When I asked my friend Behnke, a 49ers fan, about what he thought of Nolan, he told me "Well, he has experience I guess. (And) his favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla. I want rep for that." In related Packers coaching news, McCarthy has an interview lined up with Broncos defensive line coach Bill Johnson. McCarthy also says he's not looking to bring Jeff Jagodzinski back to his staff, as Jags is getting fired by Boston College for simply trying to be successful.

Remember the story about the BC head coach whom would be fired for interviewing?  Well, it happened, and Jagodzinski is out.  > Stank-0 heard another blogger hit this one on the head.  BC is only in football conversations because of Jagodzinski.  He brought Matt Ryan to the world, and now he gets canned?  > BC will be s**tted on through karma.  Stank-0 won't feel one iota of sympathy when it happens.  To the AD, who out there is better than the man you just fired?  Very very very very...very few NFL OC's or DC's ...

Niners Nation — ... mentioning Jags as an OC option.  For those not aware, Jagodzinski was the head coach of the Boston College Eagles.  He was offered an interview for the New York Jets head coaching position, but when the AD at BC found at, Jags was informed that he would be fired if he even took the interview.  Jags interviewed and was subsequently fired.  The primary reason for the firing was that the AD had wanted a coach who would be in it for the long haul at BC.  While that's certainly a noble vision, it's also a bit naive given the way football ...
