I don’t believe that McDaniels wanted Podesta fired, he wanted to be in charge of Podesta. I believe that in McDaniels’ mind he should be elevated above Haslam.

Yes, they would do that in case Stefanski said no because Haslam is insane.

As for McDaniels. It’s widely reported he wanted wholesale front office changes. Depodesta contract was about to expire. Why would Mcdaniels keep a useless baseball guy around?

He doesn’t. He reports to the owner and the coach reports to the owner. Typical Haslam. I think a homeless guy told him to draft me in round 1

He’s had a lot of oline success in his career. Good get as an oline coach as I know he’s highly regarded

I was very sad to learn that his name is pronounced like ‘baton’ and not like ‘Patton’. Nonetheless he seems to be respected around the league. I have not been overwhelmed by the GM candidates that were announced but that’s what you get when they report to the HC.

14 years in the NFL with the same team, coaching almost every offensive position group, working his way up to OC and calling plays for over 1 season…. that’s zero qualifications in Soup’s book.

Soup you’re no longer qualified to comment.

Sorry @shooter but 1 year as an OC when someone else developed the offense (it’s written in 5 articles that it was Kubiaks offense design) does not make you qualified to be a head coach.

Who did Depodesta want last year to be coach? Stefanski. (After 3 whole games as an interim OC)

Why wasn’t Mcdaniels hired? He wanted wholesale front office changes (aka Depodesta fired)

You actually think this was a real process?

Stefanski has zero qualifications. Stefanski is who baseball guy wanted last year. If Mcdaniels we’re here bas…[Read more]

Greg Robinson was amazingly mediocre.

It’s not like we had a LT on the roster this year anyway

Do we have the horses for that? It requires blockers who are fast and effective at the 2nd level. Right now we’re built of big maulers. Tretter and Bitonio are really the only guys we need to build around. We don’t have a left tackle under contract.

Guess we’ll have to wait another couple weeks to name our OC….

Love it. It’s a shame our HC is going to call plays and pass constantly.

But how do you like the 49ers offensive scheme?

It was called sarcasm. We hired a guy who never designed an offense over a guy making Aaron Rodgers look like Deshon Kizer.

I’m not sure what that has to do with our OC, but at the point you posted this the 49ers defense is shutting out the Packers, holding them to under 100 yards and has recovered a fumble.

One can only assume you’re an idiot.

Is it?

That’s purely a guess. Last year was the first time Stefanski ever had an offense similar and it’s because Kubiak designed it.

Saleh has been awful today. SF D looks lost…

@Soup I hope you’re watching the 49ers game. Like their offense? That’s what is coming here, along with one of their OC’s.
