He kind of seems like the defensive version of Shanahan. He can design a defense better then almost anyone, but he needs the right plays to execute it. If he cant figure it out here, he probably isn't getting another shot as a coordinator job.
He can design a defense better than almost anyone? Lmao. Based on what? 1 season with the Rams or the 70 plus one of the worst teams in the NFL dropped on him?
Didn't say he was producing good defensives with the Chargers. Just said he was really good as designing plays. I mean was Shanahan bad when the offense wasn't scoring points in 3 of his first 4 years or did he not have the players to execute it? I would like to think a coach like him would do well with the talent the 49ers have on defense. I like his odds better then any position coach being brought up. No coach available now is going to be perfect.
I get what you're saying. I'm wary of bringing in a rookie DC to manage a defense of a team that needs to win now so Staley isn't a rookie DC - he's had one season.
One thing to know with Staley's system that some of us may not be considering is that there would be a complete overhaul of how the front 7 plays. Are we okay with the risk of having some players not pick up the system, for example, until week 5? What if some don't pick it up at all? It affects the DL and offball LBs.
