Hey all, Ninjames here and what not. Thanks to Fooch for adding some more links in after the jump yesterday and making me look like an amateur. Real nice, Fooch, and in front of my readers? Great, so tonight I guess I have to put effort into it and stuff. Shouldn't be too hard, the new Motion City Soundtrack CD has put me in good enough spirits to get over the fact that I totally wasted a grip of money buying a computer accessory from Hong Kong.. never do it, kids. Anyway, my thrilling personal life aside, the 49ers up and hired themselves a new offensive line coach and I could not be more pleased. What a hire, this is an upgrade if I've ever witnessed one, but I will not forgive the Schottenheimer hire yet... just shutup about it for awhile, I suppose. Anyway, cool deal, here's some links.
Here's an explanation of why coach Singletary let Chris Foerster, the team's previous offensive line coach, sign with the Redskins. (PressDemocrat.com)
The choice on the 49ers offensive line coach hiring was Singletary's to make--he chose Mike Solari, which in my opinion is a great hire. (PressDemocrat.com)
Hey, at one point, the guy had Bobb McKittrick's backing. That's good enough for me. (ESPN.com)
49ers are looking more and more like "KC West." Oh God. Oh God. Anything but that !! UPDATE: I love it when Barrows articles go to print they have a catchier title, just refreshed his blog and noticed it. Nice. "Chief coaching concern." Hah. (SacBee.com)
If you didn't hear, the Steelers hired ex-49ers ST coordinator Al Everest. Hey, that sucks, we should have went after that guy. (Yahoo.com)
Here's some highlights from the Singletary/Solari interviews. (49ers.com)
Samuel Lam takes a look at some of the upcoming free agent wide receivers. I don't want any of them, to be honest. (Examiner.com)
Seahawks fans are wishing Mike Solari well... I mean, to an extent. (FieldGulls.com)
Pretty interesting stuff, our resident Cardinals blog took a look at the rest of the NFC West, including us. I suppose "have no huge needs to fill" is a compliment and well... You made me blush, Cardinals blog. Thank you for the compliment. (RevengeOfTheBirds.com)
So Isaac Bruce may be joining the Rams as their WR coach. I think that's an awesome position for the guy, honestly. I mean, a player like Avery scares me a little bit more now, but ya know. (StLToday.com)

The hiring of Solari is the best news I have heard for a while !!!
I have been calling for a new O line coach for months and have been saying for years how much the team missed McKittrick. This is perfect ,A McKrittick deciple as out new O line Coach,what could be more perfect ?
I am so glad that Sing and McGloughan have their fingers so firmly on the pulse of the team and are always ready to make whatever moves will improve the team and are doing whatever it takes to make the Niners consistent winners ! (Not to mention Jed leading the way !).
The future just keeps getting better and better for the team I love !!!
And now the draft and free agency etc !
KC People????
I am a little concerned about hiring all of these guys from a very bad KC franchise..I would feel better if we were hiring guys from New England, Indy, or one of the good franchises..if Solari was trained under McKittrick, that is a good thing, but lets keep our eyes open to these coaches from KC..
…and this from Matt Barrows…
“Solari spent 11 seasons in Kansas City. Raye was the team’s offensive
coordinator for three of them. If the two recapture the magic in San
Francisco they had from 1998 to 2000, they’d be onto something.
In 1999, behind the running of Donnell Bennett and Bam Morris, Kansas
City finished fourth in the league in rushing. A year later, Elvis
Grbac threw for 4,169 yards and the Chiefs finished fifth in passing.
Kansas City had an excellent young tight end in Tony Gonzalez, a
between-the-tackles rushing attack and a passing game that took shots
downfield.
It should sound familiar to 49ers fans."
-————————————————————————————————————————
so,like I said,this is very good news. Now Solari needs to teach the players we have now and Scotty needs to get him some more talented Olinemen(and he will !).
All the Alexcuses are quickly going out the window ,lol. Even the best O line and best receivers etc,can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Lets just hope the sows ear plays better this next year better than he has ever played before(like a real NFL QB for a change).,
Solari's offensive lines in KC were extremely good
1997—5th highest rushing yards per game
1999—4th highest rushing yards per game
2000—5th highest passing yards per game
2001—5th highest offensive ypg, 5th highest passing ypg,
2002—4th highest offensive ypg, 3rd highest running ypg
2003—2nd highest offensive ypg, 2nd highest passing ypg,
2004—1st highest offensive ypg, 4th passing ypg, 5th rushing ypg
2005-1st highest offensive ypg, 4th highest rushing ypg
That’s a pretty remarkable run and a very powerful offense.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will get picked in the first round.
Quote from Sing
“It’s really interesting how it happened. Mike Solari is a guy who, when I was interviewing for head coaching jobs around the league, he was my No. 1 guy,” Singletary said. “The fact that I would be able to get him at this juncture and how this happened is really amazing. I think it’s a win-win situation”
-———————————————————————————————————————————————
As I said,this is PERFECT !!!
Now we need a couple more O linemen that Solari can teach how to play !!!
lol
@cards fans saying they hope we keep alex smith because he sucks…….
the rest of the league gets it. i wish we finally would too.
