How will Marvin be able to spin out of this?

O'Neal was great in 2014. This guy is an exceptional coach, stuck in Clevland. Pettine is an exceptional coach who was stuck in Clevland. Time will tell though. Ask yourself how you feel about Kris Richard? Not so hot these days huh? How many 4th quarter meltdowns this season? Him laying an egg in the playoffs? He certainly is riding the coat tails of Bradley an isn't doing a very good job. Oneal will be fine.

Rather than his abilities as a DC I'd be more concerned that the word on him is the same word on Kelly: He's a POS that alienates everyone around him and nobody wants to play for.
Bob Loblaw":w6rsvzmi said:I'm the first to say under the Yorks we haven't been the most stable organization. I would caution reading to much from Browns media, coaches & players about others. They are the Browns who are the most unstable organization in the NFL. No good coach has ever been successful there. Il give O'Neal the benefit of the doubt, Pettine thinks he is a very good coach & I think Pettine is a phenomenal defensive mind. He didn't just hire him because they are buddies. Players complained, but who doesn't complain in Clevland. Look at what they have done to Joe Thomas. They have made him completely content to be a loser his whole career. What a wasted talent. Of all the problems the Niners have had I think they have taken a big leap to get it right.
-There is no way O’Neil had any other teams considering him for a DC role this cycle, and he was only hired after Houston LBs coach Mike Vrabel declined the 49ers offer to remain with the Texans.
Again: Vrabel stayed as a position coach and turned down a chance to become a DC with the 49ers. You can make any excuse you want for it, but that is not how assistants treated 49ers job offers when they came from Jim Harbaugh, Steve Mariucci or Bill Walsh.
