OT: 49ers are cleaning house?
December 31st, 2016 at 8:48 PM ^
That's going to be 4 coaches in 4 years. What a mess.
December 31st, 2016 at 9:09 PM ^
Not a mess! It's just a very clean house.

He should be a hot commodity after the 2017 season.

Firing s black guy after a few wee,s to hire a white guy would bring hellfire upon that program.

They're not going to go after Kelly, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Wille Taggart being a black guy.

It was a stupid fucking post because it has nothing to do with the point.
I don't care about you acknowledging the "basic social dynamic" we live in. I acknowledge it too. It exists. This has nothing to do with it.
Your post is as if the rest of us don't think race plays a factor in decisions in this world? We know it does...but it has nothing to do with THIS example any more than Taggert liking dogs and Chip Kelly being a cat person does.
You don't fire ANYONE you just hired because there may be a sexier candidate.
1. It's WAY too expensive.
2. Media relations would be HORRIBLE (don't care if you fired a white guy for a black guy...you'd get destroyed).
3. You've now set a precedent to all of your coaches in your athletics department that if I see someone who's a "sexier" choice at the time, you're done. I don't care if you haven't even been on the job a month.
4. The negative impact on your current student-athletes.
5. Your own job security. This isn't pro sports and you're an owner where it's a business and YOUR team. An AD is NOT an owner...you will quickly get fired if you're hiring coach after coach after coach. Look around a lot of AD are tied to the coaches they hire and often when those most high profile coaches fail...the AD does as well. If Brady Hoke succeeds at Michigan, there is a decent chance Dave Brandon is still your AD at Michigan - flaws and all. It's no surprise that Brandon truly fell when Hoke was officially done.
None of those have anything to do with race and each of those have much more of an impact in the fact that you're not going to fire Taggert because he's a black man and Chip Kelly is white. I cannot believe you tried to use THIS example to turn MGoBlog into AP Psych or Race in America 101.
Are there a small number of people who'd play that card? AB-SO-FUCKING-LUTLEY...because some people play the race card every chance they can (in both directions). But that doesn't mean it's actually relevant in this case. You can find a small number of people to support anything.

Saying nothing would have been vastly superior to writing 5 point program for why we shouldn't bring up race discussing college football coaching changes
January 2nd, 2017 at 9:52 AM ^
We're talking about ONE situation. Not coaching changes in college football, how stupid are you?
If we're talking about all coaching changes? I 100% agree there should be more black coaches, more black ADs, etc. - I DO think there's a good ol boy network. I do think that it's unfair that some white college coaches get job after job after job (while failing along the way) only to get another job. I do think coaches and admin should look a little more like what's on the field.
...but that's not what we're talking about glewe. Are you that silly that you can't see past what I just said and this instance of Kelly and Taggert? Or are you going to cry about someone who can give a different viewpoint than yours and stand behind it?
...and again, please tell me how I'm white? You don't know me. You've never met me. You've never seen me. There are posters on this board who have. What you just did is a huge problem in this country. And for you to be beating a drum on race and then be kinda of racist - or not racist, but a bigot (there's a difference) - is silly.
You just called me a race based off of very little information. Which means you believe that all people are a certain way because of something I said. That black people can't think a certain way and white people only think a certain way.
That's highly offensive to me. Me? I just give you the middle finger, call you a clown and move on.

You're doing the most again
The comment SalvatoreQuattro made was pretty innocuous: There would be a shitstorm if they fired a newly hired, first ever Black coach to reinstall a white one, particularly in lefty, millennial Oregon
Saying that comment is "irrelevant" in a thread about why they wouldn't fire Taggart to reinstall Kelly is perfectly stupid
January 2nd, 2017 at 9:46 AM ^
HAHAHA
...how do you know I'm white?
This isn't about race, in this instance. Many other things in this country are that people bury their heads in the sand about. Not this one. It would be just as wrong if Kelly was black and Taggert were white or are YOU that much of an idiot to see through your "it's all about race" glasses?
But again, how do you know I'm white? This should be VERY GOOD.
January 3rd, 2017 at 11:43 AM ^
"it's all about race"
Where did I say that?
This should be VERY GOOD.

Exactly. Make a claim but get called out and don't acknowledge it. You know you're wrong for it.

Nah man...there's no need for you and your limited and bigoted point of views on a blog where we have people from everywhere who believe in everything all bonding over one common interest.

They talked about Kelly to Oregon last month on Sirius - I believe they inquired if Kelly had any interest in going back to Oregon and he said he had none. This is why it was never much of a story.

They still have lots of work to do to clean up the quagmire Harbaugh left behind when he ran away after destroying the program. Those poor, poor Yorks...
December 31st, 2016 at 8:51 PM ^
Several of you on here posting about how this year was horrible and how Habaugh is horrible and how he grades out as a B and all other manner of manure and bull shit squared are probably wishing he goes back to the 49ers.
Just stop with all the nonsense. We went 10-3 in back to back years under our coach. The man deserves a raise and not your damn ridicule.

Trying to argue that one of the best 3 coaches in the country hasn't done enough on his home team's blog was "fucking idiot" #1.
Failing to use any logic or facts was "fucking idiot" #2. Then getting destroyed by numbers and facts below was equally as funny.

I love Harbaugh, but recruiting classes don't define a coach. Look at ND.
January 1st, 2017 at 12:21 AM ^
Good point, Brady Hoke is a great example. Instead, player development defines a coach, Harbaugh's track record speaks for itself (think OL at Stanford). His guys have been on the depth chart developing. Year 3 should give a better idea.
January 1st, 2017 at 9:09 AM ^
What are you talking about?
He's proven even at Michigan he's a great coach and he's won big games and close games from being a great coach.
January 1st, 2017 at 1:24 AM ^
year Michigan was relevant. That can't help in recruiting yet here he is top 5 recruiting classes two years in a row. These last 2 years and coaches ways have made UM relevent again, these classes will continue to draw better classes etc...

I'm really starting to hate about 80% of our fan base. I think a lot of you guys need to see a therapist because relying on 18-20 year old guys on a football team to measure your own self worth clearly isn't working.
