Good point diesel330. Given the way the “Saints” went out to injure the 9ers I wouldn’t give them anything either. On the other hand, I doubt that this is making Donatell a happy employee…
====================================

So, they went out to injure players in a game IN WHICH THEY WEREN’T EVEN PENALIZED????

I have to hand it to Goodell. He knows his target audience mentality.

almost doesnt count… plus the power going out definitely had something to do with that “greatest comeback of all time”
—————————————
How on earth do people seem to think this helped anyone? The 49ers came out of that blackout with a 3rd and 13 that they didn’t get and immediately had to punt.

———————————-

It was statistically the greatest comeback in Superbowl history. So putting quotes around it doesn’t make any sense.

They want to keep him and they should. His contact is setup to allow the team to do this and he is fine with it. Don’t read too much into this, try to be a big boy fan.

The fact that the secondary is the weakest part of the team centers around talent and not coaching, If you are going to armchair QB, try to do it with some intelligence. The 9ers lack talented corners behind Rogers, who is a solid #2. Brown is average. Culliver is suspect. They need a number 1 CB.

Can’t even tell you the name of the packers rb, Michael Turner got sidelined, and Ray Rice was a non factor. Better hope the rumors are not true and we trade for Revis

As a 9ers fan, I’m only concerned as to why they are so keen on keeping the coach of the biggest weakness on their team. What’s next, promoting the special teams coach?

Fair move on their part.

On the flip side, the 49ers secondary is by far the weakest unit on their team, so why would the Saints want him?

It would actually have been a smart move by the 49ers to let him go.

I guess this shows how far this 49er organization has come from the values of a guy like Bill Walsh.

Seems like a smart move to me.

The Saints better not allow an assistant under contract to EVER go to the 49ers after this. What a bush league move.

Looks like sour grapes after getting embarrassed in the Superbowl to me

The Ravens made more plays and won the game with a strong, last minute goal line stand. The Niners came within five yards of the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. They outgained the Ravens by over 100 yards, had one 100 yard rusher and two plus 100 yard receiver. They had a bad first half. Nobody was embarrassed except possibly bitter Saints fans sitting at home watching two away teams play the big game in their stadium.

Donatell has been promised the keys to the car if/when Fangio leaves. This is what successful teams do instead of changing coordinators like underwear.
