Golden Nuggets: So, Raye then? "Hmm" is all I can muster.
The big news is the OC news today, and you know its making me shake my head. Word is Jimmy Raye gets the job and I'm just so unsure of how I should feel. I'm certainly not excited, and that's what I hoped I would get from an OC hiring. I'm not despairing like some people, but I just don't see this as being the best hire we could make. At any rate we're along for the ride, so chin up, eh? Here's some links. (There's really only a couple for now.)
Of course, go look at the official OC fanpost. (NinersNation.com)
Greg Manusky signed a contract to remain the 49ers DC through 2010. (PressDemocrat.com)
Here's the latest McCloughan's Mailbag. (49ers.com)
There were rumors of Manusky going to Dallas, well here's a bit on that from Barrows. (SacBee.com)
Raye is being met with... less than sterllar enthusiasm. (MercuryNews.com)
I actually found quite a few articles showing much rage at the Raye hiring, but I'll not post them as its less than news and more of "AUGH."

Well...
At least we locked Manusky up for another few years… The defense looks promising going forward…
I know nothing about Raye so I’ll hold my comments until we get an idea of what our offense is capable of in the pre-season. Is anyone worried about Frankie Gore with this whole idea of a “power running game”?
We better get another back who’s capable of 10-15 carries a game…
The defense looks promising going forward…
Yeah, but we shouldn’t ignore all those times they went backward, too.
To be serious, I don’t know how i feel about Manusky. I think he’s shown some very good things from time to time, but he really let the defense do some silly, silly things under Nolan.
My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

In my opinion
when the man who has the power to fire you tells you to do something, you do it. You may argue against it and offer up a better solution. But if its his way or the highway… you do what you gotta do.
Fortunately...
For us, it wasn’t “my way or the highway” in the end for Manusky… Nolan got the axe and our defense was pretty damn good the rest of the way in my opinion at least…

Luckily yes
It seems like Manusky can put a pretty good defence out on the field. Good thing Sing saw that and didn’t let Nolan’s meddling effect his judgement of Manusky.
I think a telling stat is that the team went from giving up 28 ppg under Nolan to 20.5 ppg under Sing.
At least it shows commitment to the 3-4
Which is more than the Niners showed last year.
