Hello faithful Observer readers. Happy Easter to all of you (unless you don't do that kind of thing, to which I say "Happy Sunday"). I'm here to provide you with a random link for your reading pleasure.
Over at NFL.com, writer Jason Feller has penned a solid article concerning Nolan's job status going into the 2008 NFL season. Besides not mentioning Jim Hostler by name,* it's a great read.

The best part of the article has to be this admission by Nolan:
"We gotta win this year," said Nolan. "I'm not going to hide behind anything else, we do. We have to win."
Interesting quote for sure. Maybe Nolan means he won't "hide behind" mediocre quarterback play? Hmm...
*Why is this suddenly a trend with the non-local media when discussing the awfulness of the Niners' 2007 season? No one mentions Hostler by name; they just talk about how Norv Turner left San Francisco to coach in San Diego. Is everyone in the national media just playing nice? Is it the fact that Hostler is now the wide receivers coach in Baltimore and people feel bad calling the guy out? I'm just saying...

Most interesting is that Nolan and the Niners are getting so much coverage now. Why at this point? Why so many stories on NFL.com, all at once? Yes, it's the off-season and it's dead time, but this just seems like a very bizarre period to write multiple stories about a team no one thinks will do well next year and even fewer paid attention to last year after--oh, say, maybe when we reached 2-5
Hey Bruce. Thanks for the comments.
Since Nolan was in Los Angeles for his interview on the NFL Network, he was probably interviewed by their internet staff as well at NFL.com while he was there.
How do I know this? A little bit of exclusive geographic trivia for you- the offices for the NFL Network and NFL.com are located in the same building.
Now you know!
