This is what Barlow had to say August of 2006.

“Nolan just doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s a first-time head coach with too much power,” Barlow told the newspaper. “He has too much power as a first-time head coach. He walks around with a chip on his shoulder, like he’s a dictator, like he’s Hitler. People are scared of him. If it ain’t Nolan’s way, it’s the highway.”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Nolan had praise for Smith, now he's throwing him under the bus.
Nolan lets crap D Jackson play instead of Lelie/treats Lelie like Jerry Porter.
Nolan has yes men like Trent Dilfer!
Nolan won't make changes to help the team win.

It all makes sense now to fire Nolan.

Professor

He has failed to develope the talent that he has, especially Smith.

Hell, D was supposed to be his calling and they have been just AWFUL!

When your defense is on the field constantly for 40 minutes and only P Wills, Clements, and a few others are the only success stories, that's why the D starts to suck. Plus Dline has yet to generate a pass rush, we keep screwing that one up. If you can't blitz on 3-4 or 4-3, you won't beat anybody. Our D is clearly gassed out.

Professor

the dline is bad, the oline is bad, fix the trenches and fix the team.

That's true but there are other D's that look a LOT better then the 9ers. Nolan has had 3 years and can anyone say the D now looks better then it did when he took over?
