TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) 17 hours ago, Forge said: Yeah, but that's not just on Harbs. Trent Baalke, who has had a history of spotty relationships in the past as well...definitely responsible for some of the mess the 49ers found themselves in post 2014 That was definitely a situation where two guys made that substantially more of a disaster than if it were just one them being hard to deal with. Also, I'd argue that the wave of retirements and whatnot really crippled the team just from a talent perspective which exacerbated the fallout Hopefully Harbs waits a while before he tells Dean Spanos that the locker room meeting is for the men only. Yikes. Edited February 2 by TecmoSuperJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I didn't know a lot about Canales before, but I was impressed by what TB did this year. Edit: misread where Coen was going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nicest dudes. Coaches throughout his playing career called him the smartest player they've ever worked with. EVERYONE loves the guy. Magnanimous personality. Just one of the best leaders of men, but also knows schemes and picks things up super quick. He's a fantastic coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, he could end up being the best of the bunch or the worst. I think we just don't know what he did in Cincinnati that suggests how he'll do as a HC. It was Taylor's offense and Taylor called plays. Obviously Callahan had input as the OC, but we don't know how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have met him and talked with him before too but I don’t have any idea how he will actually handle being the head coach now. I have some faith in him because of the Kraft’s HC hiring track record and also because of Mayo the person, but I hope that you’re right and it translates.

He comes from a family and coaching tree of successful coaches? He understands what modern offenses are supposed to look like? He is a very down to earth, and intelligent individual? But omg he didn't call plays Ps he has also hired a fantastic staff so far, IMO. Better than anything Vrabel had in his 6 years here.

Sugashane Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 From the outside looking in: Most impressive coach hired - Harbaugh, I wanted him in Chicago bad. Most impressive coaching hire decision - Raiders, I think Pierce did a hell of a job and earned the role, I was concerned they would go big name hunting and overlook the guy that was right there and doing well. Least impressive coach - Dan Quinn. I just feel like he is the transition guy, the guy they hire to help get stability then take a bigger swing after he helps lay the foundation. Seems like a very John Fox-ish hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatKing Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The Raiders hiring Antonio Pierce was a classic Raiders move. He'll be gone in two years and everyone will wonder why he even got the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After throwing all that money at Gruden and McDaniels (and still paying them both) I never thought he was even a real option TBF. Harbaugh was my top option as well. I wanted him in CHI when he split from SF, when the Bears hired Eberflus, and this offseason though. Edited February 2 by Sugashane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperX22 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Most underrated hire: Callahan I'm surprised at how many posters are crapping on that hire. Far from the most impressive hire, but a very solid hire for a team with a young QB in a rebuilding process. Most impressive: McDonald Seattle is maybe a good defense away from being a legitimate threat even with a JAG at QB. Impressed they had the patience to wait it out and get their guy. Worst: Dan Quinn You basically just replaced RR with the same guy. Way to inspire confidence in the fanbase that had checked out. You basically just signaled despite the ownership chance it's status quo business as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Harbaugh would have had much interest in that job anyway with better jobs available. The Raiders did the right thing even if it doesn't pan out.
