Chudzinski, Linehan will interview for 49ers’ OC job
http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/01/08/chudzinski-linehan-will-interview-for-49ers-oc-job/


At this time last year, Rob Chudzinski signed a three-year contract extension with the Browns rather than interview for the Baltimore Ravens coaching job.

Now, with Cleveland expected to hire Jets quarterbacks coach Brian Daboll as its offensive coordinator, Chudzinski is looking for work with his three-year extension in hand. He might not have to wait long to find it.

Chudzinski will interview Saturday with San Francisco, which is looking to match head coach Mike Singletary with a bright, progressive mind. One day before Chudzinski is scheduled to interview, San Francisco is scheduled to kick off its offensive coordinator search with former St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan.

Linehan and Chudzinski will be the first two candidates to interview for the 49ers offensive coordinator job, but they are not expected to be the last. San Francisco plans to speak with six or seven candidates and have them meet with Singletary before making a final decision. This is one it wants to get right. It has not always done that in the past.

San Francisco has gone through offensive coordinators the way the Raiders have gone through head coaches.

Since 2003, the 49ers have had a different offensive coordinator every season: Martz, Jim Hostler (2007), Norv Turner (2006), Mike McCarthy (2005), Ted Tollner (2004) and Gregg Knapp (2001-03).

Now, the 49ers will have their seventh offensive coordinator in seven years. But it looks like it’s going to be a good one.

Maclin might be worth a look for 49ers on draft day
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/49ers/2009/01/08/maclin-might-be-worth-a-look-for-49ers-on-draft-day/

On Friday, in a move that would otherwise not get much attention out in the Bay Area, Missouri receiver Jeremy Maclin will announce whether he’ll skip his junior season (that’s right, he’s a sophomore after the redshirt) and go pro.

Bet on a trip to the NFL. It’s a foregone conclusion.


A friend of mine from the University of Missouri is already campaigning hard for the 49ers consider him at No. 10. Here’s the case he laid out for Maclin:

–He’s a two-time All-American return man
–He set national freshman record for all-purpose yards
–He is F-A-S-Freaking-T.

He said that anyone who thought the 49ers missed their chance at DeSean Jackson, should know that Maclin is a better returner, maybe faster, and he’s more of a true receiver who catches the ball near the line of scrimmage.

For an idea of his burst, here’s a youtube clip.

I can’t say I’ve studied Maclin and I have not run his name past anyone at the 49ers.

There might be better picks out there — Taylor Mays?? — but it stands to reason that the 49ers would spend a whole lot of time evaluating Maclin.

Damn never heard of Maclin before. After watching this video, damn he is really fast and has some nice cuts in the lanes. BUT DAMN HE'S QUICK!

I don't know if the 9ers should draft him @ #10 though. I wish he would still be available in the 2nd round, but I highly doubt it.

 

[hella_numb]

jackson fell to the 3rd round, i can easily see this guy available in the 2nd round

 

[PoLLo LoC831]

JUST SEEN A FEW OF Taylor Mays HIGHLIGHTS HE LOOKS LIKE A BEAST AT S MAYBE WE SHOULD GET HIM!



Rose Bowl 2009 Taylor Mays Hit

Nah he only lasted until mid 2nd round

Yeah he is a beast no doubt. But this video shows highlights against Cal. Too bad we couldn't see him play in the National Championship against the Gators or something.

 

[PoLLo LoC831]

[DUTCH-F.E]

Linehan also Interviews
http://49ers.com/blog49/?p=399
Scott Linehan is also interviewing this afternoon for the offensive coordinator position.



Linehan most recently served as the head coach of the St. Louis Rams, a job he took in 2006. He was dismissed after a poor start to the 2008 season.



Linehan has coordinating experience, having served in that capacity for the Minnesota Vikings from 2002-2004, and for the Dolphins in 2005.



In 2002 when Linehan took over, his Vikings offense jumped from 12th overall to a second ranked unit in total offense. They ranked 9th in passing and first in rushing.



In 2003, the Vikings offense ranked first in total offense with an average 393.4 yards per game. They ranked fourth overall in both the run and pass.



In 2004, the Vikings offense ranked fourth overall, with a second ranked passing offense and an 18th ranked rushing offense.



During his one year with the Dolphins, Miami ranked 14th overall, a year after finishing at 29th overall. They had a 12th ranked rushing offense and a 16th ranked passing offense.



Linehan has also coached wide receivers and quarterbacks at the college level.

Taylor Mays would be nice but he might be gone by #10 depending on how his combine goes. Not to mention his highlights only consist of big hits. I'd like to see more INTs or forced fumbles on his highlight reel. He'd be a major upgrade over bitch ass Mark Roman either way, because Roman never forced turnovers AND never delivers any big hits.

I was thinking about Maclin and I think he'd be a nice pickup, but I don't know how Mike Singletary is going to approach the draft. I think we'll have a better idea after free agency. If we wind up with TJ Hoosh we definitely won't be looking at Jeremy Maclin. If Nolan was still here we wouldn't be looking at Maclin at all for the fact he is a WR. We'll see what Singletary does.

I think we should take Mays if he's available, if not we should look at Maclin unless for some reason Crabtree is still there (which won't happen).

 

[YUNG $PIDER]

yea mays should be our pick

See! Someone agrees that Taylor Mays should be our 1st pick! I've been saying that shit for the past 2 months! Everyone just blows me off! Mark Roman is done. Singetary is going defense all the way. Defensive players are cheaper than offensive players. Lets just hope we can get TJ. He'll be a great possession and red zone receiver we've been waiting for.

 

[YUNG $PIDER]

is bruce staying another year ?

 

[TRAJIK1]

i think so. the more i watch the more i think if crabtree isnt around that we should pick up mays

 

[M.o.B]

i think so. the more i watch the more i think if crabtree isnt around that we should pick up mays
