Ok having seen he was only hired in 2023 I retract this statement, give him shot with a DC that knows what he’s doing

Instead of just being a guy to avoid as a qb, he gets shots at the ball often. He can’t be avoided in his current position, which is what you want
He wasn't hired by the team until 2023 if not mistaken.
He was here before orr

yep and clowney and kvn had career years in 2023. Madubuike didn't do half bad either. Owen also had a decent amount of pressures and a pretty decent win rate.
10000% all macdonald doing.

Who else has been impressive so far?
really happy to hear this. Webb is really intriguing to me.

He's not a flashy name like a Klint Kubiak or Robert Saleh, but John wasn't that big of a name when we hired him in 2008. You had Josh McDaniels coming off the perfect season with the Patriots, of course Jason Garrett. Obviously, the big thing here is who would be on his defensive staff. Our issues have been the lack of pass rush and creating turnovers on defense.
Webb is very intriguing but I doubt he becomes head coach. I think he needs to be an offensive coordinator first. I'm glad they interviewed him though.
Who knows, maybe he wins them over.

Looking a little into Webb's history, at least as a player, he's shared time with Martindale, Wilson, Frazier, Spagnuolo, Leonard, Denisson, Mike Lombardi, Kafka, Daboll, and a few others—interesting names that could appear for a future coaching staff.
If he interviewed well, he could be an interesting option.

Ideally he could have Jim Leonard as his defensive coordinator. I think it's very likely his offensive coordinator would be Brian Daboll. He's an intriguing opinion especially if the plan is to empower Lamar and what better way to do that then to give him a head coach that was once a NFl quarterback ..He likely would be a head coach that would listen to Lamar and his suggestions. Seems like Lamar wants to be heard more going forward in his career
We had our 5th and 2nd highest graded team defensive grades in the first 2 weeks. Then we went down the tubes when we lost one of our best defenders in Nnamdi Madubuike. Which was disastrous since we didn't have anyone who could push the pocket from the interior. That's 60 combined, sacks, QB hits and pressures without any make up, and Orr wasn't nearly creative enough to make up for the lack of talent, nor did have the unit humming with the basics. It's what possibly stunted Malaki Starks from making up for the loss of Ar'Darius Washington earlier, the man half-way responsible for the 2024 turnaround. The issues with basic execution and talent development are likely why it took Starks nearly half of the season to get to form. Same with Teddye Buchanan.
But that turnaround came directly after we benched Marcus Williams, moved Kyle Hamilton to FS and started Washington, playing him in mostly deeper coverages. Those are literally coaching decisions. This is coming from someone who wasn't high on the Orr signing at the time and did not expect him to patch our losses. There is no leg to stand on in pretending it had nothing to do with Orr. It's a stance that couldn't be more wrong.

Question is - was it Orr or Dean Pees? The timing of the change was peculiar.
We can't know for sure, but he arrived on October 9th, before Week 6. So there was still over a month before those personnel changes.

Kind of, absolute minimum amount of time it would take for Pees to convince Harbaugh to sit Marcus Williams?

Watching Patriots-Chargers with an eye to Minter as a potential HC candidate, I couldn't help but notice the Chargers offensive playcaller. Do we think Greg Roman could work well with Lamar?
