Mr. Scot

And now this... I think I just heard ominous music playing

John Harbaugh with a dig at his brother

Oh sure, now you start blocking everybody

Pretty much. Also don't doubt he'd say stuff that was pure bullsh-t if he thought it'd make him look better.

Official Forecast for tomorrow's KC game: cold as sh-t

Hitman Harris

Hell, he admitted that much after the Rhule disaater (said he thought he was gonna show everybody how it was done) but he also claimed he'd learned his lesson. (Morgan Freeman Voice: "He had not, in fact, learned a damn thing)

Don't think Leak was around, but I know we followed it pretty heavily as it was happening. Fitterer wasn't part of the original group. He and one other (Khan, I think) were tacked on at the end. Peters technically made it to round two but the 49ers gave him a raise and a new title (Assistant GM) to come back

Sadly, this is most definitely a non-Panthers thread so it must be the offseason Anyway...

The emphasis on analytics guys among our GM candidates isn't encouraging me

Don't think so. You might be mixing him up with Brandt Tilis.

Ben Johnson and Frank Smith would still be my top choices.

Granted that's a possibility, but with that also be true in the other cases referenced?

Pretty sure we didn't. Borgonzi hasn't ever interviewed here that I've seen. There's a theme here though when you look at the people we want to interview over the people we're ignoring. In Kansas City, Brandt Tilis over Mike Borgonzi... In Baltimore, Nick Matteo over Joe Hortiz... In Detroit, Mike Disner over Ray Agnew... The cap management / analytics expert thing seems to be the common thread, and I'm not a fan of it. Only thing I can figure is maybe David Tepper wants somebody who does things closer to his way as opposed to guys who are experts in something he has no clue about.

Entered into this discussion elsewhere, but I'll ask the same question here: Anyone know why in the hell we're not trying to interview Mike Borgonzi? We contacted the Chiefs about Brandt Tilis, but not their Assistant GM?

With McClay out an option and other big names not requested, the my favorite option among the GM candidates right now would be Ed Dodds, with Champ Kelly second.

McClay reportedly staying in Dallas.

He didn't, and probably wouldn't have except that the Commanders retained a longtime friend with close connections to him as part of their search. You likely weren't prying him away from the 49ers any other way.

I think we only got an interview with him last time because he was old friends with Matt Rhule.

Hiring a minority coach is literally the fulfillment of the rule.

None of that matters if you hire an actual minority coach. It's about the hiring, not the interviews.
