Sorry I'm not sorry for the recent absence of posts. Not getting paid to do this, so Honer Sports followers should know that blogs are prone to mysterious vanishings every now and then. Jumping back into the blog waters should be for positive news but unfortunately, it's now usually for ripping the upper management down there in Santa Clara that continues to baffle it's loyal fan base every other day. So lets get to it!
The Head Coach search before today: These coaches were either interviewed or have shown interest:
Mike Shanahan (interested), Mike Holmgren (interested), Hue Jackson (interviewed), Tom Coughlin (interviewed), Chip Kelly (interviewed), Dirk Koetter (49ers interested) and Anthony Lynn (interviewed).
-The 49ers viewed Hugh Jackson as the "front-runner" for their head coaching job, while Chip Kelly and Tom Coughlin are also being considered. Koetter will most likely be hired/promoted by the Bucs, Lynn is the offensive equivalent to Jimmy-T so he won't be hired. No offers have been officially made to any head coach candidate (good strategy...not).
Fast Forward to today: The 49ers top choice in Hugh Jackson just chose the Cleveland Browns over the San Francisco 49ers. That's right, Cleveland Browns football is more appealing of a coaching situation than the San Francisco 49ers.

Did El Mijo call this? You damn right he did!
Media member - "I’m just curious if you feel that because of what’s happened, both before you hired Harbaugh and since the way that relationship devolved, all the others things, that this might be a tough sell for an experienced, high-powered coach, qualified coach, that they might not be interested in coming to work here?"
Jed York - “I’m not concerned about that.”
-You should be, because it might cost you the coach you really want and you'll be stuck hiring your Running Back coach. (ten bucks says Tom Rathman will score an interview)

In 49er Banana-Land, we have the most coveted and desired head coaching vacancy in all of the NFL! Who wouldn't want to come here? Especially with those California traffic, taxes and shit, talk about a steal!
In 49er reality however, no top candidate in their right mind would want to deal with this front-office/owner and you're most likely going to get low-balled with any offer you get. You also agree to be Trent Baalke's public "fall guy" during the games you lose and have to kiss every 49er employee's ass as soon as you walk into the building, every day.
Congrats to the Cleveland Terd Crapley's for surpassing the 49ers on the NFL Totem-Pole! Here's some Perd Hapley videos to help you celebrate.

My guess is that Chip Kelly will be your new head coach of the 49ers. The Marketing/PR team would love to have the former Oregon coach to sell more band-wagon seats and Baalke figures Kelly can fix Kaepernick and this anemic offense! Hiring Chip Kelly would be a mistake however. Why, you ask? Very simple. If you can't take down the SeeenBino in Oregon, how are you going to be able to do it with Jed York in Santa Clara?
