Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Nolan has been a defensive coordinator with the Giants, the Redskins, the Jets and the Ravens. He's coached such stars as Lawrence Taylor, Michael Strahan and Ray Lewis. "The 49ers got themselves a heck of a guy to be their coach," said Strahan when told of the news that Nolan is the team's choice. "He's a lot like [Panthers head coach John Fox] in regards to how the players respect him. The Niners just made themselves a much better team."
