If that's true then wow. The only really thing Wilks had going for him was that the defense performed pretty well in the SuperBowl. The play-calling still sucked and had issues but we came out playing well with what looked like a good game plan.

I noticed they played 3 safeties the entire Super Bowl which seemed different than the rest of the games. Maybe Nick and Shanny came up with that plan Wilks wasn't on board 💯 and that what got Wilks fired.

NY you got a link to that story? Had not heard that. Considering how well we played in the SB defensively id really like to see that report. That's exciting!

Went to High School with him and hung out in the same circle of friends. Classy dude and a good head on his shoulders. Couldn't be happier for him!!

It was from a pod I listened too…wish I would have saved it. I can't remember the pod unfortunately. It was brought up as soon as Wilks was let go.
I mean wasn't like jumping up and down for Staley. But he was better then Vrable & more realistic then Belichick. Better candidates were already hired. Downside of having to wait till after the Superbowl. I did like he kind of seemed like the defensive Shanahan, great game planner. We will see if he learned anything from the experience in LA or not.
Not liking the hire wanted experience to win the Superbowl. Shanahan will go backwards IMO he needs to get over the hump like Andy Reid did with a Superbowl Winning DC
