Ohhhhhh, so I get it now. We should all just forget yet another playoff/end-of-season embarrassment and rejoice that they worked so hard to retain Quinn and that our beloved Fatso's job was never in jeopardy. Well I for one feel much better now
You didn't buy that "I'm as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore" act, did you? He's a phony and a liar and just taking advantage of a situation for more exposure. This entire team exists for his self-promotion.
A team offered Quinn the HC job and Booger rode in to save the day with his checkbook? Well, he doesn't have to worry about being called out as a liar because Quinn isn't talking and the team that got turned down for their HC job for their candidate to remain an assistant sure isn't talking.
Was that the strategy? Let him interview until an offer is made and then make him an offer to stay?
And at the end of the day, the one truth remains. This DC knew what the Niners were bringing, their chances rode of two hopes, Samuel and Kittle and a run game and his players made stupid mistakes, poor tackling and failed to stop the Niners from doing exactly what they needed and wanted to do to win.
I like Quinn but I hope he got some ironclad promises to address this defense because this was all about one great draft pick and a smoke and mirrors secondary dependent on errant throws.
He is the DC on the team run by follow the ball people in need of OL, WR and TE help and really poor at cap management. That must have been a real crappy HC offer?
