I know we are all talking about changes but I havent seen a post yet with who we as fans would want as that new guy.
So way things look Quinn will be gone, I doubt Moore gets a HC job. Do we do the Dallas usual and hire from within as DC and keep Moore as OC? To me this is than just a weaker staff.
If Im gonna flush Im gonna flush everything. My first choice would be Harbaugh. He is a hard *** and no nonsense guy, brings attitude and accountability and will make everyone uncomfortable including Jerry and Stephen. (probably why he will not get job but every right reason he should).
Let him bring whoever he wants over and go from there.
Im not familiar with a lot of college coaches or other coordinators but that is the guy I would want.
After that If we could pull a Payton away good second choice but not who I would really want. We need this type of coach here to offset the softness that clouds this team.
Tomlin would be another guy I would love to have.
Who are your guys and how do you think they would change our culture?

I want someone young and fresh. We are seeing all these teams get success with young guys. Shanahan in San Fran. LaFleur in GB. Shoot the Eagles were a 4 win team last year and their young HC won 9 games.

I want some new, innovative blood in here. Not a retread and honestly llikely not a guy that has a link to Jerry either (so likely that's a no on Moore)

Harbaugh would wear out his welcome in like three years. Payton would be an upgrade on McCarthy but frankly, it's time for a whole new approach IMO. Bring in some young fresh ideas here.

It would really help if Jerry would DROP the damn idea of trying to find a guy HE thinks is the next 'genius' with zero experience and letting him learn on the job as he is 'groomed' as the next head coach.

It was clear Garrett was in over his head as is Moore.

These younger dudes around the league.....McVay, McDermott, Lafleur, Shanahan etc all had experience before being handed control of the entire offense and eventually a team.

Bottom line: coaching has been a problem forever and Jerry picks them. He isnt any good at it and he probably knows it....which is why status quo is usually the quick default.

Really don't think hiring used up coaches is the answer here, unless you can magically get a 70 year old Bill Belichick to town. And even that probably wouldn't end well. I'd actually love Tomlin here.

Since Jerry has made it clear that college coaches aren't an option, I'd either grab one of these young hot shots on Shanahan or McVay's staffs or poach an Andy Reid guy.

Garrett had as much experience as an OC as McVay did. Garrett was OC for four years before he took over as HC full time. McVay was an OC for 3 years. LaFleur was OC for just two years. Now McDermott and Shanahan had longer runs as coordinators for sure.

Since JJ believes innovation suggests rebuild, the best you can hope for is a Payton or Harbaugh. They have skins on the wall for JJ to lean on. IMO new and innovative is off the table until he or more to the point Stephen decides its Tim to blow it up and start over

Sure, but he was also handed the OC job after he had what, one year as Miamis QB coach?

Bottom line is the keys to the store were handed to both him and Moore way too early.

Neither has any type of counterpunch to speak of.

It really doesnt matter...any coach hired to run "Jerry's way" will fail...When your told who to play and who gets the ball by the owner..what diference will it make what the name is? Our RB tor his PCL in week 4...What HC in his right mind keeps playing that player over a better producing one when its his arss on the line?

Hate to say it, but we could hire Tom Landry or Vince Lombardi in their prime and won’t matter until this owner makes some changes at the top and with his no accountability culture.

Since our last trip to a conference championship, we’ve already had 6 Different HCs, 7 different OCs, 8 different DCs, over 70 different assistant coaches….and 1 unaccountable GM.

Hiring anyone without big changes in how this organization is run is just another coat of paint on the Titanic.
