That would have been Merritt but as we all know Kyle is his own worst enemy and his Ego will not let him learn. Causes great ignorance to not learn from his own mistakes or insanity by doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Merritt? Based on what? Just because they beat us? Lol

these dudes didnt even know who Merritt was last week. all of sudden he was the best choice.

Staley helping with gameplanning but not bring the playcaller is the absolute perfect role for him. He's reportedly smart and very creative so Sorenson will have some good input.

Agreed. I like this move as an initial impression. For all we know Sorenson was pushing back against Wilks all season on decisions and was proven correct in those calls again and again. Considering the SB game plan seemingly designed by him and Kyle that doesn't seem far-fetched.

what a joke.

How can one be certain that a career position coach who has never been a DC or play caller knows how to call a defense?

🤡

Has more SBs han Kyle. Nuff said

You didn't answer the question because we both know you can't.

Merrit has never called a defense so the reality is you don't know if he knows how to call a defense or if he would be successful as a play caller.

🤡

So what ? Why does it always have to be absolutes to all you Shanafans ? Don't fire Kyle. Why ? Because there is NO ONE that can replace him. Don't hire Merrit ? Why not ? Because he NEVER got hired before. Jesus, I get the love fest but get a grip. Sorensen never got hired as a DC either. So maybe he's not a good replacement for DC. But wait….let me answer for you. Sorensen has only been a position coach for 7 years while Merritt has been doing it for much longer. Since Merritt never got a promotion to DC, he absolutely must not be a good candidate for DC.

lol, the Shanafan mentality is awesome…

His interview and yes because he won and we have a participation trophy. I know some folks like the fact we are number 2 but we used to be number 1 and anything less was not acceptable. Kyle will probably never win it all wth the niners. Hope I'm wrong but just don't see it.

So why is Merritt better in your opinion? What insight do you have regarding Merritt and his style and what Sorensen presented?

Also, name calling isn't allowed.

I suppose this is a possibility too.

Brandon Staley is there to take over as the play caller in case the #49ers want to relinquish those duties from Nick Sorensen midseason like they wanted to do with Steve Wilks.

Could have said the same thing about Ryans and the team hiring Bettcher at the same time. At some point you just have to trust the hiring process.

Sorensen from the very beginning was the most obvious choice for DC if they were going to stay in-house.

You sat in on his interview? Look at you. Should have pounded the table for him

all you do is talk about fans but never make a case for the coach.

the team is 2-0 on internal DC hires. 0-1 on outside hires.

fans have nothing to so with the equation. you ONLY like Merritt because he criticized Kyle. that's moronic.

Look at all the hate for the 49ers hiring from within most of the time. In the real world people love those types of employers and want to work there. I'm sure other coaches and front office guys see this also.

Kyle is his own worst enemy. He needs to be surrounded by yes men, and guys in the media that will support his style and compliment him. It's one of the gripes that fans have with all our best writers. Outside of Cohn, no one challenges Kyle when he stands at the podium.

So now you're in a position where you lost 2 SBs to the same team, and instead of learning from your mistakes and poaching one of their coaches, or bringing another guy from outside that offers a different flavor when facing that same team, you decide to promote a guy that was with you the FIRST time you lost to that team in the SB.

What exactly does Sorensen bring to the table that is different from 2019 ? And now 2023 ? It's obvious why Kyle promoted him. He wants a yes man that will call the game Kyle's way.

But seriously, it's like Kyle actually wanted to hire Staley as HC (they have similar narcissistic personalities, imo)... but he knew it wouldn't fly for the players or the fans. Local Media would just slobber what ever decsion Kyle makes anyway, like some here..so that wasn't a worry.. but again players and fans matter.

So he couldn't hire Staley outright... so he hires a Coach the players already know and trust. But if that Coach struggles this upcoming season, Kyle will have his opening to have Staley take over. We've seen it on other teams (hell the Eagles last year).... and if fake ass person Brandon Staley doesn't work out, well you know the routine.

Seriously why would Staley accept some assistant role, after being a HC? Because he's been reassured the job is his to rescue, if there are troubles for the Super Bowl favorite team. A rescue that might actually help him get rid of the stench, that was his Charger HC run..

This post tells me tinfoil is on sale somewhere so please share where you got yours because I too wish to make a tinfoil hat.

If we struggle on defense this year, do you see Staley taking over the play calling... or the DC position, if Sorenson gets fired?

I mean do you think Sorensen is actually happy Staley got hired? That he has to look over his shoulder and try to coach mistake free?... compared to going into his first opportunity as a DC, being free and creative.

Remember when we promoted Meco and hired James Bettcher as a Senior Defensive Assistant?

Or when Kyle was hired and he in turn hired Saleh as DC and decided to keep Jason Tarver on the staff as a Senior Defensive Assistant?

Those examples weren't Head Coaches, the previous season.

What does being a HC the year prior have to do with the point you tried to make about Sorensen looking over his shoulder because of Stanley's presence?

Staley's presence in no different than the examples I posted.

I'm open minded. If we're healthy, we should be good still on D.
