It can go beyond flaws, depending on your view. Like the worst draft investement in team history, during a SB window no less, and near zero ROI. That was likely all him. I don't buy Jed or Lynch calling QB shots. Or having the play sheet as these 10 pt leads disintegrate. Over, and over, and over. I don't care how you slice the DC maneuvers, they sucked. I think he should have empowered Wilks and had him run his scheme, or hire Sorensen a year sooner. So there are most likely rings we left on the table. How about having this team as unprepared for a big moment as any club we have seen over 58 SBs? Can you name any SB moment as unprepared as our OT? The takeaway on that game will forever be they planned for the moment and we didn't, and lost. Now if this is enough to get him on the hot seat or out is subjective to who is making that determination. Some owners are more accepting of missteps than others. I'll say Harbs got canned for much less, Harbs never really made huge mistakes, he just butted heads with ppl in the FO including the bossman.
lol I was with you for some of those until you went back to the hyperbole BS of being unprepared for a the big moment thing.
Im honestly sick of doing this run around again and again. Fact is this was the first time teams played with this new format and no matter how many times you act like 49ers not going over the rules ahead of the game changed nothing about why it had no impact on the loss.
You act like OT set new rules in place or passing yards counted different from rushing yards. It was football. Our goal was to score a TD and stop KC from matching or exceeding that.
We didn't get the TD and we didn't stop KC from getting theirs. You honestly believe Kyle not drilling the new OT rules changed that? Did the team somehow believe getting 3 points on the first drive actually counts as 9 and letting KC get a TD on their drive was fine?
Stop it. You can argue with the choice to get the ball first but there are pros and cons to each option and more logic actually pointed to it being a wise choice given what was happening in the game. It's just an easy one to rip apart given the results.
Much like your complaint about drafting Trey. To me that's a plus for Kyle the HC but a concern for Kyle the QB draft evaluator. We knew we had to replace Jimmy. I have 0 problem with them swinging for the fences with the QB pick if you don't have one. They saw an opportunity and went for it. It didn't work out and it sucks but we lucked into Purdy so it didn't hurt nearly as bad as it could have.
It's funny you blame Kyle for hiring Wilks and not letting him do his own thing…as if we haven't seen Wilks do some of his own thing this year in epic fail fashion. We have no idea what Sorensen would've done had he got the job last year. Guy was with the team for 2 years then I believe. That's a tough ask. But of course you won't actually put any ownership on Wilks for his job. It shouldn't be up to Kyle to micromanage Wilks. Everyone blamed Kyle for the Falcons SB loss when the HC was a defensive guy and they blew a 28-3 lead. The defense this SB played well most of the game but scheme and playcall wise one coach choked late in that game and it wasn't the guy calling the offense plays.
It's also hilarious to me that you claim Harbs got fired for less. You want to talk unprepared for SBs? Do you recall how the SB under Harbaugh started? We weren't paying Mahomes. It was Joe Flacco. We had the best OL in the game, dominant defense and arguably one of the most dangerous QBs in the game at that time and two elite TEs when our offense was clicking. We start the game with an illegal formation and needed a blackout to help kill the Ravens momentum so we could make it a game at the end…and on 1st and goal we don't let Frank Gore get a single carry and run it just once with LaMichael James and Harbs' slow ass playcall style utilizing 3 different coaches results in him panic calling a timeout and taking off a likely game leading TD.
But yes Kyle was the one who came into the SB unprepared…
