Has anybody ever heard of any organization firing their HC but keeping their OC & DC on the back burner for a new HC to approve?

Yes... it's fairly common. More so with position coaches perhaps, but happens with Coordinators as well.

Thing that surprised me was that we were granting teams permission to talk to Flip about OC jobs since he was obviously atop our "may keep" list. I can see him OC'ing for Fisher and the Rams, and they will be in position to decide and offer long before our new HC will.

Wish De Filippo good luck. He's not bad!

OK, like I said, good for him. I am not sure why his experience as a one year OC for a 3-13 team gets him an interview. (though I did not think he did a bad job)

....now if Jim O'Neil were interviewing for an HC job....the people that would have lined up that interview would have probably needed a psychiatric evaluation)

O'Neil won't even get interviews to be a water boy.

His best chance is if Pettine gets a DC job somewhere - he'd probably bring O'Neil on as a position coach.

My only question would be: if he is interviewing for OC....how can that be if they have not hired the HC yet?

Of course, that may be the 49er way of doing things.

Sorry, but I think at this point that the 49ers are a more dysfunctional organization than the Browns have been.

I still hope we get a D coach who keeps him...
