He was on his staff at Oaktown wasn't he? I know the NFL experience should help, but not sure he would leave the NFL unless they pay him good. Has he ever coached college?

 

[jeblevins]

Sweet. One of my favorite bruisers of all-time!

 

[Jaytrain5]

Definitely trumps Gran as an RB coach. Don't know what kind of recruiter he'd be though.

 

[jspvol76]

How much is he making with the 49ers?

 

[3 Rocky Top Cove]

He would probably know a thing or two about running backs.

 

[samdavol]

This would be awesome! I dont know about recruiting but you gotta think, once again, having a NFL coach show up at your school or house for a RB would be a big plus. He shoud be great at coaching up our RBs too.

He was the Mike Alstott before there was a Mike Alstott.

Yes. Yes, he has coached with 49ers, Lions, Raiders and then back to 49ers.

USC has Snoop Dog on the sideline, Rathman could bring Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.

 

[WB4LBJ_4_UT]

He was one tough fullback. If he can coach like he played, and impart some of the tenacity he had, look out!

I wouldn't worry about it. Him and Coach O would intimidate recruits to come to UT.

For those who don't know.

He would be a nice addition. Not sure how he helps us in South Fl though.

 

[getyopopcornready]

Our RB's would definitely learn a thing or two about being physical.

 

[Jewbaccah]

What about ST? If he was the guy does he bring anything to the table there? This would mean the next hire would be the ST guy?

I'll respectfully disagree.

 

[Jaytrain5]

I'll respectfully disagree.

With which part?

 

[Volfan8282]

With which part?

That he's better at coaching RBs than Gran.

 

[Okibi]

Here's a good article about him from earlier this year: 49ERS PROFILE: Tom Rathman / Back home building backs

I don't see these to knuckleheads helping. LOL

 

[Jaytrain5]

I tend to give the edge to the guy who spent the last decade coaching backs in the League. Not necessarily right, just my opinion.

 

[LawVol13]

That he's better at coaching RBs than Gran.

His 2 Superbowl Rings and coaching jobs in the NFL suggest otherwise.

The X is wrong, Trooper Taylor is not worth watching, do you want HATvol to commit homicide..lol

 

[NYYVol]

I'd give the nod to Rathman, too.
