My ideal new coaching staff

As I stated in the previous thread, I am not sure how to fix the problems with this team. However, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. I'm fully aware that most things won't change until Jerry sells, but this is the best way I can think of for trying to start fixing this mess.

I like Mike, but it's time for a new coaching staff (except for Bones as our special teams has been our best unit). So, below, I will name my ideal coaching staff between HC, DC, and OC:

HC - Aaron Glenn. He's the Lions DC. He also played for us (while Campbell played for us) from 2005-2006. We've gone offense with Garrett and Mike. I want to try something different. I think Glenn would help bring a physicality and a focus to our biggest weaknesses on defence. I think he's shown that he's a leader of men with the way he's turned the Lions defence into what they became. I think he'd make a good HC for us.

DC - Robert Saleh. To be complimentary of Glenn, I think Saleh would make a great DC for us. He'd bring a physical defence like we've seen from him. I think Glenn and Saleh would make a great team together to get this defence to playing more physically. That should help protect Micah and the rest of them by virtue of the fact we should be able to stop the run better and should be much more physical.

OC - Chris Foerster. He's the 49ers oline coach and running game coordinator (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Foerster). With the position he coaches, he's bound to be more focused on the oline and running the ball. This would benefit Dak because we would be able to run the ball more efficiently. This leads to more points in the RedZone, and likely it would lead to more opportunities for Dak to get the ball to our receivers on play actions. On top of this, the position he has coached for a long time would lead me to think that we would be much more physical on the ground.

So, yes, I think our coaching staff next year should be Aaron Glenn at HC, Robert Saleh at DC, Foerster at OC, and Bones at ST. I think this gives us a chance to start really focusing on improving our weaknesses. By focusing on them, we can turn them into strengths. These weaknesses happen to be the very core of fundamental football. So, by fixing what's the core of fundamental football, it stands to reason that we would likely be a much better team. It would probably take a couple of years to get the pieces together, but we saw how rapidly things changed when we got Quinn at DC. I would imagine our defence would have a considerable change and improvement just from this change alone. Additionally, we would be adding in a healthy dose of physical offense to make Dak's life much easier. I think this gives us the best chance of starting to improve this team, and starting to fix where our biggest weaknesses are.

Jerry does usually listen to his coaches. So, maybe having voices that are focused on physical football in his ear can help make this team more physical. Maybe, just maybe, we can see our window start to open again in the nearer future than it is now. Hopefully

In my opinion, this team still needs an offensive minded coach to get through the last few years of the current QB and transitioning into a rookie. Ben Johnson is my #1 choice and then I’d move to a 3-4 defense to maximize Parson’s game.

Ben Johnson would be fine as long as we get Saleh at DC, but I would really like to try Glenn at HC. I like what I see with him.

What do you mean by that? It's just an idea that I think has at least a chance of trying to start turning things a bit.
I think what he means is that our GM Jerry will never try young/new and upcoming coaches to help out this team. But, I agree with your choices for our next coaches. The problem is Jerry will not allow it to happen. I think we need to get together a prayer group and ask God to help change Jerry's mind...pretty please. :grin:

Chris Foerster will be doing coke and face timing a stripper again by week 5 here.
and Jerry will be by his side.

Sign me up. lol


Not sold on Glenn as a HC. Sort of want to lock in an "innovative" but not a nerd offensive minded coach as the HC.

No, I agree. I know that Jerry probably won't try that, but it'd be nice to see us get these coaches in. I think they can change the culture.

Good ideas Rusty I like them a lot. You know Jerry will let Dak keep a few of his coaches and the understanding is we keep most of the old offense lol

Fur sure, but maybe Foerester can help at OC. And yeah, i think the coaches I mentioned can help fix the culture.

Defensive minded HC is a mistake, IMO.

You need a bright offensive mind at HC. A good OC will get a HC job too quickly and you cant build continuity.

Easier to keep a DC in place.

I mean, maybe, but I like Aaron Glenn. I think he's got a chance. Plus, the QB is in place. People are wanting Bill. He's defencive-minded. I think Glenn is the way to go. A younger voice that knows this team having played here.

Lol, maybe, but Foerester might be able to bring physicality to the offense. We need that in the worst way there.

Doesn't matter anyway. Not winning anything under Dak's contract, so the entire staff will get redone at the end of it again.
