Shanny's coaching staff is a bunch of who's whos. This coaching staff is rather pathetic. Every single defensive coach should be let go and most of his offensive coaches should do the same. The staff he has assembled here is straight up abysmal.
These quotes did not age well.
bunch of fans who expected things to turn around over night. bunch of fans who cried and complained about how we were losing completely ignoring the fact Jimmy tore his ACL week 3. fans who could never for some reason see the bigger picture and think long term as opposed to instead only paying attention to the wins/losses and nothing else. not WHY we were losing. not HOW we were losing. the 49ers never got blown out and barely lost the past 2 years. but fans were like, "mORALE viCtorIEs donT couNT". no one was saying that. however context was key. the team was competitive. but the debbie-downer cry babies were already giving up on Shanahan before giving him a fair chance. not taking in consideration he and Lynch had to start from the ground up.
I was never concerned that we were losing in 2017, and then 2018. because I had REALISTIC expectations. we had a makeshift roster in 2017 that was just getting stared and a stopgap QB until we got our franchise QB. 2018 we lost jimmy. still needed more pieces on defense. season sucked. but i was hoping for that high draft pick when Jimmy went down. already knew 2018 season was over. and behold, we get Bosa. which we never would have gotten if Jimmy hadn't gone down.
everything happens for a reason. Jimmy tearing his ACL turned out to be a blessing in disguise. (the players literally said this themselves yesterday...)
I supported Shanahan and company day 1 and never wavered. yeah losing sucks and is tough, but A. we WERE competitive B. needed more time/talent/ C. Jimmy tore ACL, so more losing... obviously..
some fans just couldn't comprehend or see this. tried to explain this to them as those seasons were transpiring. oh well.
