Mariucci is fired by 49ers. Not such a good move for the franchise as far as I’m concerned, the guy is one of the best coaches in the league. I get the impression that this thing is really about egos and coaching styles. Bill Walsh, who is one of the greatest offensive minds in the history of the game, wanted to run one style of offense with, of course, a pass focus. Mariucci wanted to run the ball more. I’m certain that he won’t be looking for a job for very long. Personally, I’d love to see him here in Atlanta, but I doubt that is going to happen any time in the near future.(That’s another post for another time.)
