1) He inherited a Wade Phillips defense, with most likely the same assistant coaches

You keep bringing this up but why did Wade never have a Top 10 defense with mostly the same personnel?

The defense under Staley performed way better than it did under Wade or Raheem Morris.

I think Staley is probably a very bright coach that is great with X's and O's but isn't a strong leader that can command a whole locker room and handle all the myriad of responsibilities that a HC has to take care of.

I don't think it'll be with the 49ers but I have zero trouble seeing him ending up as a defensive coordinator somewhere in the NFL next season.

Sorensen would be an awful hire for special teams. He's just not experienced enough. Make him a Co defensive backs coach if you have to, but it would be a horrific mistake to settle for him as STC when there are monster upgrades available out there.

Sorensen front runner for ST coach per barrows talk about underwhelming

saleh and sorensen so the bros are the candidates. some say think outside the box. we think inside the box. not necessarily bad options but certainly guys we are comfortable with.

With Nick Sorensen emerging as a candidate for the #49ers' special teams coordinator role, let's take a look at his lone season as a ST coordinator with the Jaguars in 2021.
Under Sorensen, JAX finished dead last in special teams that year, losing 32 expected points. https://t.co/8hyRCKGHAm pic.twitter.com/zspXwZjoZV

wouldn't be a bad option if he had good credentials as a ST…if they hire him it shows Kyle doesn't a give f**k about STs still

If Saleh is the DC it's probably one of the best DC candidates available this yr

After having one of the worst STs in the NFL that cost SF at the very least 3 games…you can't possibly feel like that's the answer.

C'mon Shanahan stop with the buddy buddy s**t and make him a coach somewhere in the secondary. Time to assemble the best coaching staff you could have. No f**king around this year, the Super Bowl is in the Bay!!!!
