I would bet on “the field”.

before Shaw, I don’t think any of our four previous coaching hires (Willingham, a virtual unknown NFL position coach, Teavens, Harris, or Harbaugh) had been mentioned amongst the talking heads, and Shaw was a special case because the Harbaugh’s success made it highly likely that one of his coordinators would be hired as a “continuity” candidate.

Peterson is the home run hire. He wants the job you give it to him. But agree the field seems most likely. I don’t see us clamoring to give the job to Bloomgren or Mason who have ties to us but limited success as a HC. Walters seems too green as a coach in terms of resume. 

Of the existing names, I’d put Chryst, and the Sac St and San Jose st coaches st the top, but still expect the field to win out. 

In terms of philosophy, I’d love to see a HC or OC out of the Shanahan-Mcvay tree. I still believe that recruiting OL, RB and QB is our strong suit in terms of available options. A scheme that uses a multiple/creative run game as the offensive foundation is ideal for is IMO. Roman has really impressed in building an offense to suit Lamar’s unique talents, but don’t know if he had the coaching/recruiting intangibles or is more an Xs/Os guy.
