dummy York was serious about a culture change, he would have fired Baalke when the team went 1-4, installed Sackorpick as the starting QB and proceeded to lose the next 10 games, back in October and hired his replacement then so that the GM could ACTUALLY hire his next HC.

To sum up, I fully expect Jed and Parphloogie to hire the worst candidates possible. I trust their ability to screw this up bar none. I in no way believe that a single mid-level hire is even remotely considering accepting this garbage heap of a job offer. I will be outright shocked if anybody with aspirations of having a successful NFL career even picks up the phone when Jed and Punkrag call (though I strongly doubt that Jed and Farfignugen even have a clue who those people are).

That's exactly my point!! How can folks not see that there's a problem with that process. It seems so backwards to me. Very frustrating to say the least.

On the Chris Ballard front: it was reported that Chiefs GM Dorsey hasn't signed a contract extension and it runs out soon. He's been linked to the Packers job and the thinking is that they are worried about losing him. So Ballard would be the guy to replace Dorsey.

That brings further questions about Wolf and his future with Green Bay

Josh McDaniels is said to prefer the 49ers over any other team and Louis Riddick has already said he would accept the job, and he and Josh are friends on top of it. So I am not sure where this negativity is coming from. But its wearing thin.

I actually don't see any problem with the way they are doing the search. The team has stated that they are looking for a GM and Coach who are compatible and I believe that's what they're going to get.

The GM's that they are considered are all qualified and well respected, the team is interviewing all of the top HC candidates out there. Most importantly, it's not a coincidence that each HC candidate has a GM candidate that matches with them.

There is certainly precedence for this type of thing, ideally you want your GM to be a great match for the HC

I don't see the problem with the process as long as they don't hire the coach before the GM or if they do it's because they already know the coach and GM want to work together.

You have 5 other teams in the market for a coach and two of the hottest candidates have small interview windows so it's not a bad idea to touch base with guys to see how much interest they have in your team and potential GM candidates you're considering. Because since you're trying to pair the GM and coach as partners you don't want to hire the GM and find out none of the coaches want to work with him.

The only thing I'm concerned with is York's reputation scaring off top tier guys and they'll have to settle for someone willing to take the job.

To add it was the Chiefs that denied Ballard from interviewing not Ballard rejecting the interview. Which makes sense now if the Chiefs are worried about Dorsey leaving for GB eventually.

Also it was reported that the 49ers were impressed with both Packers execs so if Wolf feels like he's going to be blocked and he and McDaniels will be buddy buddy I can see Wolf to the 9ers gain some steam.

[wco81]

McDaniel sounds like major ****, worse than Lane Kiffin as far as burning bridges.

Can he have matured in 5 years?

Will he be able to attract top assistants or does he have a certain rep?

On the bright side, he might make life hell for Jed and Paraag, especially if they try to butt in with their football ideas.

Jed didn't like Harbaugh being openly disdainful of him or blowing off alll the non coaching stuff, like the events for inaugurating Levi's. Apparently McDaniels didn't want to be bothered with any non football stuff, including off field issues with players. So maybe even worse than Harbaugh when it comes to kissing the owners ass.

But that would be great if he told Paraag to go pound sand if he tried to interject anything about football.

Only concern is if he tried to steamroll the coaches, players and even the GM.

We haven't signed McDaniels yet. I'm still holding out hope for Shanahan and Wolf. Please please Broncos go with someone else.

I guess Chip Kelly will be taking over at Cal. They just fired Sonny Dykes.

[Ray_Dogg]

If I were Shaw I'd give some more consideration to taking the 49ers job now haha.

From everything I've read, they can't afford him

His tenure at Denver is a concern but I tend to believe it was a case of someone too young, given too much power, and was trying to hard to be Belichick.

I actually like the fact he's been a head coach and failed at it because that experience can be a great learning experience because he's seen what he did wrong and he's had 5 years to think about it and fix it. And when you have the experience that he did you have no choice but to be humble and look hard at yourself.

After 5 years and his success with the Pats I don't think he'll have much issue with getting assistants. Mike McCoy was his OC at Denver and he could potentially be his OC again and I suspect Vrabel will be on his radar for DC as well.

Ok. Simply put. Taking Jed and Paraag out of the picture. Who would you like to see get an interview or be under consideration for the two jobs? Outside of never having to see or utter Jed and Paraag's face and name again, what else would you hope to see? What would a realistic Warty interview list look like? I say realistic because wishing a Jim Harbaugh return or a Belichick hire, if you're in that camp, is obviously not realistic, and frankly not worth anybody's time anymore.

Michael Silver:

Both Patriots coordinators, Josh McDaniels & Matt Patricia, made positive impressions on Rams in HC interviews yesterday...

[Ray_Dogg]

I guess Chip Kelly will be taking over at Cal. They just fired Sonny Dykes.

They wouldn't be paying him. Jed would. The beauty of gtd money. Sign him for cheap and Jed picks up the rest in the offset.

Looks like the problem is Cal has a self-imposed 3.0 GPA for high school guys coming in. Good luck with that.

49ers doing GM interviews with Seattle's Trent Kirchner and Scott Fitterer a week from Monday, and HC interview with Tom Cable next Sunday.
