It's reasonable to be disappointed that Shanahan hasn't pulled off a SB win, and even to think there may be a guy out there who could do better.
It's irrational to say Shanahan is a bad coach, that pretty much any other coach could do better, and to think Shanahan has no chance of ever winning a SB. Again, people said this in Philly about Reid around 2009 after losing 4 NFC CGs and a SB. The ability is clearly there with Shanahan, and nobody knows the future, but any reasonable person would see his odds of winning a SB vs. the average coach candidate is better.
It's outright trolling to claim Harbaugh is a better NFL coach because of college victories.
AND when your whole fire shanahan debate is based around "choking" BUT you love Harbs and defend him at all costs….for losing 2 NFCCs and a SB while the HC of SF. Has to be trolling, no one is that dumb.

It is what it is.
Seifert won 2 SBs. He was the defensive architect for most of those SB teams. Give Kyle those rosters I'm willing to bet he botches those chances. But again, it was predictable that the Shanahan supporters would go ahead and attack a 2 time SB winner. Not to mention 2 additional SB trophies as DC of the Niners. It's quite pathetic what the Kyle cult has become. Bashing EddieD. Bashing Seifert. Bashing Harbaugh.
The best predictor of future performance is past performance. This is not absolute especially if one learns from past mistakes, adjusts and improves. I personally would love for him to do that but he hasn't so all we have to go on is his actual performance which does include post season success sans a championship but it also includes ongoing mismanagement of games and failure to perform when coaching matters most-Close games of major consequence. Kyle disciples think Kyle criticism is limited to this forum.. Sorry to say it's not. Take a look at cbs coach rankings. ESPN. Etc etc. they credit his accomplishments but they also share his weaknesses including his inability to win the big game. His reputation as a genius is fading. At some point ownership will lose patience and move on. And for all of you who just repeat the same talking point— and who would you want to replace him——

Kyle is not the one and only for the 49ers. There are choices now and there will be choices in the future so please stop repeating that played out, weak ass threat.
