Worst part? None of that sounds better than what the Chiefs have. **** is just a nightmare so far.

[TonyGfortheTD]

The only good name mentioned so far is Marc Ross, the rest is ugh.

GM - Marc Ross
HC - Mike Zimmer
OC - Joe Lombardi
DC - Ed Donatell

[Bulldogs]

I think we should stick with Matt Cassel. I blame his supporting cast. When given decent weapons he manages the game extremely well.

so cute soo sooo cute

[bored of education]

Zimmer is locked up long term and is no way in hell leaving, Lombardi has been made by Brees/Payton

Id love Chud or Horton as HC. Ross will be a bau5

[King Carls 5 Year Plan]

what about Eric Decosta? or is it just a foregone conclusion that he will stay w/ Balt to take over after Ozzie is done? is there a contract he couldn't refuse?

Zimmer is gone once he gets an offer. Mike Brown seems to be locked in on keeping Marvin Lewis.

Lombardi being made by Payton? Maybe. Brees? Nah. You need to stick with experienced guys on the defensive side of the ball and go with younger creativity on offense.

Horton or Chud aren't ready for Head Coaching positions.

You're going to have a hell of a time convincing him to leave Baltimore as Ozzie plans to retire soon.

DeCosta is the GM in waiting there. I would be shocked if he left.

I disagree about Chud or Horton. Experience as just a Coordinator for a long time does not make someone ready for the HC level. I think they provide dynamic leadership abilities with foundational skills to lead men.

Stay away from Marc Ross you bastards.

[TonyGfortheTD]

The one knock against Ross is he'd probably want to move the Defense back to the 4-3, and yeah that's something that doesn't need to happen.

If he could create a Giants-like defensive line I'd be good with it.

[Splat]

I really have no desire whatsoever to go back to a 4-3.

[vidae]

We have great personnel for the 3-4, we just don't have the coach.

[villagewarrior]

OK but if the Giants guy could bring those facemasks to KC I'd be happy with that. Just saying, those things are freaking sweet.

[vidae]

Blow up the front office and coaching staff please Clark. Please for the love of god.

[bored of education]

Hmm I like some of the names I posted :) I so smart

[bored of education]

It is unfortunate that their is very little chance Eric DeCosta will probably be unavailable for the GM spot, if/when Scott Pioli is not retained for the next year. Why not go after another man in the Ravens organization.

Joe Hortiz

Another man that has quite the resume - Tom Gamble
http://www.49ers.com/team/staff/tom-...8-6bfb470bb433

Tom Gamble is in his 24th NFL season and his seventh year with the 49ers. On February 4, 2011, Gamble was promoted to Director of Player Personnel after having served as the Director of Pro Personnel for the previous seven years in San Francisco.

Gamble’s extensive NFL resume includes work in both college and pro scouting, contract negotiations, and a stint in the coaching ranks.

While working closely with General Manager Trent Baalke, Gamble oversees both the college and pro personnel efforts. In his previous role, Gamble monitored every NFL roster with an emphasis on scouting talent of upcoming pro free agents, while also maintaining continuous depth of personnel on the 49ers roster. In 2010, Gamble had been assigned additional responsibilities in collegiate scouting in order to maximize the use of his extensive experience in talent evaluation.

During his time in the NFL, Gamble has helped build nine playoff teams – five with Indianapolis and four with Philadelphia. Prior to his arrival in San Francisco, Gamble served as a college scout for the Colts from 1998 to 2004 under veteran NFL executive Bill Polian.

Gamble originally entered the NFL as an assistant in the player personnel department of the Philadelphia Eagles in 1988. He stayed with the Eagles through 1994, serving as a college scouting administrator, area scout, contract negotiator, and later served as the director of pro scouting.

From 1995 to 1996, Gamble served as a defensive assistant/quality control coach with the New York Jets. He then worked as a part-time college scout for the Carolina Panthers before serving as a pro scout for the Baltimore Ravens during the 1997 season.

Gamble earned his B.S. from High Point University in 1987 and an M.S. from Rowan University in 1988. He grew up in a football family, where his father, Harry, served as the head coach at both the University of Pennsylvania and Lafayette College. Harry was also formerly the President of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Gamble and his wife, Juliette, have three sons, Tom, Gregory and Matthew.

How about Andy Reid? I'm assuming he loses his job this year with another terrible year with that nut-house of a roster. He'd probably keep the same 3-4 defense and I don't think I'd trust anyone more than Andy Reid in developing, drafting a quarterback. The good thing we have going is that (I believe) that we DO have talent on our roster(especially on defense) and number one overall pick would be enticing for any legit head coach. Any one of the guys you popped in this thread would be ok for our next GM.

I think your points are valid and I like Andy Reid but I wonder if we aren't looking at a coach that is burned out. He's been through a lot (on the field, off the field and especially family) and maybe he needs a year off to recharge his batteries and get his life back in order.

I agree with TheMatriculator. Andy needs time away.

I need time away after watching this team. I have never in my life wanted a NFL season to end this bad.
