49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

You could argue we need a slot receiver who can run routes but really the team is more likely to decline than get better.

It's mostly we need a coach that knows that you can't run a lot of play actions on a team with 70 sacks. Or that your offense is too complex for a non genius QB to execute.

The problem imo is not the talent...

When this team wins together it's incredible. But when they lose together, it is in EPIC fashion.

I don't mind the criticism of Kyle.

It's the wild calls for him to be fired that does my head in.

Very much facts! Kyle is a heck of a coach. Glad he's the coach of the niners. If it wasn't for some very unfortunate luck Philly can be beaten. Felt like him and lynch put together a hell of a team. Couple positions we can hopefully address this off-season and like where we are headed into next season.

Only once ( 2019 ) has our QB managed to stay healthy under Kyle.
Every season before and after that, our Qbs are always getting Injured.

Is that really bad luck?

He doesn't deserve to be fired. But he deserves a lot of criticism.

-Improved play at DT. The loss of DJ Jones was felt in how many times they let teams run up the middle.

-Further upgrades at CB, Ward was a huge positive step but they need to add to the position.
-Improved pass blocking at RG and RT. They need to decide if Burford is the future at RG or if they need someone better there. Is McGlinchey worth the big deal he's going to command or can they get better/similar performance for less by drafting a tackle?

Facing scrutiny from the press and fans. He should have to explain the decision and take accountability for it being a poor one.

Kroft is generally a good blocker. Not like he had Dwelley out there.

99 times out of 100 that's just a fumble.

And therefore 99 out of 100 times it's a poor decision. You don't leave a TE one-on-one with a guy who had 18 sacks.

Yet NFL teams do it every single week. Bosa has been matched up with TE's plenty of times.

Show me how many times Bosa has been lined up one-on-one against a TE (a backup no less) in passing situations this year.

And then show me how many time Bosa was successful.

You're not making the point you think you're making.

Deserves a helluva lot more credit, though. So long as that is included,...criticize away.

At some point after losing QBs every, you'd hope Kyle can figure out we can't let free runners or unblocked rushers just continue to put big hit after big hit on our QBs.
