Hey Ho, Haslett has to go! (or maybe not)

He's certainly a good coach, always liked Crennel and his players seem to respect him. He knows his stuff. However I'd prefer we go out and get a young guy and not a retread.

Mangini is great on tv, love listening to him. Does he even want to coach anymore?

Yeah I don't see the point in switching now, and I seriously doubt it will happen. Shanahan came here with the intent of having a 3-4 defense. I don't think he's going to give up on that.

Hey Mat or Smot. I was listening to 980 and they are talking about Shanny. One thing that got me is they said if shanny leaves the possibility of cerrato coming back. I spazzed out... In your opinion how would you react if that happened. If that did happended I would be done with this team. If the 980host said "I would be done with this team".

when you look at our numbers, our rushing defense is very solid, even with our injuried players out-which says our scheme works. If we revamped our secondary with a new starter at FS, Merriweather at SS, J Wilson at 2nd CB, new #1 CB, and a round 2 or 3 CB or Crawford at the Nickle with both Orakpo and underrated Carriker back in the line up rushing the passer...I think we see a defense in the top half of the league, maybe a top ten.

I see no point in switching to a 4-3 either. We've been drafting for the 3-4 and it can be very effective with the right personell and coaching.

who is talking about switching back to a 4-3?

I don't think Snyder would be that dumb.

well its in the discussion if we get a new defensive coridnator. Its pretty much a given Haslett is gone after the season. So if we hire someone who runs a 4-3, obvious it would set us back do to personel. Its a legit question.

i think shanny is committed to the 3-4, can't see him bringing someone in to run a 4-3.

Couldn't agree more and when it's all in place the Offense will also look even better.

Hate saying 'Next year', but that's the way it's headed.

i'm already on 2014 w the cap penalties, any success before then is a welcome surprise.

You can give Cofield the benefit of the doubt, which I do, and say he's out of position.

The rest is just blah. Guys that for one reason or another don't contribute much, but the overarching theme is we spent a wad of cash on high-risk/uncertain reward type players. Garcon and Morgan have done nothing in their careers up to this point to justify what they were given. I don't care that another franchise may have given them the same. How are those franchises doing btw? The Niners clearly let Morgan walk, and appear to be better off because of it, no?

In short, Mike's FA moves overall have been a gigantic failure, as were Cerrato's. It's the reaction (talking about fans here) that's been different, but again I don't suspect it will last much longer.

With Hasletts defense they rarely fool anyone and without that our defense is pretty easy to read. The Steelers offense was a step or two ahead of us all day. Haslett may know the 3-4 but he definitely doesn't have the creativity to get the most out of it.

I remember that read, it was excellent.

bowen is an animal
i wouldn't say morgan is playing below his contract
meriweather just isn't playing
garcon isn't living up to his, but i don't fault him for that (this is the first time he has missed more than 2 games in a season)

Agreed... until we have a good choice of 3-4 coach to replace him we are stuck with him...
