If one factor could be singled out for Mike Nolan's downfall it's this - he didn't listen. The best example is the Alex Smith Debacle. After a decent 2006, Smith, with a passer rating of 74.8, looked like he was a quarterback on the rise. He started 2007 2-1, which included come-from-behind wins ...

Around the NFC West: Digesting the Nolan news
ESPN.com - NFL Nation Blog —
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando Lowell Cohn of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat says recently fired 49ers coach Mike Nolan will be remembered in San Francisco for what he could not do. "Nolan will be remembered as a man who couldn't adequately evaluate talent, who could not get the most out of whatever talent he had, who could not effectively manage games, who didn't always know the rules and, worst of all, who could not win." Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat was traveling from the East Coast when the 49ers fired Nolan.

* First, an add-on to my list of potential 49ers 2009 candidates… Here’s who I DID NOT put on the list, and why: - NON-CANDIDATE LIST: Brian Billick ( n ever hire your fired-coach’s former boss), Dennis Green (had his shots at it), Jim Fasse l (nobody has hired him yet, whichtells you something), Marty Schottenheimer (wrong time, wrong team, terrible personnel evaluator), Rex Ryan (maybe next time), Rob Ryan (ditto), Bob Stoops (Youngstown-York ties, but no way), Tyrone Willingham (a John York favorite but OOPS), Jimmy Johnson (not enough $$ in the world for him to get off that boat ). Now if Norv Turner gets fired in SD after this season… I’d ...
