Some background on the decision to fire Slowik (the Chronicle)
In a nutshell:
- DeMeco was the one who made the final call
- the Christmas game result weighted heavily on DeMeco
- offensive players expressed some frustrations behind the scenes
- some people inside the building wanted Slowik gone during the bye, but DeMeco gave him a chance
- nobody knew anything for sure, but there was a sense he was on a thin ice
- the rest of the offensive staff will be evaluated when the new OC is hired
- there’s no front runner, but possible names floating around the building are: Chip Kelly, Mike LaFleur, Nick Caley, Josh McCown and Mike McCarthy
