49ers fire Wilks

[Glasgow Seahawk]

Not sure if it's harsh or not. Number 3 scoring defense and they played well in the super bowl but they underperformed at times.

If Salah had been fired this year I could have saw him go back there.

 

[Mizak]

he messed up in overtime against the Chiefs. Kyle was not happy, according to reports.

Seems harsh. I guess you can argue that that dline underperformed, but the Chiefs oline has a license to hold. I believe they've been called for holding once in three super bowls.

Shanny was more at fault in that game than Wilks, but Shanny aint gonna fire himself. Also, Shanny shouldn't have lied and said he expects everyone on the staff to be back. Should've just given the usual "we're going to sit down and evaluate everything" line when asked about specific coaches.

Today’s word is ‘Scapegoat’…

He wasn't amazing, but he did have pretty big shoes to fill having to follow Robert Saleh and Demeco Ryans. I'm not sure who they're going to get that's better this late in the process. They can't be delusional enough to think Belichick is going to swallow his pride.

I was surprised to see that Darryl Tapp was his assistant DL coach. Apparently, he is now headed to DC to take the Commanders' DL coach job under Dan Quinn.

Blaming Wilks is rich, considering Shanahan seems to keep forgetting you can run the ball with a second half lead.

I think it was more of Wilks was forced to fit the 49ers system rather than the 49ers fit Wilks system. It was kind of off from the start. Also, they played well in the Superbowl but massively underperformed in the NFC championship and divisional game. Shanahan overided a blitz call in OT

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Shanahan is one to talk, 0-3, in the Super Bowl with double digit leads…hahahaah

 

[SPOHAWK]

Could we hire as a senior Defensive Assistant?

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

I would absolutely love for Seattle to pick up Steve Wilks in some kind of coaching role….

The man is motivated!!!! Hahahah!!!

Harsh, but how many here wish Pete had done something similar in 2015?

Quinn was already heading to the Falcons as HC. This is a stupid comparison.

 

[Jac]

Shanahan getting pretty “defensive”’ in the press, and lots of finger pointing going around.

Reminds me of that douchebag coach for the Eagles.

I think he was referring to not canning the
OC.
