Steve Wilks Out as 49ers DC

[Stlducks]

No.

It's all on Shanahan. Why wasn't he feeding one of the best RB's the ball? Because, his ego got in the way and he wanted Purdy to get the SB MVP....that is why.

Lol. So when he was the OC, it was his fault Quinns defense couldn't hold a 25 point lead. But it's also his fault when he's the HC and his defense blows a 10 point lead twice in the SB?

Sounds like you just want to blame him for everything. Is it his fault the Raiders are irrelevant too?

Shanahan is the de facto OC. Klint Kubiak was the OC in title only. But, you know this.

And now Kubiak has left for the Saints because he probably wants to be the real OC.

You keep going off topic. None of this has to do with Wilks. You just keep proving the point you hate Kyle and give choose to blame him for everything.

It's his fault the Falcons defense fell apart even though he was the OC. Make it make sense m

You can't keep up....clearly. I said Wilks was a scapegoat and I am explaining why since you said he isn't being scapegoat'ed.....

What will be the excuse next season why Shanny fails to deliver and is fired? Still going to defend your guy?

 

[DJ]

Because, Shanny will most definitely be on the hot seat next season. Lynch will fire him if he fails to deliver with this stacked roster.

The media needs something to talk about. Purdy is obviously good and growing. Kyle is a great coach that made bad decisions in the last game.

I don’t understand how we can call him a “great coach” when throughout his career as an OC and a head coach who regularly underperforms in the biggest of spots.

 

[fightinfunbags]

That's sports though, we create narratives around events that are often pretty random. If the Niners don't muff that punt Shanahan has his ring and is a genius, Wilks has one too and still has a job, and Purdy is the guy who beat the GOAT in the Super Bowl.

If Jimmy G doesn't overthrow Sanders in the last Niners Chiefs SB he's a Super Bowl MVP and who knows how things go then after, do they keep him for many years after? Do they draft Trey Lance? It all hinges on really tiny things.

Extrapolation like this (if they don’t muff the punt) is flawed. It changes the game script of the entire game if that doesn’t happen.

Why do you keep saying "my guy" ? I was the one to blame Shanahan for the SB loss, you keep ignoring that.

I explained why he's not a scapegoat. One does not equal the other.

Shanahan lost the SB. Wilks was not a good fit. Both are true statements.

Reid was a great coach before winning it all. He lost plenty of big games.

Yep.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Wilks wasn't fired because of the SB. This was coming and was expected.

Stupid move

I don’t think you understand how football works. With a 25 point lead a defense is going to go conservatively and keep everything in front of them. That offense continued to go 3 and out in the 2nd half. That complicated defensive problems because they were on the field like the whole second half. Shanahan doesn’t get all the blame but he owns a great deal of it.

I disagree. Great coaches win rings. Reid established himself as a great coach when he won rings in KC. Maybe Shanahan will too someday.

I know how football works. You just proved my point. I said Shanahan does not get all the blame yet people keep blaming him only. Nobody is blaming the Falcons defense or Quinn.

It's a team sport. The whole team blew the lead.

It's almost like one DC fits well with the players and HC. The other wasn't a good fit from the start and that was reported on all year in SF.

Stupid move

It really was.

That’s a product of the fact that whenever he has a team, he falls short in the biggest of spots. Quinn has rings with Seattle as DC.

Nobody is blaming the Falcons defense or Quinn.

Didn’t dude ultimately get fired? Isn’t that blame and being called to task?

It's a team sport. The whole team blew the lead.

I agree. Who leads the team?

 

[fightinfunbags]

It really was.

No, it’s not. They can find many worthy candidates that will want to coach the talent on that roster. Defense is more about the Jimmy’s and Joes than it is the X’s and the Os.

If the HC takes the blame, why are people constantly saying Shanahan is 0-3?

I never see this with other coaches.
