I'd like to see a link to the claim that Shanahan and Sorenson game planned the Defense prior to the Super Bowl.
It would change my perspective on the hire.

17 days just to hire someone right under our noses. Jim Tomsula all over again.
Holy **** what a clown franchise. We needed that Super Bowl win badly. The Chiefs single-handedly turned us into a permanent laughing stock.

It wasn't good enough regardless they lost again. Disappointed how is Shanahan going to get over the hump with this hire? Andy Reid needed a strong superbowl winning DC in Spags. This is going backwards IMO

Originally posted by Strwy2Hevn:Exactly. The Niners want to keep Aiyuk not piss him off more by hiring a guy who doesn't even know his name.

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.
Merritt talked himself out of the job

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.
Originally posted by Cisco0623:If it doesn't work I think there's a pretty good chance Saleh is back in the saddle at this time next year.
Not sure how I feel about this. I didn't want Staley at all, but since he's not the actual dc and more of an assistant (we shall see?) it's not as horrific sounding. Sorensen sounds OK imo. I just wish he did it last year.
This move could work while helping develop Sorensen and Staley reboots his own brain and career.
If this doesn't work, they must blow up the defensive side of the ball and bring in someone fresh with their ideas to run that side.
I would have liked an outside guy like Vrabel but that meant his own staff etc. Kyle isn't ready to do that on a likely one year rental. Understandable and let's hope it works out.

The f**k are you talking about? It was definitely good enough if the damn oline blocked and didn't miss assignments giving Brock enough time. Add the fact Greenlaw went out and they had to put that slug Burks out there. The d played well enough that it shouldn't have gotten to that point in OT
