Not like how the Big Mean Jim Harbaugh treated little jed. 😔

"I've got a good relationship with Jed.." Shanahan said. "It's more what I have between him and myself."

When asked if the relationship has always been open and consistent, Shanahan replied, "Yeah, definitely. No, Jed is very easy to talk to. We've known each other here for, now eight years, and we feel very fortunate for how he is through the good and the bad. And the communication really never changes, regardless of what's going on."

Awwe so cute.

Making fun of this is really weird lol

The obsession is real with some in this thread. At least Jed realizes how good he has it with Kyle as HC, and that is all that really matters.

Fixing the trenches should be #1 on our list of things to do this off-season, as well as replacing both the ST and DC.

This team Isn't In need of some full rebuild. Injuries and miscues derailed any chance we had of reaching the playoffs this season.

What belief do you have that with the same players a year older there is going to be less injuries or that they will be as good as they were or better than before?

There's no players in the pipeline behind a bunch of aging stars...

You think there going to make it back and win a SB riding the coats of a bunch of 30-40 year old NFL players?

There's no chance...

Purdy would have to get a lot better and I don't see that happening given the track record of every QB regressing under shanahan...

The reality is the situation is bleak... This isn't some young team like the Seahawks that are a piece or two away... It's an aging team of overpaid veterans with a coach who is reluctant to hand the reigns over to young players...

Bingo. It's the reality of several bad drafts in a row. We are an old overpriced roster. Health will continue to be an issue when you are leaning on a ton of older vets. Our FO has totally neglected the trenches. Seemed like at one point we were a d line machine and all of the sudden that stopped.

SD, I don't think we're as far away as you say. We definitely have holes, yes. But I'd say we also need some guys to play better. Purdy needs to get better with his reads and not getting fooled. Needs to make smarter plays.

As for personnel, we have some room to pickup a few free agents if we want.

I'd get a veteran kicker and punter probably.

I'd draft DE, DT, IOL, S, TE, LB and a speed receiver.

I'd get Cowing and Pearsall to work with personal coaches in the off-season to come in ready to start. I really want to trade Deebo and roll with Pearsall and Jennings at split end and Cowing in the slot until Aiyuk comes back.

I'm sorry I grew up with Eddie D as the owner... he wouldn't say s**t like that, or give off that impression to his head coach.

Again I would praise this commitment/support from Jed if Kyle gave the impression he is a coach who admits mistakes, learns from those mistakes, open to trying to fix issues.

But no... nothing will change next year. Sure we'll have CMC back..maybe another player or two (who will hopefully play to their previous level)... but at the end of the day, Kyle is in charge. He makes the calls. He makes the decisions on who to play... for how long....what to choose in OT... etc. None of that is going to change. We had a pretty healthy team in 2023 (not including Huff) and we barely won our two playoff games because inexperience of those young teams and Detriot's knucklehead coach. And of course lost the Super Bowl.

By next year those teams (Lions, Packers) will be better.. and the Vikings are here to stay with their solid head coach... and other NFC teams are headed in the right direction, the reason they were in the playoff hunt/in the playoffs. With maybe head coaches who won't trip over themselves..and will let their players try to win their games, without the head coach getting in the way.

You nailed it.

We have a head coach who believes every play call is optimal and perfect. If the play doesn't work for some reason it's because they "didn't execute."

With our coach the possibility that the play drafted or called was not perfect is not an option...

It's always an execution problem and never a problem due to coaching...

Other head coaches are able to see what strengths their players have and weaknesses other players have and exploit those.

Our head coach believes the x and os on the clipboard say the play should work so it should work regardless of who you sub in for x and o.

Hell you can put a 250 lb fullback at wr according to our coach and the play should work optimally...

Kyle called a great game last night. Probably gave up on the run a little early but I was happy to see him stay aggressive.

other than Dobbs not looking clearly inferior to purdy, that game couldn't have gone any better.

moody showed his ass: check. Won't be here next year

sorenson showed his ass: check. Will at least consider firing him

We lost and protected our draft status: check

pearsall emerges: check

Kyle flexed a bit: check

2025 gonna be siiickkkkk

Always fun to twist a point that works against your argument into something that hypothetically would support it.

They did acquire CMC. That's a move they made to continue their SB window. That's exactly the type of positive that supports the idea that they know how to build a roster, lol.

Their season was falling apart without CMC in 2022 what are you talking about… just like it fell apart without him this year

kyle can't fire sorenson. otherwise no up and coming guy DC would want the role...

He wouldn't be firing Sorensen for an up and coming guy. He'd be firing him for an established guy.

Heard a stat on Larry K podcast that the teams with the very best O-lines are all in the playoffs...

Is 2025 season the year Shanny finally takes the trenches seriously???

I could see that being a problem two to three years from now, but not next season. Most of our experience guys still have a few years left In the tank and I see guys like, Brock and Deebo rebounding next year also.

You seem to have real trouble acknowledging a very simple point.

We're talking about whether or not Kyle and CO have shown an ability to build a roster. You say CMC saved their jobs. Well, who acquired him?

They get credit for the CMC move because they're the ones who made it, whether you think he saved their jobs or not. We went to 2 NFCCG without him as well.
