^^^^^^Yes! He groomed Matt Ryan and is also a proven play caller. He also runs a pro style offense. Even though he only coached 2 years, he put up much more wins than losses at BC. If they're looking for a long term solution, they should be looking at college ranks. Jag has to prove he belongs in the NFL as a HC. This dude won't leave after a year...I just don't see it.

Lets go ahead and bring in Jeff Jagodzinski as our OC (former Boston College HC). BC ran a pro style offense and Jagodzinski worked with ROY Matt Ryan. If he were to be hired, I would see him sticking around for a awhile until a Head Coaching position becomes available for him. He would definitely need to prove himself again that he is capable of running an NFL team.

Your thoughts?

Upon further review, the 49ers are interested in Jeff Jagodzinski after all.

The team interviewed the controversial former Boston College coach on Tuesday in Mobile, Ala., the site of the upcoming Senior Bowl.


Jagodzinski, 45, is the latest to audition for the vacant offensive coordinator job. He is the first to meet with team officials since Scott Linehan, the former St. Louis Rams coach, turned down the 49ers’ offer Sunday.

Linehan’s decision apparently opened a door that had been closed to Jagodzinski. A week ago, a source close to the 49ers said the team had no plans to interview the fired Boston College coach.

The denial came shortly after Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post reported on Jan. 12 that the 49ers’ had interest Jagodzinski.

On Tuesday, Jagodzinski indeed met with Coach Mike Singletary and General Manager Scot McCloughan. There were some tough questions to be asked.

Jagodzinski recently contacted the New York Jets about their head-coaching vacancy then lied about it, according to reports. Boston College Athletic Director Gene DeFilippo responded by firing the coach with three years remaining on Jagodzinski’s five-year contract.

A native of Milwaukee, Jagodzinski has more than 20 years coaching experience at the college or professional level.

His NFL experience includes the 2006 season as the Green Bay Packers’ offensive coordinator under Coach Mike McCarthy. That team finished ninth in the NFL in yards and 22nd in the league in points.

Jagodzinski also coached Packers tight ends (1999-03) and the Atlanta Falcons offensive line (2004-05).

He becomes the fifth person to interview for the 49ers vacancy, following Linehan, Colts receiver coach Clyde Christensen, former Browns offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and Broncos assistant Rick Dennison (who has since accepted a job to stay with in Denver).

The 49ers will be represented for the second consecutive year during the Super Bowl coin toss ceremony prior to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa on Feb. 1

The Super Bowl coin toss ceremony will include greats from Super Bowls 10, 20 and 30 years ago. Roger Craig will represent the 49ers. Craig earned three Super Bowl rings in his career.



Craig is the first player to score three touchdowns in a Super Bowl. He made four Pro Bowl appearances and rushed for 13,143 yards and 73 career touchdowns. Craig was a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the first time, but he did not advance to the final round.



The others who will participate in the ceremony are the Steelers' Lynn Swann and the Broncos' John Elway. A star from 40 years ago, Joe Namath, will participate in the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation following the game.



The Super Bowl was viewed by more than 148 million people in the U.S. last year. The game will be broadcast in more than 230 countries and territories.



Last year, the memory of Bill Walsh was honored during the coin-toss ceremony. Walsh's son, Craig, was joined by Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice and Steve Young at midfield.

Williams, 24, did not play this past season due in part to a suspension after being cited with possession of marijuana.

Williams was suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the first five games of the 2008 campaign, but had already been cut by the Falcons.

49ers sign return specialist
http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/49ers/archives/018885.html?mi_rss=49ers%20Blog and Q&A
The 49ers have signed return man Micheal Spurlock to a futures contract, according to the league's transaction report. The 5-10, 214-pound Spurlock played for the Buccaneers in 2007. That season, he returned 16 kicks for 444 yards, including a 90-yard touchdown. In fact, that return was the first kickoff return for a touchdown in Buccaneers history. (see below) He also returned four punts for 30 yards. Spurlock played wide receiver at Ole Miss and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cardinals in 2006. He spent last season on Tampa Bay's practice squad

Futures contracts are low-risk deals that typically involve back ups and practice-squad players. Spurlock's signing is notable because the 49ers' return man last season, Allen Rossum, will be a free agent at the end of next month.

Report: Dan Reeves to interview for OC
http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/49ers/archives/018892.html?mi_rss=49ers%20Blog and Q&A
Wow. The 49ers news is coming fast and furious this morning. The latest comes courtesy of Fox Sports' Jay Glazer who reports that former Broncos, Giants and Falcons head coach Dan Reeves will be interviewing for the team's vacant offensive coordinator position. Per Glazer, Reeves, 65, will be visiting within the next 24 hours.

Reeves became the league's youngest head coach in 1981 when he took over the Broncos. He led the Broncos to three straight Super Bowl apprearances in the 1980s, one of them a 55-10 loss to the 49ers. Reeves is a protege of former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry. Reeves coached under Landry in the 1970s. In 1977, he became the Cowboys' offensive coordinator, running the offense and coaching the quarterbacks and wide receivers. He has been out of coaching since 2003, his last season with the Falcons.
