Back in 2005, the San Francisco 49ers hired Mike Nolan to be their head coach and head of football operations. He turned around and hired Scot McCloughan to be his chief personnel executive. Things went south after a few years, and there was the much discussed “trigger” changing hands from Nolan to McCloughan.
Nolan is now making regular appearances on NFL Network and on the radio, and on Tuesday, he had a fascinating interview on KNBR. I’m breaking this into three separate articles because he brought up interesting points and three distinct topics. This first one includes a transcript of his comments about his own interview with the 49ers back in 2005.
