This seems like a no brainer. Fangio has been with the Niners for 3 years now and delivered a #3, #4 and #5 overall defense in that time. There is no question the strength of that team has been it's defense and Harbaugh is an offensive minded coach so you can't even question is it is because of Jimmy.
Quinn has one year with the Seahawks and has delivered the #1 overall defense but he took over a very dominant defense from last year that ranked #4 overall and had every reason to believe it could improve with key returning players, some key FA signings and added experience of existing players. It is pretty obvious this is Pete's defense as he has a very long history of defensive success and is a defensive minded coach.
I still can't get over how Jacksonville went after Bradley when Fangio was available. Bradley was heading up a garbage defense before Pete arrived and Fangio was already producing a top level defense from the day he took over in San Fran. There should have been no question that Bradley's success was in part due to Pete and Fangio's was solely based on his own ability.
If your an NFL GM who would you consider? From what I am reading it looks like Quinn is already drawing interest but I haven't read or heard anything suggesting Fangio is in any head offices discussions.
I really don't get why you would poach a DC away from a defensive mastermind like Pete and ignore a proven defensive success story that is obviously the reason for that defensive success away from an offensive minded coach? Are GM's just dumb?
