I'm all for Bill Cowher without researching any other candidates. I wonder how hard it would be for us to switch to a 3-4.

Can't be that hard. Outside of Charles Johnson, is ther really anyone who you would be heartbroken if we didn't keep? Fuggin blow up the D-Line, and let's Extreme Makeover Football Edition that B.

Just to beat a dead horse with the 3-4 talk and considering the mood is bad around here...

I am not a defensive guru or claim to be...but would a combo of 52/59 on the inside of a 3-4 be most advantageous..it would get arguably are two best LB on the field together playing the inside. Lord knows we don't have any other pieces of a 3-4, but its interesting to think about considering the down turn this season has taken.

I would think we would need to beef up at NT and have larger outside linebackers.

EDIT: To answer the OP

GM: Polian, but he might be too old. Maybe Polian with a young gun to learn under him for a few years and then take over after he retires..maybe keep Polian as an advisor.

Coach: Would be excited for Cowher..only because he has HC specific experience.

Player: Depending where we are in the top ten. 9-10..I want a homer pick with S Eric Reid, LSU. Anything before..BPA on defense..being a corner of defensive lineman.

People like Cowher typically aren't the brilliant strategist types Rivera and his staff are. (Chuds brilliance at this point is fools gold I know)

While those "brilliant" strategist types typically don't have a strong fundamental focus.

Very rarely do coaches come along who do both well, and while i wasn't all the way on the bandwagon at the time-Harbaugh appears as if he may have indeed been one of those rarities.

I'm basically saying Cowher isn't the answer for those of you who didn't catch it.

While the college offense we run now is crap as a Base O, it'd be nice to incorporate it into our offense and I'm not sure Cowher is the type to do so. Also think the Coryell is the best possible offense Cam could be in.

So your looking for someone along similar limes that we have now, but has an actual grasp on preparation strategically and fundamentally, and game management, and no, the word stoic doesn't fit in anywhere into this.

    • I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.   
    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
