IMHO - It would seem odd for him, no matter how much he loves Michigan, to go from being a high priced DC to a position coach reporting to another much younger DC.

I thought the point is that he's still on contract, so his title and responsibilities will change, but his salary will remain. It's worth it to the university because his salary is sunk costs - if they replace him, they'll still have to pay. It's ok with him b/c he wants to live here anyway, knows the new staff, and will get to downshift towards retirement with the same massive income but less responsbility.

"Coaching with Jim Harbaugh would have been like coaching with three Vince Lombardis and one and a half Bill Cowhers. But now that my ship has sailed, I will spend time with my family and await my next, greatest opportunity."

I would love to get Coach Soup back.

I like it! Two good recruiters there. I bet Wheatley will do a great job at the RB Coach position, and recruit it well too. Looking forward to 2015 and beyond!

Whichever coaches Harbaugh selects are good enough for me, but just for discussion sake, I will note that people seem to be getting way too excited about DJ Durkin as DC. The guy has had one year as a DC, and it was under a head coach whose bread and butter is the DC position.
Again, if Harbaugh says that's good enough for him, then that's good enough for me but as of this minute that is a key coaching staff position that concerns me more than any other. I assume Harbaugh is all over the offensive coaching positions so I am not concerned there. But with defense, I just would hate to see another Rich Rod and Jeff Casteel situation.
I am not personally swayed too much by the reports of TAMU wanting Durkin. I feel that TAMU is on the decline.

In Harbaugh we trust. He knows what he is doing. If Harbaugh wants Roman (or anyone else) as his OC, we should support his decision.
December 28th, 2014 at 7:23 PM ^
Harbaugh will hold him accountable. . .
December 28th, 2014 at 6:55 PM ^
The prospect of Durkin, Mattison, and Manning all recruiting for 1 defense sounds pretty good.

stellar but he's no Borges either.

Don't get the Roman hate based on just one bad year in the NFL. I think he'll be fine.
December 28th, 2014 at 7:05 PM ^
I tend to agree. They've gotten two years of pretty good production out of a QB who can't throw for shit. I don't think a down year this year negates that.

That Harbaugh hired him to be his OC at Stanford and then took him to SF, aren't you? Since we want Harbaugh because he's a terrific coach and motivator, why wouldn't we want his handpicked staff as well?

I would like to see Mattison retained or in this case I suppose, rehired. Would his contract have to be re-worked?
I don't know enough about the other potential staff members to comment.
As far as Greg Roman as our OC, would his play calling be similar to that of Doug Nussmiers??
Anyone?? Also, glad to see Tyrone Wheatley named as well.
Should be an interesting next couple of days.
Do any of you know if the 49er's Press conference (Post Game) will be live online?
Thanks and GO BLUE.......

Teams get nine. However, there are only eight in the OP so he is short one.
