An elite QB can overcome a dipshit HC/OC (Peyton). A good HC/OC can design an offense around the shortfalls of his QB and be competitive (Harbaugh/Smith). |

no, the 49ers are designed around that fierce defense.

well, JH did improve the team and it came from some tweaks to the offense -- mainly a boot up their collective ass. Gore is playing better this season, the WR's are playing better also, and of course, Alex Smith is more consistent. But as far as what makes the 49ers a force, it all starts with the defense. JH is a lot like Haley, he has the whole team playing up to speed, just needs to be more consistent.

Of course haley should have been fired. The team was awful last year.
Crennell shouldn't finish out the season this year, either. |

I think Haley was perceived as a bad game day coach because he was saddled to a QB he didn't believe in.
When a man (Haley) is without water (a QB) and walking through the desert (the NFL), he might have to drink his own pee (fake punt with Brodie Croyle) to stay alive. People that have water whenever they want see a man drinking his own pee as crazy. Unfortunately, Haley had to drink his own pee a lot because Pioli wouldnt allow him a glass of water. |

This is being romanticized just a bit much. |

But, I dont think its fair to judge him on his time with such a limited passer as Matt Cassel. |

That's the kind of mindset that leads to discussions with stuff like "it's not fair to judge Cassel until his line is better". I hope someday we as a fanbase can move away from that kind of stuff. We're so predisposed to settle.

Do you think Haley would have still gotten fired? Of course not. The guy made chicken salad out of chicken shit in 2010 and you can only hide a turn for so long before people start asking why it stinks. |

I also think there are many more issues behind the scenes than just Haley or just Cassel. We're oversimplifying what I think amounts to a pretty complex failure. |

What's really sad is that through watching/hearing about Haselbeck's relationship w/ Locker and what a wonderful mentor he's been for him, I realize we could have had that. Hasselbeck could have made Dalton even better than he is now.
