That said, I dont see anybody else better in the NFL coaching the 49ers other than Kyle. He has the pedigree, history and connections with the legends of the past. Now with an elite franchise QB in Brock, he's got his ideal more mobile and accurate Kirk Cousins QB. He's set to dominate the NFL the way Reid/Mahomes and Belichick/Brady did in the past. We shall see.
I think a lot of HC'a have issues when playing from behind in the 4th QR. that's not just a kyle thing.
IMO that's when you need your highly paid studs to show up. Boss make a 3rd down sack, Warner get a INT, kittle/deebo/BA/CMC break some tackles and score a TD. Trent block the snot out of their best pass-rusher. Brock don't shell up and make a play.
They've made big plays in big moments. Gotta have it in the 4th QR of the the Super Bowl now….on both sides.
Yeah...let's be honest this team isn't built to just air the ball out without the threat of the run. Yes we can do it but when the other team knows we have to pass(common when a team is down late) it exposes our biggest weakness - pass pro.
Brock had moments where he can make up for it and given our talent at the skill positions that certainly helps. But KC got us in the rush and at the backend with blanket coverage. I think that's why Kyle addressed WR. He's looking for more guys who can get open quickly. It's also why I think we keep Aiyuk when it's all said and done. He was getting open in the SB, just wasn't getting the ball because we featured Deebo more or because his routes were longer developing ones and the OL wasn't giving Brock time to hit him.
But yes...you need your big players to make big plays in key moments. KC keeps getting it from their guys whether it's Mahomes/Kelce or Chris Jones and this last one...Trent McDuffie.
When you have your top guys having a rough game in the biggest game...the odds of you winning regardless of the coaching decisions definitely take a hit.
I think Kyle is a fine coach. The difference between a guy like Kyle and a guy like Walsh was the experience Walsh had. Walsh knew when to calm players down and when to rile them up. Kyle is different, but the same in many ways. I think as the Purdy/Kyle relationship matures and gains experience - it can possibly rival the dynasty years. Too many fans are too impatient in my opinion. Kyle and Purdy are by no means finished products. As they both push themselves to grow, they will eventually get better.
I highly doubt it.
