This! Felt like a publicity stunt given the dark cloud we were trying to climb out of. From all of the open practices we went to, I saw nothing really excellent that she brought to the table. Then again we're not behind the scenes.

As anal as Kyle is about so many things,(his type of player, the way he play calls,the way he expects people to know the offense), do you seriously believe he would bring someone onto the staff as a publicity stunt?

Too many of the comments are absurd here. Had Kyle hired some random Joe to be an offensive assistant, the assumption would be that this guy earned their way there. But Katie Sowers, nah.."its gotta be a publicity stunt."

I don't know the reason but being an offensive assistant for 4 years and there is no real room for upward movement on this staff until we start losing some guys seems logical.

This, remember we have some characters on here dudes here really think an NFL HC who knows they need to win are going to hire people on his staff who don't bring anything to the team?

Adios
Katies fate was sealed in September when her sister dissed Kyle and the 49ers online. "While that would normally not be anything to raise concern, according to Liz, her sister was the only full-time coach who was not given a seat in first class. " This is when her sister felt the 49ers dissrespected her sister for being a girl. This is crazy because I looke on the org chart and she was way on the bottom, so not being in first class should be no surprise.

I think Katie and Kyle both knew when that went public that nothing would be said about the incident, but the team and her would part ways in the off season. Katie has herself to blame for confiding in her sister, and her sister should have not aired grievances in public.

Now if Katie asked Kyle for a minute, told him in private she felt disrespected, he would have respected her.
RIP katie sowers. good luck in your future endeavors!

was awesome having you!
Was she in charge of high ankle sprains?

I'm sure she's an outstanding coach. But the sister airing out team business definitely ended this relationship. Not sure why she wasn't sitting in 1st class to begin with, but that could just be a simple error that she could've easily been handled. She is not wrong for confiding in her sister that's what family should do, but her sis was wrong for airing out the business.

These are pathetic ass takes right here
I'm guessing she's following Saleh. Take the promotion to position coach. Best of luck.

Rational thinking right here

Yup. The niners respected her enough to hire her and making her the first female coach in nfl history. Im sure they would have understood if she went to them to discussed how she felt. I wish her the best where ever she goes but I hoped she learned her lesson. She put the organization in a needlessly uncomfortable situation that could gave easily been resolved internally.
