Assistant Coach Rumor Compilation Thread

Submitted by Indonacious on

Aside from recruiting, this will probably be the boards biggest obsession going forward and I have found it difficult to keep track of everything floating around. What I have seen the board and in other articles is below. One thing to note is that obviously Offense is Harbaugh's side of the ball, so I'm sure he will have signficant input there and may likely be the play-caller too, so the coaches he brings in may be more geared towards other aspects of coaching perhaps.

OC: Wheatley (Bills RB Coach), Andy Moeller (Browns OL Coach)
Other Offensive Coaches: Vince Marrow (Kentucky TE Coach), Reggie Davis (49er OL Coach, NFL TE), John Morton (49er WR Coach), Ronald Curry (49er Off Asst)

DC: DJ Durkin (ex-DC of florida), Mattison, Lance Anderson (DC at stanford)

Interesting notes about Mattison. Durkin was his Graduate Assistant at Notre Dame; Mattison worked under Jack Harbaugh and with John Harbaugh with the Ravens. Also, he served as a co-dc with Charlie Strong so he has done it before. I'm pretty sold that he is on board for the year - at least.

I'm sure there is a bunch more out there that can help fill the void left by the hopefully foregone conclusion of Harbaugh's arrival.

What do either of those things have to do with him being a good coach? He was a GA for Hoke/Nussmeier, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't only have to coach spread teams.

And I agree Marrow is the better option (look above).

Back in the day we pumped out NFL wide receivers regularly. I thought the WR coach used some unique (at the time) training that involved catching baseballs from a pitching machine. Did we get recruites with NFL potential because the O-Line and QB's were strong, or did the coaching practices make them that much better? Looking forward to a return to those days

Well id be surprised if the entire 49ers staff came to Michigan with Harbaugh, but then again I'd be surprised if they were retained by the new coach. Several of them were brought into the league by Jim, so it wouldn't be crazy for Harbaugh to say to Hackett: we need them, pay them this much.

Now that we have Harbaugh, I think the areas between luxury suites and scoreboards should be filled in with similar luxury suites or covered stadium seating. Season tickets sales will go through roof, increase revenue, increase volume in stadium. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Just signed up today! I hope everyone had a great holiday and looks like it's getting better!
