What changes would you make?

It's no secret his play calling and offensive philosophy have gone stale. Let's be honest, if not for the way the defense played last year we'd probably have been a 7-9 or 6-10 type team. IMO he is too stubborn to change his ideals and he will never truly turn over the reins to an offensive coordinator.

I love Sean Payton for what he has done, I really do - but what we're seeing is the continuation of a downward trend. I do not believe he is the same coach he was before the Bountygate suspension. He has lost a lot of what made him so good.

Jim Harbaugh, in my opinion, would be an extremely good hire to replace Sean. Yeah, he's a jerk, but he's the kind of jerk who can get things done. He turns around programs instantly, as we saw with Stanford and the 49ers. He knows how to motivate younger players and would turn us into a hard-nosed team again.

Most people won't agree with you on Harbaugh. Our fan base is too "classy" for the likes of him. If we were to move on from Payton, I'd hope it would be him. Or John Gruden.

For some reason, I think Gruden finds it warm and cozy in that booth breaking down film with Mike Tireco (sp) and is relatively stress free. Don't think Jon is anxious to coach any team right now.

If Payton went i wouldn't be against Gruden.
Dont like Harbaugh at all,he seems to have lost his dressing room in San Fran too,his brother is a different matter.

Harbaugh is second on my major dislike list behind Jim Schwarz
