So, the Niners wasted season has mercifully come to an end... I don't ever want to see Nick Mullens and his stupid hick face in a 49ers uniform again... Play Bethard the rest of the way and draft a QB and an offensive line...
And while I am at it... Would SOMEBODY please get McGlinchey a damned meal. Dude gets blown up on every single play! He needs to beef up. He's playing O-Line with a Tight End build.
Kendrick Bourne... You gotta go. You do that damned happy dance on the odd occasion that you actually catch the ball (provided you are in open space and the ball hits you square in the numbers... and even then it's a toss up). But you celebration dance happens so infrequently that nobody knows your signature moves.
Richie James... It's ok to actually RETURN the ball from time to time on special teams... at least twice today you could have turned a battleship around in the space you had.
As for the D...
I'll pay for the damned flight myself to get Saleh off to Detroit. Last year proved he can be good... so long as his defense is absolutely stacked. This guy was below average before last year and this year he has reverted to form.
Arik Armstead... you get a pass for this year... JUST. And that's only really because you've had to take over the EDGE duties and that clearly isn't your bag. Next year however...
Uncle Sherm... Please stay. Find a way to make it happen.
And as for Shanahan... Like Armstead.. you get a pass this year, but your ass better be on a real short leash next season and every chair you sit in better be warm!

I don't know why you're complaining about Saleh. The defense did not give up a single touchdown...
And Arik Armstead played the entire game inside today. He didn't take a single snap outside at edge.

Under 200 yards of offense and only 9 points surrendered and apparently it's not good enough by Webzone standards.
We should probably drop the bar down for our next DC or he will never live up to these standards.

Agree. 14 points all from Mullens cost us that game

Yeah, Saleh has been a great DC, the defense played well, it was the offense who sputtered. The good thing about Saleh getting a HC job is we get 2 3rd round picks for losing him.
I agree with giving AA a pass, he has no Ford, Bosa, or DeFo on the DL.
We need a Returner like Mecole Hardman who's not afraid to return it, if Aiyuk wasn't such a vital part of the offense I'd put him back there, but no way with him being the top WR.
I wish we could find a way to keep Sherm, but he knows the 49ers situation better than anyone, he knows the team needs to pay Trent and Warner, plus players like Deebo, Dre, Bosa, Kinlaw, Aiyuk, Mostert, Moseley, and others in the future.

Amazes me anyone could watch the game today and have bad things to say about the defense.
They didn't give up a single touchdown and lost. Smh

What am i missing here? I've seen several posts saying we get 2 3rd rounders if Saleh gets hired. Fill me in

Bosa? Kinlaw? Deebo? Aiyuk? How long of a contract you expecting Sherman to be looking for?

Only the 46 defense or 2000 Ravens would appease the web one. Id argue this year is Saleh 's best job to date.

Agreed on Saleh part, he's had to deal with so many injuries, and yet the defense still looks really good.

The new hiring rules passed applying to hiring minorities as HCs or GMs. Saleh is of Lebanese descent, so him getting a HC job figures into their equation. The team would get a 3rd round pick for consecutive years.
