If Jed brings in Louis Riddick I may just forget bout these last two years.

Riddick when listening to him on ESPN during the drafts seems like a very intuitive evaluator.

Edit he getting the interview next week. Woooooo

he’s a sharp, articulate guy who can communicate a vision well — unlike Trent Baalke.

NEXT WEEK BABY

Okay, Kawasaki had been pointing to this combo for months now. Someone obviously told that fool something:

[h1]Louis Riddick calls Buckner, Armstead most intriguing players on 49ers roster[/h1]
In August, ESPN analyst — and now 49ers GM candidate — Louis Riddick joined KNBR 1050’s The Audible for an interview.

Riddick accurately predicted Blaine Gabbert would win the starting job but that he wouldn’t keep it all season.

But the more interesting question Riddick was asked: What do you see when you look at the young talent on the 49ers roster?

“I think those two twin towers are the most intriguing guys on that roster, when you’re talking about DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead,” said Riddick. “Because those guys, really, if you switched their numbers, and just kind of looked at them from behind, they’re almost carbon copies of one another. I think those are the kind of players that San Francisco just a few years ago — when coach (Jim) Harbaugh was there and he and Trent (Baalke) were building that thing into a powerhouse — those are the kind of players that they had, that they were known for. Those type of body types, those kind of athletic characteristics that those guys have.”

Buckner finished his rookie season with 73 tackles and 6 sacks. Arik Armstead was placed on IR in November, registering 15.5 sacks and 2.5 sacks while fighting through a nagging shoulder injury.

Should Riddick accept the job, he’ll be strapped with cash and the No. 2 overall pick. The most widely regarded prospects are front seven players Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) and Jonathan Allen (Alabama). It’s a position the 49ers have drafted in the first round the last two seasons.

Let’s not pigeonhole Riddick into one radio interview, but it sounds like he would lean defense at the top of the draft, should he be offered the job from Jed York. 

“Those are the kind of people they need to get more of,” Riddick said. “That they need to rebuild this organization on the shoulders of those types of players. And then, kind of spread out to the skill position players, get the quarterback situation squared away, get some more playmakers at the wide receiver position, revamp the secondary. But it’s all going to start in the trenches. That’s where they have kind of gone back to, to try and build it from the inside out. Look for those young players, Josh Garnett included on the offensive side, to really lead the way. If they hit on those guys and those guys become productive, San Francisco will rebuild it to where it used to be. 

If they don’t, there will be another front office and another coach for them.”

Ominous final words in that interview from Riddick. Earlier on Tuesday, he said on ESPN San Francisco has the most attractive job opening and he would take the job if offered. 

“Right now I think the most appealing job is the one where you’re going to be able to go in and start fresh with a GM and a head coach, and where they’re really gonna let you build it, and put in the foundation, and then let everything build and rise from there,” Riddick said. “Which to me, even though it’s a daunting task given the fact that personnel-wise this roster has been depleted, I like the situation that is coming to bear in San Francisco. I like what Jed York is trying to do as far as saying, hey look, I tried to piece-meal this thing together over the past three years.

“I think he will need to be patient, he already said he will be patient. He will give, whoever is given that position, the support and the time to get that done. So, I think in that way, when we come full circle with it, it winds up becoming a very attractive situation, as long as he makes good on everything he said he would.”

Riddick was put on the spot: Would he take the job?

“[Laugh]. Sure I would … There’s not a whole lot of impediments to the success there, provided that he makes good on everything that he says, and why wouldn’t you take him at this word?” Riddick said. “I think you see a guy who understands that, look, I’ve gotten some things wrong. I mean, really, what else do you want him to say. You want him to tear his shirt off and say, hey, what do you wanna do? You wanna mark me? What do you wanna do? I think he is kinda laying it out there, again, to be judged in the future if he doesn’t do what he says he’s gonna do. So, what more do you want.”

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

I'm so glad we're the only team without a GM. Sucks kubuiak retired. Denver is the easy choice as a HC

 

[heatseeker23]

Some interesting stuff here, what do u guys think? Jednoccio Dork is gonna have more say in the HC and GM and Paraag sitting in on every interview

Niners will be back in two years time

 

[red81]

if our GM options are wolf and reddick, we can't lose. 

 

[orsrt8]

You may get your guy Red...saw that he's getting in interview....i like his approach and the kind of thinking he has when it comes to putting together a team. He got giddy when they asked him on ESPN if he'd take the job lol. Knowing that he's got the number 2 pick, loads of capspace and some young talent on defense...i like where this is heading! Just gotta get the right coach if thats the guy

He's not Reds guy. He's OUR guy.

 

[red81]

we need to stay away from the seattle guys 

 they killed it in 2010-2012, but a couple front office people left and they've been abysmal since. their drafts are right there with the worst in the NFL.

 
The Seahawks' accumulation is so far ahead of the pack because they absolutely demolished the 2011 and 2012 drafts, so those stellar picks have had a longer window to boost that total. In those two drafts, they landed Richard Sherman  and Russell Wilson  (who ranks first in AV provided per game for players in this study), but they also landed a flock of contributors in K.J. Wright, Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner, J.R. Sweezy  and James Carpenter. They’ve started to lose some players via free agency, so it will be interesting to see if they maintain, because over the past three years, the Seahawks rank a concerning 31st  in return from their draft classes.

 

[orsrt8]

LOL

The more I see it the more I like the move. I'm a fan of giving new faces/competent, smart people a chance rather than recycling the same ol dudes for the same positions with different franchises.



Seahawks have been fading the last two years...as sorry as the niners were this year, we still gave them two competitive games...hopefully the tide turns back next season.

They are. Seattle is on the way out. The division is up for grabs.

good read

[orsrt8]

Who would likely be the Defensive Coordinator if that were to happen? WE need a guy who's scheme fits with the pieces we got

 

[red81]

Probably someone like mike vrabel. 

mike nolan was his DC in denver. 

 

his OC was mike mccoy

ironically, both of those guys are available. his coaching staff was really good now that i look at it. his WR coach was adam gase and his secondary coach was ed donatell.

 

[thasoleful1]

The fact that Riddick said it's an appealing job makes me believe he's the top candidate unless someone comes in and wows them saying they have a coach guaranteed to sign

 

[red81]

Rand Getlin  @Rand_Getlin

I'm told #Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is set to meet with the #Broncos and #49ers about their head-coaching vacancies.

 

[lightweight champion]

The Broncos are definitely more appealing for Joseph. Better defense, and really just a competent quarterback away from being elite again.

 

[red81]

I feel like Kyle Shanahan to Denver is all but a lock. The transition from Kubiak's offense to Shanahan's offense would be seamless.

[red81]

jed exhausting all avenues

 Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 
Another interview for #******** OC Sean McVay. He's interviewing with the #49ers on Monday, source said.

 

[hyper cutter]

Starting to think you ARE Riddick...idk idk
