SF is about as good of a job as you'll get. Much better than something like NJ or Cleveland last year.I'm going to assume that means that McDaniels is the guy the 49ers would want most.
If McDaniels is smart, he'll wait until Belichick retires and take over the NEP.
Despite the gaudy numbers in his contract, it's my understanding that Kaepernick can be cut painlessly. The 49ers brass was savvy and crafted a deal that sounded impressive but didn't tie them down: http://deadspin.com/colin-kaepernicks-126-million-contract-is-remarkably-1586520353
I don't know how anyone could think the Falcons job is better than SF's. Atlanta's defense is a mess, with virtually nothing to build around, particularly on the line. The RBs are lousy and the offensive line is weak. Basically, all you have is a QB and some WRs.
As much as SF has fallen off, and as hard as their division looks right now, they have significantly more talent on their entire roster. Both teams have decent ownership and a willingness to stand by coaches, so that isn't really a factor.
The only argument I can think of is that Kap is a mess and confidence at QB is a non-negotiable, no matter how everything else stands.
Josh for being a pass happy mercenary prick, leaving us in limbo, again.
i have someone in mindThen who would we blame when things don't go perfect on offense?
i have someone in mind
11-17 as a head coach with the Broncos
Coordinated the 32nd ranked scoring offense in 2011 on the Rams
Coordinated top level offenses with Brady, Moss, Gronk, etc.
IMO, his resume doesn't look that pretty. I'm surprised his name is always mentioned with numerous jobs.
They didn't give away an entire draft. They flipped 2011 firsts for
2011 2nd
2011 4th
2012 1st
2012 4th
That's a big price, but 4 draft picks is not why that team has struggled in the past 2 seasons.
Remember that time Brady threw a pick trying to hit Brian Tyms deep and it was McDaniels fault? What a stupid play call.
They didn't "give away a whole draft" for one player, they only spent 2 firsts, a second and 2 fourths on the player? Pardon my math, but I'm pretty sure that adds up to more than one draft's worth of picks.
That trade certainly isn't the only reason for the dearth of talent on the current Atlanta roster. But I feel pretty confident that if Dimitroff could do it over again, he wouldn't (even though Jones is a tremendous player).
