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.

BC

As I recall, maybe wrongly, Wilner was mentioning Harbaugh pretty early, albeit as an unlikely option. Once the hire was announced, Wilner (or maybe it was Kawakami) wrote a long, scathing post about how unqualified Harbaugh was, how he'd been shopping himself around for every vacancy in existence, etc.
