First off, let us start out by saying that we are not just a compilation of tide-riding football fans spraying anger in one direction with no long-term vision in mind. Unlike Mike Nolan, we actually DO have a plan.

We aren’t merely trying to pin all of the team’s problems on Nolan and run him out of town on a rail for no reason other than to feel better about the sad state of the franchise. Rather than focusing solely on the removal of Nolan, we have carefully considered the long-term prospects of this football team. We have a replacement in mind; one with a proven track record.

The San Diego Chargers are finding out right now just how valuable Marty Schottenheimer is to an organization. An “old school coach,” Schottenheimer has won everywhere he’s been. He doesn’t put up with anything less. He doesn’t go to organizations and “clean house” to prove his point–he just gets the most out of each of his players and gets them to play winning football.

When you really take the time to analyze all of the nuances, Schottenheimer is the perfect fit for this team. Nolan began the process of converting this defensive unit into a 3-4 defense, and Schottenehimer has a background in that style. Over the years, he has preferred to emphasize ball control on offense–he will already be given an elite runner to do that with in Frank Gore. AND, last but not least, once the Dolphins finish the season 0-16, there is an excellent chance Cam Cameron will become available to rejoin Schottenheimer in San Francisco as offensive coordinator. Combine that with the fact that Manusky has worked under Schottenheimer before and it seems as though it’s FATE that Marty comes to San Francisco to restore the once proud franchise.

We would just like the Yorks and the others involved in the 49er management to know that we are promoting Nolan’s firing with the intent of a positive outcome.  We aren’t misguided fools in the mold of the “dumpyork.com” website.
