Maybe they couldn't get a bigger or better name...we did read that Williams declined to be considered for the job....maybe other coaches did the same.
Funniest part of that story (other than Nolan becoming head coach) is that Wade Phillips' has a dad named Bum Phillips. Bum? LMAO
Good luck, 49ers fans

Bum Phillips was the Oilers coach during the Earl Campbell days. You've probably seen him a few times on NFL Films roaming the sidelines with his big cowboy hat

haha - well he concentrates on defense.. Not meaning he's some sort of Gregg Williams or anything.
Honestly, I'm just relieved they didn't take Blache. I think he may be the unsung hero of our defense.

Apprently Nolan's dad is a former San Fran head coach (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/NolaDi0.htm)-who used to have Steve Spurrier on his team

George Edwards has supposedly joined Nick Saban's staff in Miami. Not sure in what capacity
Isnt Mike Nolan the guy who's always talking smack about the Skins??
Yes and he continued that smack at his news conference. George Michaels ran it on the 6:00 sports report. He put down the Skins. Not to sure if it was Norv he was putting down or the owner. But when he commented on all the great coaches he has worked with he mentioned everyone except Norv.

Wow...I at least want San Fran to be somewhat competitive when they play us...we had even taken their field goal kicker...lol
Seriously though....wow talk about a Franchise that has went down the tubes. I honestly used to be scared when I saw San Fran on the schedule for us! Now...I would love it if we played them twice a year!
It is so weird how things have changed....I used to make fun of New England because they were THE worst team in the league......and San Fran had the dynasty. Now, the roles are reversed....well if NE wins the SB this year too...

Funny you say that, the roles have indeed been reversed (http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2005/01/19/krafts_generous_with_their_advice?mode=PF)
