    Also, you dont know about Slowik, if you knew, he was the offensive coordinator of the 49ers, without having the title as OC, helping Shanahan to build the offense if you go to the official 49ers page, you dont see the OC position filled, and people in the media believed he was the OC but leaving the vacant that position,

    Like this article says, every other OC named for the 49ers have been poached as HC, last example: MIke McDaniel, he was the OC, and got hired as head coach of the Dolphins, so the 49ers didnt want to put a name so teams could look at it, but since Demeco was in the team, he saw who was running the offense.

    This article was from march 2022.

    Are you suggesting that NFL teams would only know what a coach does if he had the title of OC? And that a team can hide a coach by just calling him something else?

    I didnt suggest it, in the link I provided by a reporter working with the team, it said that, also in this link, after Mike McDaniel, was signed as a HC for Miami, it says, also being named the OC, it could bring you to the spotlight if your team goes well, than you are not directly in the spotlight if you have the title pass game coordinator. obviously they cant hide a coach, but maybe dont put him in the spotlight could keep it in the team longer.

    https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/156213-how-49ers-replace-former-mike-mcdaniel/

    "Looking at potential names for the offensive coordinator position, Bobby Slowik, the passing-game coordinator, seems to be the prime candidate, although he may go with McDaniel to Miami."

    ...

    It's very plausible that the 49ers go with their original formula, keeping everyone in their respective roles, and going into 2022 without an offensive coordinator in order to provide themselves the leeway to give an offensive assistant a promotion should another team attempt to poach them away.
