Even in that context it doesn't make much sense. How often is a tackle missed and the guy goes BACKWARDS? Sure, maybe it happens once in a great while, but mostly people gain additional yards after a missed tackle.

Sorensen is an idiot

It isn't about a missed tackle sending the play backwards. It is about a play being set up to go for 30+, but someone blows it up allowing to be stopped for 5.

Maybe the Niners want to have a replacement ready before they fire him. Maybe they're going to move Sorensen to a different coaching position. It's always a good idea to have a plan before firing someone.

If he's going to be fired then I imagine they'd want to have a replacement plan in place before going ahead. Say you fire him and suddenly all your replacement choices aren't available and now you're having to dig around for another unproven coordinator?

This is how we ended up with Sorensen as others reported he was the 5th option. There's other coordinators, and up and comers on playoff teams, and there's coaches like Ulbrich that have not officially been let go. It's possible if we want the best guy we're going to have to wait until February.

In the meantime if something happens this week there's supposed to be a Thursday final season presser and it would be cleaner if our remaining terminations are done before then

I'm sure this has been posted, but holy s**t we went from 4th in the NFL in points allowed to 29th. If that doesn't justify instant firing then what does

Because he's Shanahan's BFF, his bro, his twin.

Your job is secured if you're buddies with Kyle.

They could be thinking of moving Sorensen to ST Coach. I believe he held that position in Jacksonville.

.@49ers @AZCardinals @_GDortch opening TD Is a tunnel screen. Anybody think these 49ers can play harder? I bet The great Rod Marinelli could point out a few negatives on this play. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/3a4PQ2rt9L

Pretty tough look for Sorensen's D here. Not exactly playing all out for their guy's job.
