49ers should trade for Kolb This time of year the focus for the NFL is usually on free agency and April’s college draft. With a new collective bargaining agreement being worked out between NFL players and owners, a possible lockout is getting most of the attention. Regardless of a lockout the NFL draft is scheduled as planned however newly drafted players cannot sign with their...

Countdown to Lockout: Which side are you on, Millionaires or Billionaires?

When it comes labor lockouts and sports, having to pick between millionaires (players) and billionaires (owners), I normally fall into the category of supporting neither.  I just want to see the sport played as regularly scheduled and how the players and owners divvy up what we the fans spend collectively on their product is not a concern to us.  No matter which side you think...

Whether or not there is a lockout come Friday 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has one pressing issue, quarterback.  Come midnight on March 4 if there is no new collective bargaining agreement in place the NFL owners will lockout the players.  This affects Harbaugh in that he cannot workout players currently on the roster and there will be no free agency until a new CBA is worked...

How the Lockout Affects the 49ers

Imagine you are a new CEO hired to take over a company that has languished in futility the last decade under the current owners after two straight decades of being one of the best companies the industry had seen with the previous owners.  As the new CEO your first task to turn the tide of losing ways is to hire and surround yourself with management personnel you trust and are confident...

Quarterback is 49ers Biggest Off-season Need

With only one quarterback currently signed on the roster, David Carr, to say the 49ers are badly in need of a new man under center is an understatement.  The 49ers can pursue all three avenues of acquiring a new quarterback whether through the draft, trade or free agency.  The 49ers have the number seven pick overall in this year’s draft so selecting a quarterback is not out...

49ers Announce Fan Forum

On Tuesday, February 15 the San Francisco 49ers will host a conference call Fan Forum with General Manager Trent Baalke and Head Coach Jim Harbaugh.  The conference call will take place from 7:00 PM-8:00PM (Pacific Standard Time). I think this a great opportunity to get in some hard questions to two of most important figures in the 49ers organization.  Grant it, a lot of people...

Super Bowl XLV

There were a lot of things that went wrong with Super Bowl XLV.  Everything from over 850 fans losing their seats to the National Anthem being botched. Luckily the most important part, playing the game, was a success and was one of the best Super Bowls I have seen that did not involve the 49ers.  Few of the commercials were funny.  My favorite was Bridgestone’s “Reply...

15 Years since 49ers Last Super Bowl Victory

Last Saturday, January 29th marked the 15th anniversary of the 49ers last Super Bowl victory.  I still remember watching the game in my grandma’s living room with my cousins who are also 49er fans.  A jumping huddle of celebration started after the game came to an end and the 49ers defeated the San Diego Chargers 49-26.  At the time I thought this would be the start of a string...

Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers: Two Different Paths

Alex Smith currently sits at home after his sixth turbulent season with the San Francisco 49ers.  His mind is set on free agency, contemplating whether or not to sign with another team or return to the 49ers under their third coaching regime since Smith was selected number one overall in the 2005 draft. Aaron Rodgers currently sits in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas after his sixth and...

Former Coordinator Mike Johnson Headed to UCLA

Mike Johnson Headed to UCLA With the hiring of Jim Harbaugh it was unrealistic to think that a majority of 49ers coaches who served under former head coach Mike Singletary would remain on staff.  Harbaugh retained some of the coaches, in my opinion the best ones, but most of them were let go under the new regime.  Singletary signed on to coach the Vikings linebackers and will be...

Is Carson Palmer a Good Fit for the 49ers?

Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer injected his name into NFL news this week by calling for a trade or else he will retire.  With Palmer financially secured for the rest of his life one might think he will follow through on his retirement threat.  We have seen this before with former quarterback Jake Plummer retiring early but how serious is Palmer?  Bengals owner Mike Brown said...

49ers Hire More Assistants, Singletary Going to Vikings

Jim Harbaugh is quickly rounding out his roster of coaches.  Harbaugh hired Geep Chryst as quarterback’s coach, Ed Donatell as secondary coach, Jim Leavitt as linebackers coach and Brad Seely as the special teams coordinator. Three of the four coaches have great experience in NFL and at the position they were hired to run.  Having a 49er head coach hire experienced coaches that...

49ers Hire Two Coordinators

As expected Jim Harbaugh hired two Stanford coaches as the 49ers next offensive and defensive coordinator.  Greg Roman was hired as the offensive coordinator and Vic Fangio as the defensive coordinator.  Harbaugh added one more Stanford coach Tim Drevno as an offensive line coach.  With so many Stanford coaches going north from Palo Alto to San Francisco at first I thought this...

Harbaugh’s to Do List

The first thing on Jim Harbaugh’s to do list is to fill out his coaching staff.  With under experienced offensive coordinator Mike Johnson mostly likely not staying on the 49ers staff and defensive coordinator Greg Manusky interviewing with the Cowboys, Cardinals and Chargers, Harbaugh has candidates to interview to fill out his staff.  Among those most mentioned who might join...

Why Jim Harbaugh will succeed

Almost three full days have passed since the 49ers announced the hiring of Jim Harbaugh as their next head coach.  I still feel as enthusiastic now as I did when I first found out about the hiring, if not more.  I have talked to many friends that are not 49er fans and of course there were many doubts in their opinions of whether or not Harbaugh can succeed in the NFL.  I think...

The Harbaugh Carousel

With the Dolphins deciding to stick with current coach Tony Sparano and the Broncos pulling out of trying to interview Jim Harbaugh it seems likely that Harbaugh will remain in the Bay Area.  Unfortunately for the 49er Faithful Harbaugh might be returning to Stanford after meeting with university officials on Thursday.  Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will not enter the NFL draft...

Hire Jim Harbaugh

After watching Stanford’s 40-12 victory over Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl on Monday I was convinced that Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh should become the next 49ers head coach.  The way Harbaugh handled himself after the game showed how professional he is and how much he respects the game of football and his players.  He refused to be on the receiving end of a Gatorade...

49ers to Meet with Harbaugh Today

NFL.com is reporting the 49ers will interview Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh today.  As I write this they may be meeting.  This is exciting news as Harbaugh lives in the Bay Area with his family which gives the 49ers an edge.  In the NFL.com report my fears of Harbaugh possibly being turned-off by the inexperience in the 49ers front office has some truth to it: “Harbaugh has...
