I dont think its any secret that the majority of posters here think Fox is gone after this season. With that in mind, how do you guys see it going down? Does Fox go but the rest of the staff stay in tact, or is it a fire sale and the whole staff goes so that the new HC gets his own staff?

My opinion is other than Meeks, they all need to go. But in all honesty if Meeks were to go i would be ok with it, but i feel like he has done the best job of all the coordinators based on what he has to work with. Davidson should be the first in line to hit the door in my opinion!

So what do you guys think/want??

I want a clean slate with coaches and coordinators.

My hope is that the majority of the players stay, with Hurney remaining here I think it's a possibility.

I have to agree with this. And if Fox goes and Hurney stays, this is what will happen. I would almost lay money on it.

been said many times in many threads.

jim harbaugh comes in and brings his own offensive support staff.

keep meeks and the defensive staff in place.

This is the only thing that worries me about the inevitable coaching transition. Our defense is really good and I worry that a change in coordinator brought on by a change in head coach who may have a completely different philosophy might do several years worth of damage.

So I'm of similar mind to you, but how often does a new coach come in like that and not bring on HIS chosen coordinators?

only in oakland.

of course you do have plenty of times that a new HC comes in and leaves an already successful staff in place. gruden to tampa would be a big example.

Same thing worries me. I love Meeks' system. I think it's one of the best in the NFL, and that if our offense had a better time of possession, our defense would really shine.

But, Meeks is getting a little too old to be an "up-and-coming" head coach. And I think that we're going to go with a young(er) prospect there.

If Hurney stays, I'd love the interview process to go something like this:

Hurney: "So, for you to be our next head coach, you have to agree that Meeks is going to be your defensive coordinator. Otherwise, gtfo."

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
