I know the 49ers aren't having the best season, but are they seriously thinking about moving on from Shanahan now? If they did, Zygi should be the first caller to bring him here. I guess the current zone blocking, Minnesota personal history, and Kirk would be pretty enticing for KS as well but I can't see them letting him go.

Who would be surprised if Zimmer is fired? Seriously? Come on now.
Zimmer…!?  B)

If you remember at the time Thielen wasn’t happy either. Everyone thought it was all about Cousins. I don’t believe it was. I think it was more about the system and what the offense was allowed to do. Now we hear Adam starting to be vocal in the media again. Albeit not nearly as vical as Diggs was.
I think that is the key difference. Diggs would do his cryptic shit tweets and approached from the petulant diva method. Thielen has been critical, but seems to come in more of a measured and professional approach.
Does Rick go too, or just Zim? For better or worse, I think Rick stays. I could be way off about that though.

It's weird because I have heard both. Some say that it's either both Zimmer and Spielman or just Zimmer. You would think it would make sense to get rid of both and start over. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

My guess it will be only Zimmer...Spielman is more than likely going to throw him under the bus...

I think Zimmer is doing a fine job of throwing himself under-the-bus without any help from Spelly.
I do not think Spelly and Zimmer are a package deal.
I think it is likely Spelly stays on and helps hire his second HC. I would be fine with that and I would also be fine if they decide a full clean slate.

The buzz starting up now that I’ve seen a few times is Kyle Shanahan to the Vikings in 2022. Of course it makes sense. Would it really happen though?
I think its very possible. And I'd be for it. He's an excellent coach and game strategist, IMO. Still young at 41. I just read he was born in Minneapolis?? I'd love to see him coach Cousins and mentor a young, drafted QB (Mond or someone new).
I’d be for it too. My favorite, though probably never will happen candidate is Kellen Moore, but I’d be good with Shanahan. I want to see the O go through the roof for a change.
I was reading that Kellen Moore said he was good where he is but can always change. I am curious if Shanahan could be successful here, at least he is innovative.
Why would Shanahan be available? He has been given full control and was handpicked by Lynch. They have a had major injury problems well beyond the roller-coaster with Jim G. Do we assume Lynch or shananhan made the decision to draft Lance? Bottom line for me on Shanahan is if he is let go that would be a huge red flag for me because that would mean Lynch lost faith in him.
Moore is just so inexperienced in life and coaching 
But I am keeping a close eye on these guys the rest of the season. I want someone with an OC background. So, I want to watch how the offenses of Dallas, Bills, Panthers, Rams and they under-the-radar Byron Leftwich of the Buccs, finish the season and then perform in the playoff matchups....which will be very revealing.
This is also why you wait until the end of the season to start fresh - unless you have a guy inhouse already.

Who knows? maybe he decides he wants a change. There is a lot of talk about both Shanahan and Lynch leaving but time will tell. Sometimes a coach will hit somewhere else.
Yeah Moore is an interesting one. He is young but maybe that makes him hungry and innovative.
I am definitely watching to see who is available to see how the teams you listed are doing. We also have to consider who else is looking for a coach.
A guy in house? Not so sure about that. This season is going to be long and agonizing. That royally sucks.

No, you're right. There is an obvious problem...and it sure as hell ain't Rick Spielman. No, that whole "rebuild from the ground up" nonsense is just talk radio blather. This isn't the Jets or the Texans. Teams like this don't do complete rebuilds.
