List of San Francisco 49ers head coaches[edit]

This is a co-nomination with Milk's Favorite Cookie (talk · contribs). This list is based on List of New York Jets head coaches and List of New England Patriots head coaches. I hope it meets your expectations! Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 03:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support All my objections have been addresses. Good work, one of the better head coaches lists. As a side note, I would oppose the addition of color to the list, personally I think we need to get away from color, but that's just mho. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 20:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)
  • "...49ers began play in ..." a bit jargony.
  • "head coach in franchise history. " in all franchises' history or just the 49ers franchise?
  • Link Super Bowl first time, not second time in the lead.
  • " Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Charles Haley, Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig, Fred Dean and Steve Young are among the players Walsh has coached in his career.[a][4][5][6]" - so what? Any reason to cherry pick these players, ie. what makes them more notable than any of the others? It's POV. Okay, so note [a] tries to explain but I'm uncomfortable with this sentence. Presumably you could list some "notable" players for all the coaches?
  • Lead reads odd towards the end - you have a blow-by-blow account of Christiansen (1974 to 1978) and then McCulley (1978) and then O'Connor (1979) and then you skip to present day.
    • Well, that whole paragraph was supposed to be about interim head coaches. I didn't want to include the current head coach in a one-liner. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 21:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Key - surely L should be losses not loses?
  • Pity about the large number of red links for 49ers seasons.
  • Why is present in italics?
  • "Win-Loss" or "Win–Loss"?
  • "a 4x Pro Bowl selection." - yuck the 4x - four-time?
  • "Christiansen coached the 49ers to a 2–9 record ..." is repeated verbatim in the notes.
  • And note [d] is a complete copy-and-paste from the lead as well.

Me done. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:40, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
