gopherwrestler Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Like I was saying before wouldn’t be surprised to see Kwesi and the rest of the staff to just look for a veteran DC to pair with any of these younger head coach candidates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Kwesi overlapped with Fangio in SF, still my dream scenario if we end up with an O-minded HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the name. A good article on how Ryans/Kocurek schemed well regardless of the talent that they had in SF: https://www.ninersnation.com/2022/1/5/22867303/san-francisco-49ers-demeco-ryans-kris-kocurek-creative-pass-rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 I wonder who Kwesi's agent is. Sure seems like "agents" are really pairing their guys up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 One thing I'm not understanding is the hate for Gannon to be a HC on the Twitter World. Haven't seen it as much on here but.... What makes him less qualified than someone like Ryans? Is it just a less familiar name? Everywhere he's went the defensive back room has been excellent. Eagles defense was also pretty dang good the whole second half of the year after he made some key adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth, Chad Greenway spoke highly of Gannon on a recent episode of PA on KFAN. That piqued my interest. Later I heard he did very well in his recent interviews. If KAM decides he the best candidate, I have no problem with him as our next HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles defense was also pretty dang good the whole second half of the year after he made some key adjustments. I think it’s the perception of defensive success. Fans can see the success that Ryans has had this year in SF, so they naturally attribute it to his ability to be a HC. While Gannon’s defense was simply ok, therefore he can’t be as good. Too many fans don’t understand that being a HC is completely different than being a coordinator. I’d be very curious about Gannon. Oddly similar to Tomlin. Tomlin wasn’t an Xs and Os genius. The defense under him in his only year as DC was solid but it certainly had its issues. But the Steelers didn’t hire Tomlin because of what his defense did on the field. He was hired because he blew them away with his ability to communicate, and they loved his ability to lead and motivate a locker room. Is Gannon that guy?

NorthCountryEvo Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 My top pick would be Morris, with Ryans as a close second. Wouldn’t mind KOC either. With Morris having experience coaching on both sides of the ball, I feel like he is best suited to step back, allow his coordinators to implement his system, and for him to tinker and adjust things slightly to his liking as more of an overall observer rather than as a defensive minded guy. This would allow us to bring in coordinators who will have more free reign and that could be enticing for them. My question is more about McDaniel: has he even been interviewed for the head coaching spot yet? The guy intrigues me a lot, but I feel like I’d rather him be the OC than head coach because I can’t wrap my head around a guy with his stature and personality fitting with my perception of a head coach (and that doesn’t mean my perception is correct). As a side note, I also want to echo that I hope we retain Patterson and Keenan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Ryans but another thing that concerns me about him is that he took over an already great defense that was run (built?) by Saleh the past few years. How much of the success is because of him and how much is because of his predecessor. Edited January 27, 2022 by Hamsterdam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) If the three finalists are Ryans, O'Connell and Morris please give me O'Connell and keep Cousins round for a season or two. Imagine scheming up Jefferson like the Rams do Kupp? We'd be able to field a top 5 offense if KAM can fix the O-line. O'connell from Zimmer also follows on from the 180 degree turn from Spielman to KAM Edited January 27, 2022 by viking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think I saw on here that the Vikings were at least potentially bringing people in to interview last night. Do we know if that happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
