More interested in Rick Smith's replacement... unless we are getting a coach who will also serve as the GM.
I can't see Saban coming to the NFL. Kevin Sumlin, on the other hand..... I think he'd be perfect. Fans would love it, too.
We need a forward thinking regime. We are the most "old school" style team out there, rewarding "loyalty" with massive extensions, signing big name but past their prime free agents and taking minimal risk on the field. It's time to change it up.
We should hire Bill Barnwell. Or anyone who will go for 4th and short early on and not advocate the hilariously erroneous philosophy of "take the guaranteed points".
Hit up Morey to find out if he knows any up and coming analytic guys and hire them. Then hire a relatively younger coach with some balls.
Sumlin would rather drink beer and play golf for a few months than work his ass off and deal with ugly, lower middle class Texan fan that drove in from Katy, TX or The Woodlands to watch a game. Do the Texans even have a helicopter?
The only thing about Gruden that scares me is during the Tebow draft he said Tebow would be the best QB in years..... If he is making those kinda picks we would be screwed
hire Sumlin, draft Manziel if we are replacing Rick Smith, pay Morey to consult on the interviews hiring process
Replace Smith with: Scot McCloughan http://www.sacbee.com/2013/01/25/5139958/ex-49ers-general-manager-now-with.html Replace Kubiak with: anyone Scot hires...Go with someone young or heck one of the Gruden brothers
