When have they ever conducted a smart coaching search? Moeller was handed the job from Bo. They elevated Carr after Moeller got too blotto in public. After Carr, they zeroed in on DickRod who was never, ever going to fit there. Then they bungled the search after they canned his ass and hired a < .500 career coach because he was a "_ichigan _an." After he predictably flamed out they stumbled into Harbrau because the Niners couldn't stand his weird ass anymore after he led them to a SuperBowl and 3 NFC Championship appearances in 4 years. Even he was wholly underwhelming until he started cheating his ass off. Then they had to elevate a guy no one else would hire as a HC because the job was nuclear waste at the time. They obviously didn't check him out too well because...well. Now they're gonna conduct a measured, thorough search? They haven't done that in over half a century since they hired Bo.
