And it’s been fun every year.†.... For all the tackles, fumbles, interceptions and sacks that Willis, Bowman and their fellow ‘backers rack up – and those numbers are impressive – there is this simple notion: Coaches like Leavitt have the ability to motivate great players to be even better. http://www.49ers.com/news/article-2/Willis-Bowman-Motivated-by-49ers-Coaches/ddfb698c-cce8-4df0-b3d8-02c636e438e3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resume on defense looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Chris Knee was on XM this morning with Bill King talking about Pruitt's departure (which was inaccurate on reasoning) and possible replacements. Behind promotions from within regarding Sal Sunseri or Charles Kelly, outside prospect name was Leavitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more money in the NFL... just seems like going back to college ball would be a backwards move. I like Leavitt so I wish him the best of luck.
