Assistant coaches bailing at an alarming rate because they are now fully aware of the futility of their situation as ML stays at the helm.
Wow. Not just a break up of the Hayes brothers, but a break up in which Jay took a lateral move...
Our coaches are bailing! Except Paul Alexander, of course.
Didn't see that coming, given his tenure here, success, and the talent he has to work with for the next few years. And for a lateral move!

Trying not to read too much into this, but it raises a question of 'why'.
Coaches bailing is one thing, coaches bailing without getting a promotion is another thing.

Should us fans be worried? Are things really that bad with leadership/the organization that coaches are making lateral moves to other teams?
Shocking to see Hayes leave considering his long time friendship with Marvin.
I haven't heard anymore about Coyle coming here.
Good for him. Smart move. Good luck, Jay.

And his brother is a coach on the team as well. Tight ends coach I believe. 

Maybe the guy just wanted a new challenge.

I've wanted Johnathan Hayes gone for a while. I wonder if he'll follow.
They're interviewing 49ers DB coach to be our DB coach. Tim Lewis.
Yikes.

Just guessing, but I would say he probably looked at it as a way to get noticed more. 

The last couple decades we've made do with the DL. We don't take many 1-2 round draft picks for it and when we do take somebody, it's usually of the safe variety. We've found some FA and later round help, but if I was hayes, I don't think I would be looking to get a high first round pick on this team.

He might have the feeling in Tampa he can make a decent mark by developing whoever it is they've got/will get.

This was his first/only season with the 49ers. He was with Atlanta before that.

29th.  Apparently Lewis spent a lot of time as a Steelers coach in his career.

What's smart about leaving an all but permanent job to take the exact same job elsewhere with less stability?

That'll happen when half your defense retires.

More sun, less taxes.
