it turns out Bill bellich had at least one offer to continue his NFL career on a sideline this season 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on the TK Show podcast hosted by the Athletics Tim kawakami that he offered belich a spot on his San Francisco 49ers staff as defensive coordinator but was politely turned down belich ag72 by the way interviewed with the Falcons for their head coaching vacancy but that job went to Raheem Morris now he's set to join the media covering the NFL Shanahan says he believes belich will be back coaching in the NFL next season end quote well if you think he's going to be back in the NFL coaching next season why the hell you offer him the defensive coordinator job he's Bill bich the man has won six Super Bowl championships as a head coach another two as a defensive coordinator if I remember correctly two or three I think it's two okay we still waiting for you to win one and you going to offer him to be your subordinate you thought that was complimentary you really thought that I'm just saying one could look at it and say kle Shanahan was thoughtful kle Shanahan was looking out for himself because if I got a brilliant defensive mind like Bill bich is my defensive coordinator who just wants to stay in it because he's 72 years of age and he doesn't want to fade away from the game okay boom you can look at it that way I'm just looking at it from the standpoint that the man has won eight Super Bowls as a coordinator and a head coach and recently got let go another season hasn't even started yet and you're offering him to come on as your subordinate and you thought that would be a good thing I'm kind of wondering about that that's just me that's just me either way you slice it let me tell y'all right now and I mean this Cecilia I'm not trolling it was absolutely stupid for the Dallas Cowboys not to let go of Mike McCarthy and offer Bill bich the job it's not one of those things where you're advocating or calling for Mike McCarthy to be fired that's not the subject matter the subject matter is that you have a six-time champion as a head coach in this man right here and think about what the problem is with the Dallas Cowboys it's about Focus it's about not paying attention to the spotlight it's about an owner that does the talking and the coach having to work around all of that who would work around that better than Bill bich he doesn't want to say anything anyway I mean that gives Jerry Jones the license to talk all he wants to you come to bill bich you know what bill bich would say ask Jerry he's right over there ask him he's right upstairs ask him that's what he'd be do that's what he'd be doing it would be perfect and he'd lock in and zero in on the players meticulously so where he's highlighting every little crevice of deficiency that they may have making them better and making them worthy of being America's team but Jerry Jones and step Jones didn't want to do that why because they want to be the face of the franchise and they want to run everything they don't understand you would have been running everything bill bich would have been happy to let you run everything go ahead and talk to the media be the pr person talk all day every day unless Jerry you really really want to tell a Coach what to do and you know there's no way in hell you going to be able to get away with telling him what to do as a coach on the sideline and that's what you didn't want so you kept McCarthy which means you must be doing it too mcarthy I don't know I'm just speculating I'm just saying how do you miss out on this there two things that the Dallas Cowboys did this year that messed up royy they should have hired that man as the head coach and they should have acquired Derek Henry as your running back instead of letting him get to the Baltimore Ravens because if you had him you would have had a security blanket for Dak Prescott that way when January rolls around and he's getting a bit fidgety with throwing the damn football all he got to do is hand it off to that Bell cow and you the big good I'm not even an NFL executive and I know this come on come on either way you slice it this ain't no defensive coordinator anymore it's a six-time champion if y'all ain't coming to him with a head coaching offer then Bill bellich go ahead and do television my man you ain't no coordinator no more that's a step down it's a step down okay
