Sean: I never said that all the Niners woes could be put at the feet of Mooch,just enough to make a BIG difference in the way the offense is run and in the pleasure I have watching it.I agree that Garcia has not been a very accurate deep passer this season but he IS very good overall and a very good coach would be able to cover over for that failing without taking the gutts out of the west coast system.(Gannon,for example,is not very good at the accurate long throws but that hasn't stopped the Raiders from running one of the most exciting offenses in the league with Gannon at QB).You said,who knows the real answer to the problems? I think Walsh and Donahue have known for quite some time where to put a large part of the blame and if the owner will allow them I think they will address that part of the problem that will be solved by replacing Mooch this off season.If York wants to remain with his head coach then at least I wish he would allow Walsh to bring in someone to put the Walsh back in the Bill Walsh offense.Since I really like Mooch as a person it would satisfy me if he stayed but some of his control over the offense was given over to the man Walsh brought in.
Tim: Sorry if you just can't take what I believe is the well deserved criticism of Mooch any more! If that is the case then why don't YOU find another team to root for? I've been a Niner fan for over 30 years so it's a little too late for me to switch even if I wanted to,WHICH I DON"T (but thanks for the suggestion).All I want is some adjustments to be made to the way MY team is being run.I don't know how old you are but it looks like I may have been a fan long before you were born and long long before Mooch took over.I WOULD take Mooch over what we had before the Bill Walsh era but it's very hard to look at things in that perspective after the great years we have been treated to since Walsh came in especially since Walsh is still around and willing and still able to tune up the engine on that Ferarri he drove into town so many years ago(by hiring a new mechanic that knows all about sports cars instead of staying with the one who's engine work has not met the Walsh standards!).
TANK: I think that Streets is very very good and is a great compliment to Owens.I also like Wilson in the mix and I think that Johnson is a very very good TE.So I guess I can't agree with you that those posistions are weaknesses.I do agree that the Niners(like all teams in the league) lack enough talent at some critical posistions.(nickle back etc.) but most of those posistions will be taken care of by players getting healthy for next season(Winborn,Bronson,Fiore) and young players coming on(Shaw,Curtis,Heitmann,Kosier,Rasheed, Rumph???),free agents and next years draft.But if the "lack of talent"or what I would prefer to call the lack of an adequate coaching philosophy at some of the coaching posistions is not addressed then all these very talented players may continue to be wasted.I hope we win the SB and if we do I know that York will probably reward Mooch with a new contract.I just hope that York also tells him that along with that new contract that Mooch will have to accept a new offensive mind on the coaching staff to bring the offensive game planning and playcalling back up to standards that would make Walsh proud and make fans like me happier.He probably would balk at such a suggestion but if he didn't want to accept it then maybe that would lead him to want a trade to Detroit,who knows.I know Mooch has pretty darned good stats as far as his offenses go over the last 6 years(and his wins vs losses)but I just see so much more potential if someone else was calling the offensive shots.Just my opinion but one that I have held for the last 6 years and one that Mooch has not done much to change(even though he promised last off season that he was going to change it seems to have proven true that the tiger cannot change his stripes even if he tries).
GO NINERS ! ! ! TIM
