Oh my god... they killed Kenny!

brutal, I see Manuel went with Quinn to Atl, hope the dudes under them are ready.

This would be a bigger loss then Quinn, IMO.

It's still Pete's defense. But you can't keep a staff together for a long time. You'll have to find new assistants at some point. But it'll be interesting if he goes who might replace him.

Somehow I don't see this happening, unless he is to be promoted to DC there.

This actually upsets me more than losing Quinn.

Everyone seems to be leaving except the one we all want gone.

I thought you guys said he was as happy here coaching the backers?

Welcome to the world of being a perennial elite team. You can be 9-7 every year and keep all your coaches or go to championship games and get raided in the offseason.

crap....

This sucks..............................

He's been with Pete a long time. He must be getting a pretty good opportunity if he's leaving.

If this is true it might twofold, one upset he's being passed over for D.C. two a chance to return to the bay area where he had a lot of success with San Fran.

Make them take Bevell as part of the deal

Totally Agree! Ken has a passion and knowledge that Quinn didn't bring to the table. Gus also had the passion and knowledge the Quinn didn't have. I get a gut feeling that it maybe a good time to make some serious scheme adjustments to our defense as OC's around the league are getting wise to our simple scheme and figuring out the holes to attack such as, short passes especially underneath and middle of the field are vulnerable spots on our defense. You can pick on anyone opposite Sherman etc.

Those spaces were only open due to injury attrition.

Now, maybe they change because they are unable to acquire the talented depth to continue running this simple scheme, but teams haven't "figured us out" because there is nothing TO figure out.

Given his connection to Pete, he'll only leave if it's about getting back to California. Which would be totally understandable.
