well as long as he has a leash, I hope he dominates, that would be a nice redemption for him and great for our squad, I bet it happens
who wants to bet?

I applaud your faith in him and hope you're right, but my gut says no bueno.

After the first five weeks, I thought we had another head coach for draft picks on our hands. Not so much now.

Wilks isn't going anywhere, he's in tight with the McCaffrey family. Which locks him in with the Shanahan family.

if the defense plays like it has been, he gone

even if the niners somehow slipped into the playoffs with wilks, how much confidence would we have in this guy playing the chess game against top tier playcallers?

zero

Wilks could have the 1985 Bears and they'd still be a middling defense.

He'd put Singletary in man coverage vs Justin Jefferson

i see wrs running with our lbs literally all the time

we have to pray our offense catches fire again, so the defensive performance doesnt matter

this is the only hope, which is still very slim

If you fire him, maybe you bring in a defensive consultant to help.

When the Ravens fired their OC Cameron, they did it the second week of December. I think if we continue to perform into December the same way we did the past few weeks, that's probably the earliest Wilks goes too.

Right now Purdy is hitting his first young player wall/resistance. This is the area where he realizes teams have adjusted or situations have changed that he hasn't faced much, and he has to find a way to improve in those areas.

It's really awful timing unfortunately because the defense is suddenly getting destroyed at a time where the offense needs to pickup the slack.

What about Johnny Holland? He's been here through Saleh and Ryans, knows the playbook they ran, coaches our LBs, knows this defense as well as anyone. That's what we need. Bringing in any outside people who don't know the personnel is what's failing us.

I should've clarified, I mean promote Bullocks and get an assistant with great familiarity the wide nine 4-3-4 scheme so he won't be totally overwhelmed. Then again, he may not need that.

If Bullocks was promoted they'd probably move Sorenson to full time DB coach.

Always felt promoting from within was the best route, as well as a working formula. Wilks either needs to swallow his pride and admit his scheme is garbage, or kick rocks.

Romo stated during the game that the bengals had the least amount of explosive plays in the NFL they had 14 plays of 15 yards or more coming into the game Sunday. The 49er defense fixed that problem for them.

richard sherman should replace him

1. he's smarter
2. he can fire up the defense
3. he knows the sysem

(i know he likely has no interest in coaching, i'm just saying)

I've never seen a coordinator be this destructive in my life. I've never hated a coordinator this much on this team. He literally took a Ferrari and ran it off the road into a pole in the ditch. All he had to do was hold steady and keep doing what they were doing. He couldn't even do that.

The guy comes off as a sweet-talking liar. He said we weren't going to change what was working and he came in and did exactly that. Instead of studying up to employ new variations of our successful concepts, he's forced our line and secondary to play his historic scheme which requires top tier press man corners and two heavy cogs in the middle of the DL to plug things up, not to mention this calls for a completely different gap scheme than the wide 9. It's literally different at every single level you can imagine and we have the exact opposite personnel you need to run it.

Plain and simple, he completely changed the scheme. The only reason we did OK before is because we played crappy teams and put up so many points on offense they became one dimensional. Even then, we had isolated moments of embarrassment.

He is well spoken and connects with people on a human level but schematically he's been a disaster anywhere he hasn't had a higher defensive authority over him. Unless we win a Super Bowl with him, I'd be absolutely astonished if he's here next year.
