Robert Salah's pursuit to become the next head coach of the San Francisco 49ers faces a delay as he is scheduled for a second interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars are evaluating multiple candidates, including Liam Cohen and Patrick Graham, before concluding their search for a head coach. With Salah's interview set for Friday, the 49ers may need to wait for his decision before proceeding with alternative candidates.

Recent developments in the coaching landscape have seen candidates like Dennis Allen and Lou Anarumo taken off the board, further tightening the options available for the 49ers. The 49ers' strategy of focusing on Salah and Brandon Staley shows a reluctance to explore other avenues in their head coaching search, raising concerns about the efficacy of their decision-making process.

Meanwhile, the 49ers celebrate former coaches Chip Kelly and Ryan Day, who have recently secured a national championship with Ohio State. This success highlights the potential coaching talent that could have contributed to the 49ers had decisions been made differently.

Wild Card Weekend concluded with a series of blowouts, leaving fans and analysts frustrated by the lack of competitive games. With an average point margin exceeding 17 points across the matchups, only the game between the Washington Commanders and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offered any real suspense. Andy Barons and Matt Haron reflect on standout performances, including touchdowns from unexpected players like Rashod Bateman and Curtis Samuel, while expressing disappointment over the predictability of the outcomes.

The Rams particularly impressed, with a dominant win against the Vikings, showcased by their ability to pressure Minnesota's quarterback, Sam Darnold, leading to a playoff record of nine sacks. The duo of Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson shone in the Ravens' victory over the Steelers, emphasizing the physicality disparity between the teams. Despite these highlights, the overall theme of the weekend was disappointment, as the competitive spirit typical of playoff football seemed absent.
