Could this be a sign...

Only link I can find between the HC candidates and Manuel is Ken Dorsey. They played together at Miami for 3 seasons.

We haven't even talked to Dorsey yet

If you're looking for links to Manuel though, I think this is the guy you should probably be focused on.

They were teammates for a year in Carolina. Manuel also played a few years in Seattle while Morgan was in the Seahawks front office.

(which, incidentally, would also link him to Scott Fitterer)

Meh hard to say. People need to realize, if they haven’t already, Tepper is a god damn idiot. He has tried to interview for a GM when Hurney was already the GM. That’s against the rules and he got denied (and laughed at). He also let Hurney help him hire the future. He also had a small time college coach have input on hiring the GM (lmao).

He could very well be hiring the entire staff himself and be neutering the new HC. And common sense says only poor options would allow that. So maybe Wilks. Also makes sense why Harbaugh was a quick no.

Tepper strikes me as the type to go 180 to the other extreme after being swindled (by Rhule) like an idiot, Watson after Cam has this feel. And this would too after giving Rhule full control, and now no one gets it. 

Hell this could have been his wife’s idea. Or maybe his new ‘smarter than the rest of the NFL’ revelation. 

Yes this is all just thoughts a speculation. But you have to bring your theories to insanely stupid levels to understand Tepper. You don’t just stumble into being the founder of the worst season stretch in a 30 year history of a franchise, while actually trying, in your first shot, without having some really bad ideas.

His learning curve is a big one, and will take quite a while before he gets it right. Buckle up. He’s already shown to completely ignore how things are done and NFL history, but ironically, will end up there anyways when he finally figures out what everyone else already knows.

Yeah I think it’s over.

So far we have interviewed Steichen, Reich, Wilks, Caldwell that I have seen reported. 
 

Got a feeling they are going with Steve and are going to go ahead and vet is staff while they wait for HC interviews to cycle through.

This says for a Coordinator  position. Therfore it doesn't qualify for the Rooney Rule. This is pointing towards a staff that someone wants assembled. 

That's what I get for trying to read after training a puppy all night.

Thanks to all who corrected me.

Kinda doubt Wilks would want to move on from Al Holcomb.

I’m guess it’s not Kingsbury

Wills will do anything Tepper tells him to, to become the HC. And Tepper loves that fact.

Wilks has no other options, no one else is interviewing him - which should be an obvious red flag for anyone supporting him staying as the HC btw.

I think Wilks would drop Holcomb in a second if it was required for him to get the job. That goes for anyone on this staff. 
 

@Mr. Scot I respect your knowledge but maybe David Newton isn’t the best source to post

He also played with Dorsey and Manuel at Miami, not to mention was Director of Player Personnel in Buffalo while Dorsey was QB Coach....

How do you feel about Joe Person?

All correct.

I'd long expected Morgan would be an advocate for Ken Dorsey in this hiring cycle.

If Person is right though, Tepper might have his eyes set on Ben Johnson.

Albright on Twitter says he’s linked to Ben Johnson….not sure how, but that’s what he said.
