Ryan’s would be a decent choice and maybe he can pry away some of the offensive coaching talent from the 49ers. Gresie is their QB coach, who has worked a miracle with Purdy, and Anthony Lynn is currently their OC. Lots of possibilities. I’d prefer the Lions or Eagles OC however. But, I’d also be down with any bright offensive mind from the McVay and/or Shannahan tree.

I'd be cautiously optimistic about Ryans.  I know nothing about him as a coach, but just because he's a DC doesn't mean he's conservative.  If anything his age would imply more that he's not than his title would imply that he is.  I'd prefer an OC for the simple reason it's harder to keep a good OC than it is a good DC, so if Ryans picks really good OCs then we'll be constantly looking for replacements, but if he's a good HC then it'll work out.  What I know that I don't want is Wilks, Quinn or any of these other older DCs who have proven to be behind the times.  Wilks might be one step forward from Rhule, but that's still three steps behind most of the rest of the league.

I think the fans concern themselves too much with the coach being defensive or offensive.  If you look at the most recent SB winners, its fairly well balanced between offensive and defensive coaches.  I mean Gary Kubiak was a offensive coach who won a SB with a great defense.    Mcvay is an offensive coach who won a Super Bowl because his defense shut out the Bengals in the fourth qtr.  Sean Peyton was a offensive guru who only appeared in/won a single Super Bowl despite having one of the best qb's of all time.  Bill Belichick was a defensive guy who won 6 superbowls with one of the greatest qb's of all time.  

I just want a good one, don't really care which side of the ball that coach came up on.

Back when he was coaching the Ravens and Tony Dungy was coaching Peyton in Indy, Brian Billick joked that the football gods had a weird sense of humor to give him the Ravens defense and Dungy the Colts offense.

So first it was Tepper wanting a experience HC (ie Reich, Peyton, Quinn), then it was him wanting an offensive guru (Johnson, Steichen) and now he wants a young gun DC to take the helm...

I will be so happy when the off-season gets here so we can put an end to this nonsense rumor crap. I will believe it when they actually interview twice.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking.

      Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him.

      Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
