Its almost like they need to be embarrassed Sunday and my guess the Spanii still wouldn't fire him.

granted, I think they win Sunday and the defense has a good game and get multiple sacks and they will win comfortably 31-14

Ben Johnson HC
Kellen Moore OC (if he wants to stay)
Joe Cullen DC

I like this game. Here’s my wishful thinking.

GM Alec Halaby

HC- Frank Smith
OC- Mark Brunnel
DC- Mike Zimmer
ST/Assistant HC- Ficken
Oline Coach- Scott Peters
WR Coach- Andrew Hawkins
Dline Coach- Jay Rodgers
QB Coach- J.T Barrett
Assistant QB Coach- Pat White

I'm down with Frank Smith as HC. But I'd prefer not to saddle Herbert with yet another OC change, so I'd try to keep Moore at all costs.

Not even remotely comparable to Staley.

Johnson will have 12 years in the NFL and two as an OC at the end of the season.

Staley had only 4 years in the NFL and one season as a DC when he was hired.

Johnson is more like Nick Sirianni, who was in the league for 12 years and was OC at Indy for three seasons before getting the Philadelphia job.

Johnson is an offensive coach who is fully vested in the current NFL. Harbaugh has not coached in the NFL for a decade. Belichick is old and crotchety. I'll take Johnson over either all day long.

Jim Harbaugh > Ben Johnson

* You should review Dick Vermeil's coaching gap & success between his Eagles days to his Rams days!

I was contemplating keeping more as well. My thought process around this was, bringing in 2 offensive minds from explosive offenses and building a coaching tree when they get hired away. I know it’s another system but it would be anyways to some degree with any other offensive minded HC.

Harbaugh has probably forgot more about football than Johnson knows. Surely BB has.

I'm not saying Johnson will surely fail but for me,.....I'm tired of the failed repeat of first time HCs. And all were fine OCs.....except for Lynn who was just a RB coach but got to be an intern HC for 1 or 2 games.

Then we likely have to put up with JohnBoy or Dean finding another cheap GM before the rookie HC debacle.

Harbaugh should also have a leg-up in the next few draft classes coming from college and specifically recruiting (even illegally perhaps).
He is hungry to match and beat his brother's success at the NFL level.
hell, he can hire greg roman if he wants to recreate that SF team. Herbert would be amazing in that offense.

Joe Cullen has had a lot of success as a defensive line coach, which is where he will most likely stay. After his previous issues with alcoholism, which included driving through a Wendy's drive-thru naked, right or wrong I don't think the Spanos family will be interested in him running the defense. He was the defensive coordinator under Urban Meyer in Jacksonville and wasn't retained after Urban's disastrous run as the Jaguars' head coach.
