Mike Nolan in Green Bay as Defensive Coordinator?
Acme Packing Company —
... 49er fans are happily looking back at the free agent signing of QB J.T. O'Sullivan because it led to the canning of Mike Nolan. So that is not a ringing endorsement.

Each of those guys fit a real need in SF's systems; except for a QB. ...
