Giants have asked permission to speak to two 49ers brass:
—San Francisco 49ers Assistant GM Adam Peters
—San Francisco 49ers Director of Player Personnel Ran Carthon
Any thoughts on whether they'd want to bring McDaniel?
I honestly don't know much about him, but it seems like he may be a brilliant guy despite not having much experience.

He gets credited for the 49ers run game being as effective, and creative, as it is.
He also gets credited as being excellent in player development, especially along the offensive line.
And working with Shanahan for so long, he is likely very collaborative.
He'd be high on my list of candidates, but he is very risky.
So did Kerry Collins, and he successfully overcame them. It seems like McDaniel has turned things around.
My only issue would be that I want my HC to crave the popping of champagne corks. I'm sure sparkling cider would work just as well to accompany Lombardi #5 though!
Judge’s interviews screamed head coach though. How’d that work out?

but his interviews, granted just short Q&A's, don't really scream head coach to me. Just my first impression from admittedly limited info. He could absolutely be ready for it but a bright mind or great coordinator doesn't guarantee someone will be good at managing/leading a team.

Absolutely. I'm not claiming to know that he would or he wouldn't be. Just talking about my first impression. I would be upset if they hired him.
He's young, innovative and very bright (Yale grad).

*wouldn't
Rumor is Peters first preference would be to bring Josh McDaniels from Pats wherever he would get a job.
The problem, as others alluded to...it looks like hes been dropping acid lol. Doesn't look like the typical "leader of men" He's super smart and seems to know how to utilize players.
People have said he'll get eaten alive if they start losing. Which is true, the media would have a field day if they start losing games. But i guess my response is, our last 3 coaches and i'll even include coughlin...everyones brand/schtick/personality gets old quick when you start losing 10 games a year.

He honestly seems like a comedian or something. Doesn't seem like he'd be able to emerge from a NY press conference without being torn to shreds.
