Can't believe they had a chance at someone who has 5 SBs and knows how to call defenses that stopped us in the SB twice AND stopped the undefeated Patriots.

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…
Merritt was offered the Giants DC job, but turned it down.

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

Dude f**k off. I didn't hear s**t from this Hensley guy. I told you I heard it on one of the 49er pods I listen to back when he was let go.
why would I give a s**t about any of that? I'm not pro or anti Sorensen.
you running around here calling me a lier is a b***h move and you need to chill. I have nothing to gain making that up.

NY kinda related but this twiiter account that some of us told you was not a reliable source proved just that. unreliable.
no other source reported it because it simply wasnt true.

Not the move I would've made, would've gone with Merritt but I have no issue here. I hope they see something big with Sorensen since he was moved up very quickly since getting here just a couple of years ago. Bringing in Staley to assist without giving him the job is very smart too. People hate on him but he's a smart guy, just a bad HC.
Always said I would let results to speak for themselves but my initial thought was this was a solid move even if I would've preferred bringing in Merritt.

I reached out to that guy and asked him WTF that was about. Silence. He's had stuff in the past that turned out correct (he said we reached out to Bill and Mike Sliver later on verified it).
I brought up the wilks stuff right after I heard it on a pod. I can't for the life of me remember which one or I would share it.
I'm not lying about what I heard….doesn't mean it was accurate. I have nothing to gain lying about anything. I don't appreciate being called a lier over something so stupid. It's a b***h move and that s**t needs to stop.

It's the establishment policy. Agree with everything Kyle says and does. Don't question because you don't know better. Don't replace because no one else knows better.
It's the newer younger fan base. The older folks (at least the majority of them) held the team to a higher standard. I didn't cry when Seifert was fired. I was pissed that he couldn't beat Green Bay, and this guy has 2 SB wins with us. Wasn't pissed when Mooch got fired, and he took us to the NFCC game his first year without Rice.
Now we have a guy that's lost 2 SBs and 2 NFCC games in 5 years and to question him is heresy because (A) supposedly nobody better exists in the coaching world and (B) he's a perennial 2nd place winner so it's ok.
Awful

Where is the name calling?
Kyle's 16-day coordinator search, summarized: Called Belichick. Tried to get Spags (as per @DMRussini). Tried to pry Ulbrich from Jets. Interviewed 2 outside minority candidates. Promoted Sorensen and brought in Staley to freshen up the back end. Onward.
