Golden Nuggets: Not a whole lot other than, you know, the biggest decision this offseason looming.

Hey guys, James here. There's not a whole lot of unique news to be had as of right now, everybody is pretty much focused on the firing of Mike Martz. I'm miles from home right now on a laptop I cant stomach so I'll cut this article short and give you the few precious links to be had today. I will update as I can.

So who's next at coordinator, then? Kevin Lynch takes a quick look. (SFGate.com)

Here's the Wrap Up from Sunday's game. (49ers.com)

The pro bowl is now being played before the super bowl. (49ers.com)

Due to lack of pressing news here's an article about Joe Starkey. (49ers.com)

That's all for now, there's not a lot and again, I'm away from home. Hopefully at least the initial post will open up the comments so people can have at it with more links.

repeats?

I don’t think any of these are repeats, although two of them are a day or two old.

I think I remember hearing..

Robinson call a college game last season. He was pretty good. I love Starkey, but Ted will do a great job for the 49ers.

Just get rid of that idiot Rod Brooks. He is one of the worst broadcasters I have heard. I’d rather have Scott Ferrall on the sideline.

It was supposed to be in the 80s and humid in Texas, but I needed to look professional. If I could, I would dress up for practice every day. It puts me in the mind-set that I’m going to a job and have to take it seriously. My coach Mike Nolan is like that. I respect that about him.

It’s this kind of thing that makes me not like when people can Nolan for wearing the suit. MOSTLY, I just don’t understand criticizing a person for paying respects to their parent, but I’d also call this a positive return on that whole thing.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

Shanahan is available if we want a new Offensive Coordinator...

;-)

Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

Their story on the firing of Mike Martz.

No assurances for Shaun Hill on the starting job next season.

Smith vs. Hill

Sounds like Smith is going to redo his deal to stay with the Niners. Personaly, I don’t think Hill should be handed the job I think he should still have to compete for it.

Competition

I do think he shouldn’t be handed the job, but one issue is the fact that he’s always been a less than stellar practice player. He struggles in practice and then excels on game day usually. The question is how the coaching staff should account for that.
