Solari goes to 49ers.
Perhaps they'd swap Solari for Muir and a few billion dollars.
![]() 49ers shuffle offensive line coaches John Crumpacker, Chronicle Staff Writer Friday, January 22, 2010 (01-21) 21:26 PST -- Almost as quickly as they lost their offensive line coach to the Washington Redskins on Thursday, the 49ers found a replacement in Mike Solari, who held the same position with the Seattle Seahawks in 2008-09. Chris Foerster, San Francisco's line coach the last two seasons, was hired away by new Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. Not to be without a line coach himself, coach Mike Singletary reached out to Solari, a former 49ers assistant, to handle his offensive line. From 1992-96 Solari coached tight ends and was an assistant offensive line coach for the 49ers. "When I was interviewing for a head coaching job around the league, (Solari) was my No. 1 guy (for offensive line coach)," Singletary said. "The fact I can get him at this juncture is a win-win situation. I think things work out for a reason. I like him as a person, first of all. I like the fact where he's been, the experience he's had. He has really done a great job when I look at his record." Solari, 55, solidified his reputation working for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1997-2007, first as line coach and the last two years as offensive coordinator. His time in Kansas City overlapped with that of current 49ers offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye. Solari had a dominating offensive line in Kansas City, featuring guards Will Shields and Brian Waters and tackle Willie Roaf. In 2004 and '05, the Chiefs led the NFL in total offense. As for Foerster, the Redskins asked permission of the 49ers to interview him for a lateral position and Singletary said no. However, when Foerster explained to Singletary that he wanted to be closer to his family on the East Coast, Singletary relented and gave Washington permission. Singletary said other NFL teams have asked permission to speak to members of his staff about lateral moves and he has declined. "I don't want to get into names," he said. "We're moving forward."

![]() Relative to the beginning of the season? ANYTHING would look good compared to that. What a low standard to hold yourself to. Solari > Muir.

Haley changed the blocking scheme. He went for zone blocking this year, as opposed to Chan Gailey's scheme. Haley unfortunately wanted 30 protection schemes instead of six, which caused immediate issues. Over the course of the final four games, the Chiefs gave up SIX SACKS. With Charlie Weis on board, the offense will improve exponentially. |

Dont act like this is just about Solari. A few weeks ago someone started a thread wondering if Krumrie would stay on staff, and you said better him than Muir.

Arrowhead West keeps growing
That Kansas City alumni club in San Francisco continues to grow. Now, former Chiefs offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Mike Solari is joining the San Francisco 49ers staff as its new offensive line coach. That gives Mike Singletary's staff four top assistants who formerly worked in Kansas City. Last week, former Chiefs assistant coach Kurt Schottenheimer was hired as the 49ers special teams coach. Jimmy Raye, a Chiefs assistant during 1992-97 and offensive coordinator in 1998-00 is the 49ers offensive coordinator; and Greg Manusky, an outstanding special teams player and backup linebacker with the Chiefs during 1994-99, is San Francisco's defensive coordinator. Schottenheimer was the Chiefs special teams coach during 1989-94; secondary coach during 1995-98 and defensive coordinator in 1999-2000. Solari spent the last two seasons as the offensive line coach for the Seattle Seahawks. He spent 1997-2005 as offensive line coach with the Chiefs and offensive coordinator in 2006-07. Solari is one heck of an offensive line coach. He left something to be desired as a coordinator, but it's good to see him still in the league and with the 49ers, where he worked before coming to Kansas City. It will be fun seeing all these guys when the 49ers visit Arrowhead Stadium next season. http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/1194

It was hard enough for me to post it once. I wasn't planning on posting over and over.
When I posted it the first time, it had some interesting info in it on how Mike Solari and Mike Singletary operate and coach. |
