    Donahoe on 49ers Radar



    People will bad mouth him here, but I think Bills ownership always cut him off at the knees. He was great in Pittsburgh. I would love to see him get one more chance in the league to see if it was Wilson or was it Donahoe.

    It sounds like the in house candidate will get the gig in SF. I have read that Donahoe wants to stay out of the mix until the CBA is solved.

            Yeah, but what about guys like Greer and Peters? Would we put Peters/Greer under the Free Agent category, or draft? Regardless, one of the two may end up in the HoF, and the other is pretty good corner. Too bad the old regime dumped both.

              TD just never found that QB. Just never happened.

              I think his tenure would have started out smoother if he kept Flutie.

              Oh well...

                rookie free agents that turn out good are not entirely the result of good scouting... its obvious that donadope passed on these players in the regular draft. plus rfa can sign where they want, plus with so many players a gm is bound to hit on a few rfa players...

                  I agree he deserves another chance. Im sure the higher powers here in Buffalo screwed him

                    I thought TD had free rein to do as he pleased and didn't have a lot of interference from RW?

                      Wilson has always and prob always will interfere.

                        I would've loved if Nix were to handle the draft and Donahoe were to handle free agents.......this team would be stacked right now.

                          TD was always too smart for his own good and never wanted another situation like Pittsburgh, where he lost a power struggle to Cowher.

                          He hired Greggo & Mularkey (bad) because they wouldn't challange his power. Signed some good FA's but never completed the job. Fell in love with Bledsoe (bad). Fell in love with Mike Williams & Roscoe during pre-draft workouts, ignoring the rankings of his scouts. Our drafts were pretty brutal during his tenure.

                          I was more than happy to see him leave. He set this franchise back for years and then Ralph compounded the problem by overreacting and hiring unqualified cronies (Marv & Brandon) to continue the downward spiral.

                            His inability to get coaches at a high level due to his spat with cowher weakened his chances of turning a great d into a fantastic team. That cowher complex also affected his drafting. He wanted to prove he was some genius evaluator.

                              I'd say he's better at free agency than the draft. I've also heard that he drafts poorly while picking up good free agents.
