When the San Francisco 49ers last had a head coaching vacancy, they were one of the more enticing jobs available on the market. Colin Kaepernick was coming off of a down season, but looked to have more potential than the likes of Jay Cutler, Geno Smith or unproven young players like E.J. Manuel or David Carr. They were loaded with defensive talent, with names like Patrick Willis, Chris Borland and Aldon Smith forming the best linebacking corps in football –and many of those talented players were young. They also had the most stable front-office situation. They looked to be the cream of the crop, as far as vacancies went.
