nice list, Myron Rolle(S) im also hoping for. "STEAL OF THE DRAFT". 
I think Donaven or the Qb we will draft with our first pic should have that protection but I feel ...
...Mmmm - K.
I don't think you realize that every time we ran off tackle we averaged somewhere in ...
your blog. 
WHY THIS GUY??? He has yet to do anything that makes me say,”Yeah we should go after him!” Wait for Cameron!!!
What the fuck?…
He said he wanted somebody with experience… You son of a bitch! how did Mike Nolan even find out about this guy? Who the hell is he. How about we get an offnesive coordiantor with fricken GOOD NFL EXPERIENCE. This guy hasn’t been in the NFL since 2001. Why! why !would you do this Nolan. Screw this. i forgot how retatred he is. hopefully he loves Georgia Tech so much that the Niners look like nothing to him. Why wouldn’t you go after a guy who is good for once in your god damn life. Everybody knows Mike Nolan sucks, but this is ridiculous. Did anybody know that Dick Nolan his father who died, was also a pretty bad coach himself. But he wasn’t nearly as bad as this. Where is my gun I’m gonna hunt this idiot down. GET CAM CAMERON! Hasn’t anyone else seen what college coaches do?… THEY SUCK BALLS. Only one coach was good coming from college. I’m gonna flip if we get this guy.
Tell me this is some kind of SICK JOKE!! FIRE WARHOP!!! Bring in the former KC offensive coordinator for the o line and GET CAM CAMERON!!! SHOW US YOU CARE, NOLAN!!
Ryan…Ireland just hired by the Dolphins as their GM. Now let’s hope they bring in Sparano as HC. And Cameron is fired…..
This guy is terrible… i looked up some things, when he was an offensive coordiantor for the steelers in 1996 season, thy had one of the worst passing offenses and a really good running game. He was also offensive coordinator of the …MIAMI DOLPHINS in 2001, they went 11-5 that season, sound good? They had the 26th ranked offense that season. This guy sucks. He just runs the ball, which woin’t work we have 9 guys in the box all the time.
Here are our options:
Cam Cameron
Mike Martz
These are the only good ones i know, that won’t want to be Head coaches. Niner pundit do you know any other offensive coordinaters we could get, that would be good?
Doesn’t nolan know that his job is on the line? i don’t get it. Maybe he wants out of San Fran, but doesn’t want anybody to know about it. i think I’m going to lose my mind. I don’t know why i decided to like thi team, I just like this team for some reason. i picked the wrong timemto like the Niners. I should be a Eagles fan, but I like the Niners for whatever reason it is. I became a Niner fan after i saw the Denver game. I wanted Kansa City to make the playoffs and they needed the Niners to beat the broncos. i thought all hope was lost. I didn’t know much about this team. Once I saw that game I instantly liked this team. good times and bad, I’m now a true Niner fan. Even if this franchise is going in the wrong direction.
Is Nolan trying to make up for taking so long to fire Ostler by hiring a second-rate OC right away? Somebody should tell him that he has plenty of time right now to find the right man for the job. Please interview all possible candidates: Martz, Fassel, etc.
Why, why, why, why would Nolan possibly go after this guy…? If we get this guy, i’m gonna strangle myself with my belt or something… Being a 9′ers fan is properly the hardest thing ever, I really don’t know why I’m a 9′er sometimes… But somehow I just am…damn it…
Nolan is a dirty peace of shit. Look how hard headed this fagg is! Hes considering this asshole because worked with him before. GET IT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING HEAD NOLAN!!!! this team wants to win dammitt not se a bunch of ur fucking friends on the sideline calling plays.
just another shitty season…..and why do people keep insisting on drafting Colt Brennan?he has bust written all over him.Draft Eric Ainge,Nate Longshore,Chad Henne,Chase Daniels,any of these guys.
Nevermind, Niner Pundit you scared me for a second there. You saide he was a leading candidtate, but he’s just another possibilty. NOT THE LEADING CANDIDATE. I saw that video, he said watch for this man to surface… not a leading canidate. Him and Mike Nolan worked together for 5 years way back when in the 80’s and 90’s in Denver, that’s all. Hopefully, he’s not even on nolan’s list. He could be though. Apparently Mike Martz will not come to the niners, because the retarted owners didn’t like him, and how he would fit. C’mon Cam Cameron!
I think this goes to show you Nolan doesnt learn from mistakes
I would like the Chad Henne for a draft pick… we could pick him up in the 4th or 5th round. He isn’t mobile, but damn does he have a gun. He IS A POCKET QB….we have had a lot of success with these types of QBs. I agree that Nolan and McCloughan would REALLY show how inept they are by not waiting until Miami pans out their situation.
Chan Gailey spent 96 and 97 as Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator, ranking 15th in 96, and moving all the way to 6th in 97. In 97 Kordell Stewart threw for over 3,000 yards, and Bettis had 1,660 yards rushing. He wouldn’t be the worst.
Cam Cameron will stay ar be hired in a week or two, that is when the desiscion will be made. Should we wait? Scott and nolan are seiously freaking me out. I saw that conference and they literally , like eachother. Nolan seems to have hypnotized Scott. he thinks that we could win a superbowl under Mike Nolan. He thinks that mike Nolan has contol of the locker room and that everybody likes him. Wow, Scott i respect your talent of being able to get talent, but … you are one dumb sucker. nolan has tricked the shit out of Scott. All i know is we are going to have another great draft. Nolan-Scott know how to get players and how to trade up and how to trade down for the next draft. i’m actually going to watch the draft just because I want them to work their magic during the draft. they have made ONE mistake only and that was trade away our first round pick of this year. never do that again. i’m just happy though that they got the colts first round pick for our 4th last year. that’s a job well done. If we could do that to other gullable teams, trade Alex Smith to the Bears or minnesota for another first round pick, or a second if his stock has fallen and we would be in great shape. It was funny how Nolan said that the GM works hard to bring the talent to the field, and they get dissapointed when they aren’t used correctly. That’s exactly the problem! We need Nolan, because in that conference it revealed that Nolan does have a lot to do with the drafts, which have been fantastic. i can’t wait till the draft. Eventually we will have so much talent that it will overcome the bad coaching, right?
Profootball dot com has quoted a source close to the Miami Dolphins that HC Cam Cameron has been given his walking papers late Tuesday Night. This tip came from the same source that reported the hiring of Jeff Ireland as the GM in Miami.
There is no way in hell an unproven quarterback like smith gets us a one in return. Moss was traded for a fourth round pick last year.
Somebody asked what the connection is between Nolan and Gailey. They were on the same staff for a few years.
I think he is a pretty good coach though. His offenses at Georgia Tech have been pretty successful, and his passing attack has done the bulk of the work. His professionals stats are deceiving and skewed towards the run because he didn’t have a good quarterback with the Steelers, but he did have Jerome Bettis. His offense absolutely killed the Colts in the Wild Card game putting up 41 points, on the road. He won the NFC East twice in a row as the head coach of the Cowboys, and this was when all of their play makers were getting old.
He is a moderately accomplished coach and has plenty of head coaching experience working with very little. Since he has been at Georgia Tech he hasn’t had a descent quarterback yet, but they consistently make bowl games. Also, Georgia Tech runs a pro style offense, not a Urban Myer only works in college style. He doesn’t need to run our team, he just has to keep the offense from being awful again.
Honestly, I think no matter who gets hired the Nolan Haters would be in uproar. Whether it is be Martz, who in my opinion would be almost as bad as keeping Hostler, Cameron, Gailey, or some other schmuck, it would be just one more thing to complain about this off season. The Cowboys were unanimously criticized for the hiring of unknown ex-quarterback Jason Garret, and I think it turned out pretty good for them.
Cam Cameron’s dolphins looked just as bad as the niners offensively, so to say that he is an offensive mastermind, and that we’d be screwed with anyone else is just stupid.
People don’t go looking for another job because their last one went well.
I just watched GT get their ass handed to them by the 3rd best team in the WAC, Fresno State.
Watch any GT game and you will see. They are not well coached and there offense falls into the same stagnate play calling Hostler used. Run on 1st, pass short on 2nd and dive play on 3rd, pro-bowl punter on 4th. If it was not for Calvin Johnson for 3 seasons prior to 2007. GT would not have made a Bowl Game.
I think they should get Cam Cameron immediatly this is one of the times to make our coaching staff better if not one of the best.
There is no way!!!! Cam is the best fit for us and if he is gone then we take the wild card Martz.. other than that nothing will work.. OR we try and it would be a long shot.. go for up and comer jason garret of the cowboys make him OC and tell him if Nolan fails he will become HC next year or take over in the middle of the year… but all in all CAM is the man
I agree Cam is the best option. Some guys are better coordinators than head coaches and I think Cam is one of those. He has proven to be a solid performer in the OC role and if his ego can take it, he should be again for the niners. He also had a very respected O-Line coach on his staff with the Dolphins who was also let go and he could be a great addition as well.
Cam is the best option, but not the only option. We shouldn’t put all our eggs in his basket and then think the niners are crazy if they don’t get him. I don’t see Garret going to the niners for an OC role even with the promise of “maybe” getting the head job if Nolan takes another dump (as likely as that is). Garret has not been doing this very long anyway and he does have a ton of talent on his roster with the Cowboys. We need a strong leader who can teach and organize a reasonably talented and young offensive group. I think no matter who the new OC is Alex Smith cannot be helped. Despite all the coaching changes and offensive challenges, he should be further along than he his by quite a bit. He is not the answer.
Stay The Course
