49ers OL coach reportedly offered the job

[snkdy]

Don't know how reliable this guy is though.

[Jdubu]

Did they let our oline coach go yet? 

[krunk]

I think he is reliable. He was the first guy to break the news about Monachino

No.

[SkyBane]

Weren't the reports that our O line coach's contract was up and we just didn't re sign him?

[Jdubu]

Idk didn't see that. I'm hopeful he never sees the colts locker room again though. Lol

[COLTS449]

I don't know much about him but we all agree we need to get somebody new. Obviously we have to add some talent at Guard and Center. But we also need a new OL coach.

[Dark Superman]

Sign Boone.

[Gavin]

He was also the Colts TE coach in 2002-2003

One of them didn't have to be released because his contract was up, not sure who.

Hmm you think he will accept?

The 49ers currently do not have a head coach. It's likely that with a new coach comes a new philosophy and a new staff. Therefore, it's likely that he may accept this position.

[Jackie Daytona]

of course they offered him, he was BALTIMORE'S OL coach from 2005 ( I think ) to 2007.... he's familiar with Pags

Pagano was the Raiders Secondary coach from 2005-2006 after that in 2007 he spent a year as North Carolinas D Coordinator. From all that I have read and am continuing to read neither he or Pagano have been on the same coaching staff ever, Pagano did not arrive in Baltimore until 2008. Foersters last year with Baltimore was 2007

Did they (Colts)let the Linebacker's Coach go? Hope so, need some fresh minds, new schemes to built the Monster....

Yes. Fitzgerald was let go.

[GoColts00]

Chris Foerster was the OL coach for Baltimore in 2007 when Willis McGahee was top 5 in Rushing. He was also the OL coach in Washington when Alfred Morris was top 5 for 2 years in a row.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, but he might just be the OL coach we need!!

[RollerColt]

Give this man a pen and sign him!

[CR91]

he does have a really good track record with the 49ers. coached guys like joe staley alex boone mike upatui and anthony davis

[NewColtsFan]

 

Whoever we get,  I'm hoping -- I mean, SERIOUSLY HOPING -- that we are switching to zone blocking and doing less man blocking.

 

Nothing would make me happier.     In fact,  it's number one on my wish list.   

 

Absolutely, positively, number one on my wish list.    I've been wanting this for years,  but I knew Pep was married to man blocking because that's what Stanford does.       That's fine at Stanford.    Less fine on the NFL level.

 

Hopefully, we'll know more this week......

Foerster is reportedly a hybrid guy who leans toward ZBS. So I'm a fan.

[Shepman]

Stampede Blue says we are interviewing 3 guys for the position

I noticed his years with the Redskins and how they coincide with the couple of really good years for Alfred Morris.  

 

I believe the line got very good reviews in opening holes for a literal unknown running game to have a couple of very good years.     That looks good on a resume'....

I don't think most of those guys were there with Foerster...   he wasn't on the team when that group was there.

 

He was coaching other teams.      See Gavin's post with Foerster's Wiki page and the years he was with SF and they years he was elsewhere.

 

Not much overlap with those guys.

 

But he's still got a very nice resume'.

 

[krunk]

I think Zone Stretch is where we are headed. Foerster is probably who they will hire. If you type Rob Chudzinski Zone Running or Rob Chudzinski Zone Blocking Scheme in google almost all the info that comes up links Chud to the Zone Stretch blocking scheme. I know just about for certain its what they ran with Cam Newton

[krunk]

Just to follow up on what Supe said, Foerster is known for the ZBS and is who Mike Shanahan hired when he bought his Denver ZBS to the Redskins. I clearly remember the Ravens running ZBS when they had Mcgahee which Foerester was the OL coach. If this is where we are going im cool with it because to me it means we will also be a heavy play action team and every body knows i luv me some play action!

[lollygagger8]

ZBS, play action, good coaching.....now go get some O-Linemen, and I'm excited! 

[krunk]

Carolina Panthers Rob Chudzinski   http://nflsfuture.com/2012/03/28/team-by-team-offensivedefensive-schemes/     Richie Cummins Chudzinski uses a vertical passing game, and zone blocking In the run game ,Cam Newton did good under him. Anyone is better the Roman.https://www.facebook.com/NinersNation.49ers/posts/10152636938687532 Stretch/Zone

[ProblChld32]

Id gladly accept the position if i were him. A young QB, Some Solid Proven guys in Castonzo & Mewhort, Some promising players in Good and mid tier Draft picks. this might be the best situation for him. 

[Mameluc]

so i suck at evaluating OL and understanding some basic principles....does Mewhort fit as a Zone blocker? When i see him play i see he handles well going just ham on a dude but when having to pull it doesnt seem he is that natural...anyone who is good at this feel free to correct me or give any input?

 

thanks!

[jet1968]

Sounds like an upgrade for the offensive line coaching positions.

All of our current starting O Linemen fit the scheme...I actually thought the only current starting O Lineman we have that fit the Man/Power Blocking scheme we used mostly was Thornton because of his ability to maul D Linemen(Which I don't think we see enough because of poor technique and slow hands and I think he was playing injured much of the year)

yea I liked Thornton because he seemed to be our only OL that could jsut maul people over with raw strength. Its a shame he never seems to get it together, I am of the bandwagon, he had his chances

I still haven't quit on him yet(Because of his high potential). I think we need to draft someone to compete with him but I'd give him another year assuming he can keep his starting job over the potential draft pick

I believe I read on this forum we have two OL coaches, one who had a contract expire and one who has a year left.

Sounds right, we likely are attempting to replace the expired one with Foerster then rather than attempting to negotiate a new deal with who we had. Seems legit.
