Jets Browns Titans 2x and Colts. 4-1 very doable.

I think that's one of the reasons that Kyle didn't hire Fangio, because of Fangio's scheme. My own opinion on Fangio is he's a very good defensive coach, but his system is to linebacker centric for me. His schemes go back to the Dome Patrol back in the days of Joe and Steve. The Wide Nine is essentially a nickel defense based scheme and with Wilks, he has a chance to improve on the Wide Nine's back end coverages. Fangio's defenses center around linebacker play, but in this day and age, linebackers are more like DB's than run stoppers.
Defense is reaction based, while offenses know the snap count and play. So defense, by it's nature, needs to have more talent than offense because of the reactionary nature of the defense.

'grats to Demeco.
Rookie head coach taking a (now former) dumpster fire team to playoffs in year one.
Awesome storyline for a former and damned good 49ers DC.

AGree 💯%, I hated losing Demeco, but he's a very talented Coach. He deserves to move on beyond being just a coordinator. He'll be in the playoffs a lot with his QB Stroud. Stroud reminds me a lot of Purdy.

My lady is a Texans fan and she's over the moon. They've had an amazing season. Has to be coty and orpoty
Stroud seemingly has it all. The physical attributes and the mental. He was my favorite player in the draft. I had to constantly assure my lady they didn't want Young, that Stroud was Him.

Love this guy. If Shanahan couldn't be coach of the 49ers then I'd want Ryans. The energy and passion he brings to the job with a football IQ that is off the charts as a player and now as a coach and it doesn't hurt that he's an all around good dude too. I'm happy he's finding success this early.

All of this. Just absolutely amazing. And the fact that they hit on QB in year 1, along with an edge rusher (no. 1 and no. 2 needs as a team) bodes very well for them. They shouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon. However, I hope that DeMeco has an OC being groomed because I can't see Slowik being there past 2024 if Stroud has another good season.

KS should be coach of the year for finding him.
