It's reality. For your ilk, it's a way to justify the mediocrity of the current team. You use nonsense to excuse the current state of affairs in Santa Clara. Team lost 2 SBs in 5 years. Your retort….EddieD would've fared the same. Get out of here with that nonsense. The dude was 5/5 in Superbowls, and had the audacity to fire 2 head coaches that won multiple rings for him, then still hired a guy that took the team to the NFCC game his first season. And YES, part of that success was during the salary cap era. You just can't stomach it because it emphasizes how far from grace this franchise has fallen. We're no different than the Cowboys. Jerry Jones is a joke for NFL fans because he took a proud franchise and turned it into a meme for the rest of the league. We're right there with them, except we've added 3 SB losses to the tally. The sad part is you ppl celebrate those 3 losses like it was a huge accomplishment. Why ? Because 31 other teams didn't have the HONOR of LOSING 3 Super Bowls like we did. What nonsense

And after having the audacity of firing 2 super Bowl head coaches where did that land the 49ers? ZERO super bowls. It led to what was the beginning of the dark ages of the 49ers as well

Eddie D did some great things in the 80's and 90s and i'm forever grateful. If he would have kept Seifert as head coach we might have got another one. But he thought coaches are easily replaceable, like some of you, and rolled with the next guy. Then next guy.

Jed make that mistake himself with Harbs. But i think he's figured it out.
Jed figured out harbs wasn't the guy

Jed is a CLOWN Show along with Denise and John. What does he know? I haven't seen the Yorks win anything in 24 years. Almost a quarter century and NOTHING. Harbaugh > Shany. He just has an eccentric personality that Jed didn't like.

Jed is pretty good. if you listen to his calls with the draft picks, that's one of the highlights of the offseason. they can be pretty awkward but he never fails to try and welcome new guys to the squad. he doesn't run from it. meanwhile, i think he fixed his bald spot. he set a pretty strong standard (super bowls), now it's up to the players and coaches to live up to it, if they simply do so, we are champs many times over. just waiting on that to happen. it's on the players and coaches now.

Jed learned his lesson it seems and i have no complaints since he has hired Shanny.

Harbs brand of football is outdated. Him hiring Greg Roman a 2nd time s everything you need to know. i remember us fans begging for him to get a new OC but he stuck with Roman and we had a mid offense the entire time. Roman couldnt even do anything with Lamar Jackson.

Unlike some ego maniac owners. Jed and his parents let John and Kyle run things. Actually it's Jed since his parents only provide the money. Ownership needs to have confidence in their GM and coach. They shouldn't be meddling in the on field stuff.

Shanahan - 2 SB appearances, 4 NFCCG appearances
Harbaugh - 1 SB appearance, 3 NFCCG appearances

2 > 1
4 > 3

Therefore, Shanahan > Harbaugh

Pretty simple

Harbaugh won the Championship TWICE. USD Torreros and Michigan. Shany has NEVER won anything. NEVER. Never been a Champion. Just participation trophy. Further Harbaugh went to the Super Bowl and NFC Championship games with KRAP and Al_EXCUSES. Shany has a super team and still can't get it done. Still not enough.

Stop trolling.

Bringing up non-NFL championships? LMAO.

Urban Meyer has won three college championships. Do you also think Meyer is a better NFL HC than Harbaugh or Shanahan?

Substitute Harbaugh for shannahan with last years team. No way he doesn't get it done. Shannahan can't get it done with last years team? He ain't ever getting it done. Shannahan needs everything to go perfect and last year was as close as you could get to that and he still failed. He'll eventually get fired from here. He'll go somewhere else and he will just become another joe blow coach. He's good. He might get you to the cusp, but in the end, he's just another coach who didn't know how to get it done when it was right there in front of you. It is what it is.

That's it. You got it. With this super team Harbaugh puts 3 trophies in the case. They are ours instead of the Chiefs. Shanahan can't get it done even with perfect. Even a super team and almost all healthy at the key positions. He had a perfect run of health by comparison to the other teams. Still couldn't get it done. He will never have that perfect again and thus will likely not win.
Things were hardly "perfect" in past year's playoffs. Also, I find the lack of evidence for Harbaugh "getting it done" on the NFL level lacking.

And yes, I will be posting this as a response to every nonsense troll post you make that I come across going forward, so get used to it.

I understand pretty much all of what i read here. Its cope. Most would rather cope than admit that your teams probably never gonna get it done with coach shanny. And you can't even legitimately say "hey, maybe we'll get lucky somehow and he can get it done". Nope. Last year was that year, and he still crapped the bed. Our best chance will be when shanny is gone and we have a chance to get someone who can close out that game when the opportunity presents itself again. And yeah, theres always the chance that the FO f's it up and gets the wrong guy. Thats sports. We just gotta hope that we eventually find that guy who can actually get it done.

Yes I agree completely.

EddieD held the coaches and players accountable. He maxed out Bill Walsh, forced him out when the time was right, then went on to win 2 more rings with Seifert. Maxed him out, the moved on to Mariucci who got the team in the NFCC game in his first year. If Eddie had been around after that time, I have no doubt the team would have carried out its success.

fast forward to today. A half assed owner focusing on revenue. Jed is ok with Kyle's mediocrity bc it sells tickets. Hoards of millennials and gen Z just happy to make it to the playoffs will dish out thousands of dollars, then be willing to do it over again the following year. "Superbowls aren't easy" they'll claim. "We tried our best" they'll argue. " Without Kyle it'll be 2000s all over again" they'll shout.

I miss EddieD. This franchise is a shell of what it once was

What other coaches do have in mind to replace Kyle? I'm more than half the teams would love for us to fire Kyle. He would be hired the next day.
