lol exactly. These Shanahan fans are something else. They consider this 2 SB / 2 NFCC loss era as some sort of glorified time period that will be remembered fondly by fans. lol wut ?!

Sadly, they use baseless anecdotes to defend their claims. I LIVE in NY, and interact with Bills Jets and Giants fans daily. But hey some of these guys that live nowhere near NY have a "friend" that tells them Marv Levy was the greatest coach ever and those 90s Bills were an all-time team. Therefore, if those "friends" can think like that, then all Bills fans think like that, therefore all us Niner fans should consider the Shanahan era as this very successful period that will go down in history and we will never forget how great he was

it's getting comical with these guys…

Nothing like the sight of Clueless Kyle.

I believe the Super Bowl hangover is real. It is hard to keep the guys as hungry and fired up all long season long after a long hard run to get there, only to lose it. I also believe that Kyle has lost a lot of trust in the players' confidence in winning it even if they do get back there. A big part of that is Kyle's total bonehead mismanagement of giving Mahomes the first opportunity to win it. I believe it was disgraceful and a bad character look for him not to own it by saying his "analytics department" told him to do that. Nobody told him to do that with two gray cells between their ears to rub together. I don't know if it was just a brain f@rt, or he didn't know the playoff OT rules, but either way, he wasn't prepared. Kinda what all coaches preach to the players.

I know Kyle's record, but so many of the things that got him there will not be replicated in the future. There is something to the idea that defenses have now had years to make their adjustments to his offense, and it sure looks to me that he is not being flexible to make them pay for those adjustments.

He shows No ability to run a defense or ST, so he needs great coordinators in those positions. He totally failed in hiring those positions this year. Too bummed out to put out the effort?

Is he a motivator? Yes, hangover, but gee wizz, where's the effort to overcome that. Where's the results. This team looks flat.

Coaching? These guys are running into each other. These guys are dropping way too many balls. Yeah, I know, injuries. But imo, these guys aren't bearing down mentally. And nobody's calling them out and making them. Maybe that can't win enough games, but they can sure look better.

Many players have suggested that Kyle has favorites. He does. It causes him to hang on to these guys Way beyond when he should be working younger players onto the field. This also causes him to retain these players on the roster too long, and paying them too much to do so, and now we're on the verge of cap hell.

Kyle's record has been aided by what many have thought to be the best roster in the league. I credit that to the guy that has that job. It's just my opinion, but to the extent Kyle does influence player acquisitions, I think he leans towards traits, whereas Lynch leans towards football players. Kyle leans for keeping those favorites instead of turning them into draft picks, which heads you into a wall. Player evaluation is a talent that many coaches do not do well in, but Lynch has always said he won't deny what Kyle needs for his offense. It was reported that John did ask Kyle if he was sure he wanted to pass on Mahomes, and Kyle said that he did.

I've posed this question many times, and I've yet to see an answer. Aside from play design, what head coach functions is Kyle above average at? Imo, it's not motivation, it's not managing a defense, it's not managing special teams, it's not making in game adjustments on offense when the defense is out in front of you, it's not in bringing young players along and getting them reps, it's not putting pressure on players and holding them accountable to not make mistakes, it's not on taking responsibility for failures as opposed to blaming players. You know what? It's not even coaching up players. As an offensive guy, what quarterback has he ever made better under his leadership from when they first walked onto his field?

I've been a Niner fan for a long time. I know. He hit the ground running with a thoughtful offense and young players and had significant succerss. But the offense is stale, and the players are old and lacking that youthful exuberance, and his reluctance to move on from his favorites has driven us into cap restraints. I think we're done, until we get some new blood in the Head Coaching office.

Just My Opinion.

What's comical is talking out your ass and acting like whatever you are imagining in your head is true.

No one here is saying any sort of crap your spewing, I and other are just telling you how stupid your posts are because none of it is true.

if you want to talk football, then talk football. don't come crying and whining and expect grown men to follow you.
