Gruden fires defensive coordinator Joe Barry

I don't even know why we have the Rooney Rule or why it is expanded to coordinator hires if it's not going to be enforced. Waste of time.

Agreed. Stupid. Clearly just putting on airs.

Of course I don't think the rule should exist in the first place, but let's not turn this into a debate about affirmative action. We're going to let me voice my opinion on the matter and let that be the end of it.

I believe Wilks already interviewed. It was reported on NFL.com earlier this week, but it is not there now...

Don't be surprised if Manusky is our next DC and Ron Jeremy (Jim Tomsula) gets hired as a DL coach.

From Matt Barrows (covers the 49ers)

Am told former #49ers HC Jim Tomsula is on Washington's radar as that team fills out its coaching staff. Tomsula was out of football in '16.

Which will confirm my biggest fears. Neither Bradley nor Pettine wants to come here and we have no choice but to promote from within and hire guys who couldn't get hired last year. This is horrible.

Tomsula might be a good d-line coach, but Manusky as coordinator reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally stretches my faith in Jay. No idea how a retread like that would even be in consideration. If they get the job/s it would take a major infusion of talent for me to even be confident about next year. The fact that Wade had concerns about our talent and we think we're a couple pieces away tells me they are looking for a guy who also thinks we're a couple pieces away. My long term outlook would be very poor if that's the case.

Manusky did a great job here in SF, unfortunately the offense sucked. I saw what he did here and I think he's as good as Bradley and Pettine. He has played for Richie Petitbone, is a former player (the other 2 aren't) dude is fucking intense and would probably jump on the field. Tomsula is a solid DL coach who did a great job and got him promoted to HC (he didn't do well there). I wouldn't have a problem with him as our DC. Vrabel would be my #1 choice and he's very much like Manusky.

I would be encouraged about Manusky and I might be the only one. He has experience, he did great with Scot when he was on the 49ers.

He also had the best group of our defense. The Linebackers all improved and he got the best out of mediocre unit between Foster and Will Compton.

We really need an experienced defensive coordinator coming in. I think bringing in another guy doing his first or second round as a DC is a bit risky.
