Leaky_Faucet

Not much. But will likely start hearing more this week now that the season is officially over. He called Tepper multiple times last year, I imagine there will be some discussion this year as well. I said it a few weeks ago, I can really see Tepper taking a shot with a Tepper or Belichick type.

I could see it but with Harbaugh you never know.

This is really really good. He is probably the best on the list. Not an analytics guy. Talent evaluation guy and one of the best at it. McClay is the type that could be the “President” or Head of Football Ops.

He’s safe for at least another year. Maybe a 3rd if he shows some progression. Biggest thing is he won’t be new HC and GMs “guy”. I will be interested to see if the new folks keep Dalton behind him, sign a a younger borderline starter than Andy, or draft a guy at 33. What they do at back up QB will determine the confidence level.

If not already posted

Faucet told you all.

Yes. I have heard nothing about him not being interested in Harbaugh this year. Last year Harbaugh called multiple times and they talked about the job but NEITHER was interested in going forward with an interview. It sounds like somebody just found out that happened and it’s being perceived as this year. I doubt Tepper or the search firm he handed the keys to have even spoke to Harbaugh or talked amongst themselves regarding Harbaugh this early in the process. That’s now how these things work. EDIT: and I’m not saying I’ve heard that he will be interested in JH. I’m just saying for those rumors to come out like that is bs. It’s way too early in the process and it’s the same thing as draft season where there is a new rumor each day. Everything I have been told points towards him wanting somebody he can hand responsibilities to. Whether it’s a coach/GM type or a really strong GM personality and young Head Coach.

No clue where this Harbaugh nonsense is coming from. The feeling I actually get from folks I talk to is the same it was a month ago. I think he is going to get a Belichick/Harbaugh type and put Scott in a closet somewhere with no roster control. Perhaps a false promotion. I mean from what I’ve heard it sounds like he’s ready to hand the keys over. The whole drink fiasco demonstrates his frustration with the situation among other things. Bad owner? Yes. Bad at making football decisions? Yes. Impatient? Yes. Idiot? No.

Honestly this is the impression I get from folks I talk to. He’s probably not going anywhere but his job description might. Then again SF may see it as an out and jump ship if the work environment is that bad.

Somebody on here recommended it a while back, but I would do something like what Jacksonville did when they spoiled the Colts. Everyone should dress up as clowns when they attend the game.

I read somewhere that 20-22 games is the typical window where most modern coaches know what they have in a QB. That lines up with about Week 6 or so next season. If Bryce hasn’t shown any progression by then with a new offense, scheme, and some type of weapons then it’s pretty obvious what 2025’s 1st Rounder will be used for. As others have said, his physical toolbox is the problem. I watched him throw a duck today that looked like it was tipped until the announcer went back and pointed out how terrible of a throw it was. He doesn’t have the arm strength for the zip and or the height for the field vision.

Don’t have any evidence but I think he has/will hire Thomas Dimitroff’s outfit SumerSports. Heard a ton of people hint at it and it has a strong foundation around analytics.

Yeah college football is way more popular down that way.

I understand everyone’s right to privacy. However, if you are just going to appear and make decisions for 1 of only 32 NFL teams in the world, people are going to want to know your background and qualifications. You could argue that even some of the Mark Davis’ who inherited it still grew up in it and watched their family operate it. Others, made their marks in business and showed their acumen there. To just be married to the owner with no clear background and making key decisions in a multi-billion dollar company is staggering.

A lot of those in the G-SP area have turned to the Falcons the past few years and a lot of those in the Low Country follow Florida teams.

I’m surprised none of you all organized what Jacksonville did a few years ago and wore clown costumes to a home game en masse.

I always thought the plan was for Jon to buy out Mark and then after JR had the heart attack, Mark pitched a fit over the idea, then Jon died- so JR changed plans.

Oh I wouldn’t doubt it. Matt revealed the same thing a few weeks before he was fired I think, or maybe the year before- I can’t remember. I kinda felt like Reich dropped a lot of passive aggressive jabs in his pressers.

Anyone who would do what was described in that article will not be trusted by a new HC. Is hard to say how much Rhule was actually responsible for with a guy like that who goes behind people’s backs. I’m sure MR had his fair share but I’m sure Scott was able to hide a few of his sins in MR’s name.

Keep in mind that Tepper interviewed McCarthy twice in 2020 when he wasn’t with a team and nobody knew it until way later. Harbaugh also called Tepper multiple times last year to discuss the role. Might be one of those “fancy running into you at my office” type meetings. Probably not but fun to imagine.

Yeah from what has reported, people are just scared to go against Dave. Dave says he likes Bryce and magically everyone else likes Bryce. Dave says he likes Reich, so does everyone else. Dave says run more RPO (and he’s probably right) Frank says his offense doesn’t have RPO- Tepper fires him. Cycle continues.

Apologies, I meant Scott. The previous may be the best option though.
