The Cowboys. 

 

the end is nigh

Are they really this dumb? They have a great defense. They have some really good assistants there they could elevate.

 

If they go this route, we can poach every position coach there. I’m here for it. 
 

I think this is hubris and anger at the last playoff game.

Why Brian Griese left television booth to become 49ers' quarterbacks coach

 

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Brian Griese spent his entire adult life either playing football or talking about it on television. Both jobs had been at the center of the Griese family business for the better part of 55 years, but in February, Griese suddenly found himself at a crossroads.

His time in the Monday Night Football booth was ending after two years, with ESPN hiring what Griese calls a "bigger fish" in Troy Aikman to become the sole analyst. And while lucrative TV deals were almost as prevalent as large player contracts during the NFL offseason, Griese didn't have time to wait to see if one of those offers would materialize if he wanted to pursue a career path that had always been in the back of his mind.

That is how Griese ended up at dinner with San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and his staff on an early March evening. Only a couple of days earlier, Griese reached out to Shanahan through intermediaries in Denver, including Kyle's father, Mike Shanahan, to express interest in becoming the Niners' quarterbacks coach.

Although Griese, 47, had no previous coaching experience, Kyle Shanahan was intrigued. He had interviewed multiple candidates but had known Griese for about 25 years, dating back to Griese's time playing for Mike Shanahan with the Denver Broncos in the late 1990s and as an offensive assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2004 and 2005, when Griese was a player for the Bucs.

The dinner offered a chance for Griese and the Niners' staff to get to know one another, talk about football, life and how he might fit into the San Francisco dynamic. More than that, it was a chance for Shanahan to find out how invested Griese was in such a dramatic career shift.

 

"Brian was very successful, has a family out in Denver, hours change a lot and they all say they know, which he does, but it gets different once you really get into it," Shanahan said. "We really tried to scare the heck out of him, tried to tell him how bad it sucked and how miserable he was gonna be and how much your wife's not gonna like it."

Despite Shanahan and his staff's best efforts at a football edition of "Scared Straight," Griese was unfazed. For every concern Shanahan or another coach broached, Griese had an answer. More importantly, he fit in easily with the other assistants, and although there'd be a learning curve, Shanahan called it an easy decision. Within 48 hours of first contact, Griese was his guy and he soon signed a two-year contract to replace departing quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello.

For the Niners, it was a bold hire given their ongoing quarterback drama. They were about to hand the keys to promising but unproven quarterback Trey Lance and were in the midst of the seemingly never-ending Jimmy Garoppolo saga.

Whether it's a long-term career change for Griese or not remains to be seen. But for now, it's a chance to do something different and scratch his competitive itch, which he'll do again for the 49ers (1-2) when they host the Los Angeles Rams (2-1) on Monday Night Football (8:15 ET, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPN+/ABC).

"I knew this was gonna be a challenge that I was ready for, but you never know until you get into it," Griese said. "There's no winning or losing in the booth. And I enjoyed my time doing it. I really did and there were some leadership aspects to it, of leading a team of 125 or 150 people to go and cover a game and, and to do it well and to do it under the brightest lights and to communicate and to teach the game to people at home. And I enjoyed all of that, but when the game was over, you didn't know if you won or lost."

 

....When Brian Griese informed his father this offseason that he was considering jumping into coaching, his dad had one immediate question: What about your family?

 

Brian's wife, Brook, and his daughter, Lia, and son, Nathan, both of whom are in high school, stayed in Denver after he took the job with the Niners but offered their blessing.

They were the main reason Griese didn't make the jump to coaching sooner and why he chose to enter the booth first.

"My kids were young and I didn't wanna bounce around the country," Griese said. "It was really as simple as that. My family had made sacrifices for me to play for a long time, and I felt like it was time for me to be home. After 13 years, my kids were grown up, they're getting ready to get out of the house. When this opportunity came, it was the right time and it was the right challenge at that moment."

 

JUST BEFORE THE Niners opened training camp July 26, Griese found himself pondering what he would have been doing if he pursued another NFL broadcasting job instead of coming to San Francisco. Aside from spending time with his family, Griese reckoned he'd be meticulously studying NFL rosters for additions and subtractions, learning new coach and player names, jersey numbers and pronunciations and diving deeper into offseason storylines for all 32 teams.

Instead, Griese was planning to guide two young quarterbacks, Lance and seventh-round pick Brock Purdy, through training camp as Garoppolo loomed in the background while recovering from right shoulder surgery.

 

"I was so thankful to be here, let's just put it that way," Griese said, laughing.

Griese took the job assuming Lance would be the starter and Garoppolo would likely be on another team, which is why he and Garoppolo had next to no communication until Garoppolo reported for training camp. Griese spent the offseason working with Lance, Purdy and veteran Nate Sudfeld, whom the 49ers eventually released.

In some ways, it was an easy fit for Griese, whom Shanahan calls "one of the smartest players" he has ever been around. Shanahan remembers his time as a young assistant in Tampa Bay, where he watched Griese prepare for games and marveled at his ability to memorize everything and spit it back without missing a beat.

That Griese could also tap into playing experience earned him instant credibility with the Niners' quarterbacks, who mainly knew him as a broadcaster but soon understood that he spent 11 years in their shoes.

 

The knowledge of little things like how to control the huddle, offering tips on identifying indicators from the defense pre-snap and even how to deal with the media forged easy relationships.

Griese gained that wisdom in his 83 NFL starts with the Broncos, Dolphins, Buccaneers and Bears, which included a Pro Bowl appearance in 2000. He was also the starting quarterback for Michigan's 1997 national championship team.

"He just sees it very similarly to you," Garoppolo said. "It's tough to coach a quarterback. You have to be able to see it the same way as him, which a lot of guys think they do, but they don't. And he just has the experience of being on the field, being in those moments, and it's nice to have a guy like that around."

 

By his own admission, Griese is still trying to figure out his coaching style. It's an ongoing process for any coach, but also one Shanahan wants to help cultivate in an offseason in which the Niners had 14 coaches who were either new or moving into different roles.

All that turnover left Shanahan and his staff holdovers spending more time coaching other coaches on the finer points of how to teach players while understanding their individual quirks and communication needs.

"I would say that's almost all of what coaching is, is 'How do we teach?'" 49ers passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik said. "How do we instill what we know and what we want onto these individuals that may hear things we say in different ways. ... The whole process of that is really the name of the game."

 

IN SOME OF Griese's first weeks on the job, he'd go to Shanahan perplexed about why he would tell a player to do something and the message would seem to be received but wouldn't translate to the field.

"He'd come in and be like, 'Man, why won't they do it?'" Shanahan said. "Well, welcome to coaching, man. You don't just say it and they do it. You gotta reframe it. You gotta get a different way. Not every person thinks the same. Not everybody is physically the same. ... You gotta be yourself but you gotta reach people a different way."

While the appeal of having a result every week was a driving force in his career change, Griese also acknowledges it's a leap he wouldn't have made had it not been for the specific chance to work with Shanahan.

In some ways, Griese and Shanahan are kindred spirits, raised in the daily business of football by fathers known for their ability to be mentally one step ahead of their opponent.

 

"I wasn't looking and I certainly wasn't gonna just take any job," Griese said. "I wasn't gonna come here if I didn't feel 100% good about that. ... It was a unique situation and a unique timing ... those two things coming together led to an opportunity and a decision that I feel really good about."

A month into his first year on the job, Griese is helping the Niners navigate their perpetually murky quarterback waters. He's not yet thinking about moving up the coaching ranks or even how long he plans to do it. As he puts it, his priorities are becoming the best coach he can be and contributing to get the result he has been missing after games: savoring victories rather than agonizing over losses.

"One of our core tenets we talked about in our very first meeting was pushing our comfort zones and challenging ourselves," Griese said. "I'm a lifelong learner. I hope that as long as I'm on this earth, I'm learning and growing. This experience has certainly been that, and I think we are approaching or at least giving ourselves an opportunity to be our best self when we're continuing to grow."

I think he definitely will be on his own here in the rear future as the stand alone OC of a team and even a bit after that a HC… I heard it or read it somewhere, I actually think it was on Ryan Clark’s Podcast “pivot” where they were interviewing GM John Lynch and he stated Griese was the sole reason why the drafted Brock Purdy… said he told Kyle & Co. the kid had something and had the it factor… if all that is true (and I don’t see any reason why Lynch would make it up) clearly the guy has a form of talent evaluation… so we shall see

I can't hate on Jason Wright after one of the mods (I think @Jumbo?) shared that Jason was willing to pay out of pocket to keep ES live when the site went down briefly.

 

Will never say a bad thing about him just because of that.

Yeah kinda agree with this, Wright has never done anything to me and to be honest I’ve never really given it any thought 1 way or the other about him… ppl laugh but I love Podcasts, and I follow a few on YouTube… Ref the District is 1 and they had Jason on 1 of theirs last year and to be honest he seemed like a really likable guy.. I can see him being very PC and all but at my age I grew up knowing the difference between opinion and fact and can still like someone even if we don’t see eye to eye on a matter.  And as someone stated above, we ever start winning and nobody even knows who Jason Wright is…. So let’s win baby

I'm impressed, I had no idea he did that. 

 

This also causes me to consider a personal flaw in my own thought process when it comes to the Commanders.

 

My subjective evaluation of everyone inside that building is skewed towards the negative  simply because they were tainted by the stain of Snyder. 

 

That's just not fair.

I would think the Seahawks would be favored solely cause Cullen was the DL coach several years ago w/Ravens and if the dots connect he and MacDonald more then likely crossed paths … but w/MacDonald being there would anyone (Cullen) only be DC in title but everyone knows MacDonald will be calling the Defense? Being a coordinator by just name without being the guy calling plays matters imho… personally I’d want to be my own DC and not be just by title yet have the HC be the guy running the show… I’d want full rein of the Defense or Offense whichever it was…hope that makes sense

Anyone else gotten more hyped  for the Quinn era?. Players love this dude more than Rivera , and I’m liking his coaching staff candidates. His defense has adjusted from the falcon days .

If going with Kliff is related to a scheme to have Caleb pull an Eli then I’m all for it assuming Peters has Caleb rated as a Mahommes type player. That aspect of it is pretty intriguing.

Wright was an attention seeker. He made himself the spotlight of the rebrand and Sean Taylor memorials. He put out weekly newsletters etc to the fanbase. The dude outright lied to the fanbase about the Sean Taylor number retirement. He has to go period.
 

He hasn’t tweeted a word since the sale because he knows the replies would make him look horrible to his new bosses. The guy 100% needs to be gone. 
 

Would anyone in the fanbase be upset if he is fired? I doubt it unless they are related to him. Would a huge percentage of people who know who he is in the fanbase be happy if he gets shown the door? Absolutely. Dude should have been gone before Ron. 

 

Agree I don't think fans would care if he's fired.  But I also don't know if Harris cares about pandering to the fans who do want him fired.  I suspect he might not because judging by Harris' statements including what some insiders have said from what they heard.  The things they care about as to the business.

 

A.  New stadium

B.  Selling tickets

C. Improving the stadium experience

 

Supposedly Harris thought when he took over was as to the current staff -- business, FO, coaches -- to give them some rope with a lets see how they operate without Dan to see if Dan impinged on their success.  This test didn't play out well for Ron and the FO.  It seems from a distance to be playing out for Wright.  They sold out all their games, suite sales increased, looks like behind the scenes the stadium quest is going well.   And more on point, Ron was fired.  Wright wasn't fired.  So I am guessing he's doing OK with Harris.

 

I got zero rooting interest one way or another about Wright.   But I admit i don't care much about all the nostalgia ceremonies -- I used to like them but now it just depresses me -- the idea that our glory is that far in the past, I feel sad when I hear from Doug or Riggins or all these guys from eons ago these days because it feels so far away.    It's a point that other fan bases now make fun of this team about which is about how ancient it was when we were good and we still try to cling to it.   

 

As for Sean Taylor I was at the games after his death.  Sad as heck.  Legend.  But how they play out this event or that event for him years later, to each their own, but it doesn't drive me anymore.  Or whether they got London Fletcher's name spelled right.  Dan's incompetence has put a stench on everything.  Do I think for example it was Jason who said lets go with a cheap Mannequin  as a tribute -- I doubt it since it wasn't his money -- that felt very Dan who was cheap as heck about almost everything.

 

If this stuff though drives fans still.  It's cool.  No judging from me.  We can all rock the way we want to rock as fans.  But for me personally the winning off the field stuff.  the colors of the uniforms.  Honoring our past.  The Mascot.  Stuff like that almost depresses me a little. 😢. It feels like that's this is team's potential wheel house so hence its the discussion.  We might not win but heck look at those uniforms or whatever.

 

So for me Jason represents that stuff.  So I don't really care.   I know you like to see games on the road as do I, and like to go to these spanking new stadiums.  That's the number thing I want out of this business operation.  Is Jason good or not at that quest?  I got no idea.  But if he's good at it, keep him as far as I am concerned.  If he sucks, remove him.

Or the interview is just a way to gain intel on Caleb. Kliffy is a good offensive mind, though. Its not like he flamed out. He did pretty well as a first time HC. 
 

Count me in on Kliff + Caleb.

Yeah that would be cool - and if people want to say it's a s**tty move for Caleb to try to pull and Eli,  I would also say it's greedy AF for Chicago to try to get a huge draft haul (anything that would require the Skins giving up more than their first this year and a second rounder next year)  for moving down just one spot, so they deserve to be Eli'd

We can line up all the interviews we want but, in the end, I have to believe Jerrah will hire Zimmer again and he (Zimmer) will want his own staff and Witt becomes our DC and hopefully he (Zimmer) allows Al Harris and others that Quinn wants to come to Washington too.  If Jerrah ended up hiring RR, the entire NFL and world would be shocked.  Jerrah isn't stupid.  Zimmer and Jones are tight and he would love to reunited with Zimmer again, I would think.  We just have to wait it out.
