🏈 49'ers hire Offensive coordinator ...Dennis Dodd's credibility remains the same

[AFF]

This came out last night, but I haven't heard anyone talking about it.

?

The only reason he would do it is to be close to his family. Playing second fiddle to Chip's play calling wouldn't go well, IMHO

Report: Lane Kiffin contacted about 49ers offensive coordinator position

Latest News, Rumors Surrounding 49ers OC Search

I thought he already said no to this. Plus I was thinking that Chip called his own plays? But I could be wrong on that.

 

[TidertillIdie]

I agree with rick4bama that the news was he turned it down and was staying.

 

[AFF]

One quoted "source" was a Niner fan / blog writer named Jennifer Lee Chan.

Many "news" outlets (SB Nation, Bleacher Report, several others) reporting he was contacted. He may have been contacted. But today Chan doesn't seem very confident he'd take it...

 

[OldPlayer]

He's not going. He stands a good chance to get a HC role after this year with Saban. Like the juniors on the team that are staying, he's improving his stocks' worth by coming back.

Echoing what @OldPlayer said, Chip Kelly said today during his introductory presser that he was going to call all the plays. He even joked around saying that he was going to call the good plays and the OC would call the bad plays.

That what I heard to, about him calling the playes.

I couldn't see Kiffin taking a backseat to Kelly when calling plays. I recall Dubose did something similar here with an OC to plan things out, but then have his old roommate Neil Calloway, the O line coach, calling the plays. That shit didn't work!!

When you said Dubose, I surmised that whatever mentioned after that, didn't work... LOL

Say more to that. Are you suggesting that Kelly is gone in a year or that Kiffin sticks around Alabama for a while.

I'm of the opinion, Kiffin won't be at Alabama much longer, I'm thinking 1-2 more year.
