not much to cheer about this past season... laying low.
but there is hope! the future is looking shiny!

I thought we had already hired Mann to coach WRs? Personally, i'd rather have Mann, if for no other reason than it would increase the likelyhood Antonio Bryant signs here as a free agent. Bryant and Thomas as our #1 and #2 with Moss in the slot... would be nice.

not sure if this guy is interviewing for WR or QB... he has experience in both... Meidt hasn't been formally retained yet, has he?

Damn C. We've got Hixon, what do you want?

Is anyone else concerned that the O-line coach position has gone unfilled? With Alex Gibbs reportedly going to Seattle, where does that leave us.

I mean, I think we would all agree that O-line is the position we are weakest and in need of the most focus, so who's going to reshape that unit? What candidates are available familiar with the zone blocking schemes Shanahan wants to install?

I agree Mc2guy, Im pretty happy with the staff thus far. I think Haslett is a gamble, but it could be worse. However, I really want to see them bring in a top tier O line coach.

I guess I am not too concerned by this, maybe because I am thinking we might still go after coaches on the current playoff teams. I don't have any reason to know that, but it is clear that the OL needs a new coach, and that it was weak last year, so I hope they are doing solid in depth work at available coaches to see who best fits what we have here and what we need. I also think they are pulling their "comfort zone"(coaches they know/have worked with in the past) coaches in quickly so no one else gets them.

Oh so you're moving to 13? Cool, I wasn't sure who exactly was. Guess I might run into you on campus more often

Anyhow, apparently Wachenheim is also an option for coach of the offensive line

Unfortunatly I think whoever we bring in will not fill his shoes. I'm almost 100% positive that they will be way over qualified compared to Hixon. Sorry. But think positive.
