Golden Nuggets: Well that... that was unexpected.

I'm not even talking about the playoffs, either. I'm talking about Linehan declining. I figured since he interviewed twice that it was pretty much a done deal, I didn't even suspect anything when he claimed to need time. Either way all I know is he's not going to be our offensive coordinator and I don't feel any doubt about the future knowing this. If he's not the OC, then he's not supposed to be and somebody better suited is out there. Singletary needs to find him. Quickly.

Singletary says it too--the right fit is out there. He also says he'll continue to be patient in the search. (PressDemocrat.com)

Kevin Lynch gives some opinions on the situation. (SFGate.com)

And here's some more from the Chronicle. (SFGate.com)

Despite the current coaching woes, the 49ers will keep a close eye on the senior bowl. (SacBee.com)

So where DO we go from here? I'm unsure but I don't agree with all this "Well whoever we hire is the second choice how will they feel blah blah..." I see that only mattering if we hire one of the other two already interviewed. If we interview someone else and hire them then its more of a "Hey, we thought too fast. You're a better candidate. Win some k?" You see? Problem solved, I don't like that WR coach and that guy with the funny name anyway. (49ersNews.com)

That's all for now.

I wasn't high on Linehan anyways

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

My non-experienced, no research, "gut feeling" says Chudzinski.

Cameron Wake...

Im not sure if anyone knows who this guy is, but he just signed with the Dolphins for $4.9 Million over 4 years and he’s a beast!!!

I’m very disappointed the Niners didn’t sign this guy. Im from Canada and a CFL season ticket holder for the Blue Bombers, and this guy is the best player I have seen come out of the CFL since Jeff Garcia.

He’s a beast and only 26 years old with 39 sacks in the last two seasons!!! He also won the defensive player of the year the last two seasons. He played defensive end for the B.C Lions, but played outside linebacker for Penn State in college. He’s now going to be lining up as an outside linebacker for the Dolphins. For that price, and with the need we have for a pass rush specialist, I think he could have been a gem.
