Update: Greg Manusky

[ethiostar]

The 49ers have signed a coordinator, all right.
No, not the offensive coordinator . . . at least, not quite yet.

Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky recently signed a contract extension to remain with the 49ers through the 2010 season.

All the 49ers' assistant coaches are under contract for at least 2009. Additionally, each has agreed to extensions through 2010, and most of those deals have already been signed and submitted.

Anyway, this should dispel the rumor that Singletary has already fired his defensive coordinator. In reference to Manusky, a Dallas-area newspaper reported this week that Singletary "booted his butt." Manusky was portrayed as a leading candidate to join Wade Phillips' staff with the Cowboys.

After reading of Manusky's unexpected departure on Monday, I immediately called him. Manusky was busy breaking down film of the 49ers' season. He was looking at how the 49ers fared on each particular defensive call throughout the 2008 season.

Manusky is unable to leave the 49ers for any NFL position -- other than a head-coaching job -- unless the 49ers grant him permission to escape or he is fired. That, of course, is highly unlikely to occur after the 49ers executed a contract extension to retain his services for the next two seasons.

Interesting...I thought this was who the cowboys were waiting for and the reason they have not named a new DC.

So...maybe there is someone on the Steelers or Cardinals staff they are thinking about.

I hear Mortensen was impressed

I think Dallas is waiting for a position coach that will be coaching on Sunday, otherwise why not just sign someone already.

Can He teach them how to tackle too?

Guys, we already have a defensive coordinator and his name is Wade Phillups.

Stewy's job the second half of the year was to make sure the Gatorade bucket was full, so we really dont need to worry about finding Stewy's replacement.

:bang2: I really wanted him.

Nice reporting, Jen.

I wonder if JFE will write a little ball of hate towards the sports writers in this town who continually spread erroneous information.
