John Lynch - 49ers GM

It was primarily Wilks fault, not all. But i'm sure when the D improves you will give all the credit to the new players and none to Sorensen.

Meanwhile no one is banging down Wilkes door to hire him. Imagine that.

Special kind of stubborn to keep shilling for Wilks

No shilling for anybody lol, check prior page guy points out 5 new starters in FA right away, ok, does that not speak to our club last year and this. We need some help in terms of our D players, if it was a great D roster just run it back with a new DC, notice that ain't happening. Real issues with Hargrave not being a run stuffer next to AA with plantar fasciitis. That's why you see these DTs coming on board. Also real issue with no rush opposite Nick, and Chase and Gregory not wanted back is my reading.

That says nothing for the scheme and playcalling issues that people were pointing out all season long.

We changed out edge rushers and are replacing depth and a long time starter on the line who costs too much.

We have been over the scheme it was the wrong move to hire a guy and ask him to leave his knowledge at the door and run our scheme. We never even ran the guys scheme. Wasted year if you ask me. If you wanted the in house guy hire him a year ago. Botched job imo. But that's on Kyle he runs the staff and he typically does a great job there. Lynch just makes the D personnel moves, I think he was banking on a healthier AA in 2023.

edit - probably also banking on Drake making a leap of some sort, and had to get Chase and Gregory when he didn't

Lol jfc

Well it's been beaten to death already. No argument it was a bad hire (falls on Kyle) but to pretend it's some sort of a problem for Wilks to run the scheme the team wants him to run when he voluntarily took the job is pretty stupid. It's also a common practice when bringing in assistants. He's just not a good coach.

Pretty hard to argue with the master of circular logic

Really liking the moves we've made so far. Hopefully can get a CB in either a nickel or an outside guy that can kick Demo in full time.

This is just a rehash of the Jimmy stuff. Poor performance is all on Kyle with nothing to put on the player or coach. Then the new guy will be better and the goalposts will move again like it did with Brock.

Maybe Wilks is actually washed

Why didn't the 9ers ask Wilks for his knowledge on how to run the worst run defense in the history of Missouri football? Must be Kyle's ego.

Exactly, lol. We've had one of the best defenses for half a decade but we should switch things up to placate a coach who hasn't had any real success either as an HC or coordinator. Kyle must have had a gun to his head in the interview process. Oh well, some people don't learn.

Wilks wasn't a bad coach he's just washed.

Am I doing this right?

I think you have a point. The defense broke down in the middle of the season. It did rally. Some of the credit has to go to Wilks for that. But it broke down again near the end and in the playoffs. It did not recover in time for the Super Bowl.

The dynamic offense under Purdy really masked a lot of these problems. Purdy could not be stopped in a lot of regular season games. Some games were over by halftime. But there were also teams who stood toe to toe with the 49ers and really slugged it out. Both games against AZ are good examples.
