49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

Justin Smith and Aldon Smith were both injured going into the Super Bowl. Had they been healthy we probably win. If I remember correctly Justin had a torn arm. Not a good situation for the Super Bowl. Jim Harbaugh is a far superior coach. Look at his draft picks. National Championship in College Football. Kyle never won anything. He does more with less and turned the Chargers around right away.

1) Joe Alt - 6'8" 322 lbs. OT - build the TRENCHES - STUD
2) Ladd McConkey - 6'0" 185 lbs. WR - 4.39 speed - 82 - 1,149 yards - 14.0 average - 7 TD's as a rookie! STUD

He got there and immediately added STUDS to the roster. Difference makers. Look at our drafts the last several years. 2020 - 2024 for several years as example. Now look up the first 2 picks each year. You will either want to laugh or cry.

Torn arm 🙄

They played virtually every snap. Guess excuses for Harbaugh are fine? Armstead played on almost one leg last season. No Huf, Greenlaw went out early. Somehow you don't care. To the surprise of nobody here.

A college National Championship means nothing to me. Know who had 2 of them? Dennis Erickson.

I'm sorry but you are not a serious poster with logic like this. That is why people keep saying you're trolling. You've been posting here long enough that I know you're not a kid so as a grown adult no way you believe the stuff you say.

How can you possibly look at the first 2 I gave you. Then look at our first 2 picks for years and years. Then think Kyle is better at the draft than Coach Jim Harbaugh? It's just not possible to even believe that. Clearly Harbaugh is better. He's adding STUDS already and doesn't miss so much high up. They also had guys like Anthony Davis, Mike Iupati, Justin Smith, Aldon Smith (before he was drunk). That team valued and built the TRENCHES. I like that better about Harbaugh too. He values that. You can see with his new team too. Joe Alt was the pick. Lines matter to him. It did when he was with us too and we had very good lines. It's one reason we were so good.

Anthony Davis, Iupati and Justin Smith were already on the team when Harbaugh got there.

The very first Shanahan draft pick was on the trenches and his 2nd draft he selected McGlinchey at 9 overall…wow so different to Harbaugh taking the best OT in one of the best OT drafts in some time.

I'm old enough to remember when Harbaugh came in from Stanford and thought Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin weren't worth drafting when we had major needs at both spots. He did bring in Jonathan Martin…clearly that OL value you love from him.

Like I said…you are not serious with these takes.

Mc_FLINCHEY = BUST. Joe Alt = STUD. You don't see a difference in that? I see that as different. Drafting a huge stud who will hold down your line for 12 - 15 years is worth it. It's ok to pick #9 overall. I'm ok with that. But you got to hit the right one. Not get the wrong one. That's all I'm saying. Not disappointed that they tried and picked it. In fact I would hope they would pick that more often and higher. So I don't mind taking a shot. If I remember correctly the Guard was the big star (Quenton Nelson - Notre Dame - Colts 1 - 6 overall) and I think McGlinchey got a little overrated on that line and his draft status went too high. Probably was over drafted. Later became a decent player. Actually better on his new team. But maybe the years of experience helped that.

McGlinchey got a huge deal in FA and has been a starter and dominant run blocker since week 1 as a rookie. He just has some ugly pass pro at times but he's far from a bust.

You're digging yourself into a bigger hole. Go back and look at the OL drafts with the 49ers with Harbaugh and tell me how many OL they hit on given your own criteria that has McGlinchey as a bust.

I await your findings.

We should bring Jonathan Martin back

I agree he was ALWAYS a better run blocker. Worse at pass protection. He got better over the years and is decent now on his new team. Bust means his pass protection for US in his EARLY years. But he grew as a player over time. He is better now. Was always a good run blocker. Not as bad as claimed on this board. Never was a great pass blocker for us. I think he did get a bit overrated in the draft. Quenton Nelson 1 - 6 overall - Notre Dame - Colts was the big star. McGlinchey may have been slightly overrated having him also on his line. It's highly unusual to have a Guard go #6 overall. So maybe McGlinchey looked better than he really was (at Notre Dame coming out). Plus teams reach on Tackle. So it can happen.

But in no world is McGlinchey on par with Joe Alt. LOL. Joe Alt looks like he will be All Pro for 12 + years. His dad was a stud too. That's light years better. Not even in the same category IMO.

The big issue draft wise is that the 49ers made one awful trade in moving up for Trey Lance. That destroyed there pipeline for a few years and ultimately it's affecting where the team is now with holes everywhere and an aging, expensive roster. Kyle is a good coach, and Jim is a good coach. If I remember with Harbaugh the issue was that he had a shelf life with the players. It was time for him to move on. So, yeah, good coach but for how long? I do prefer Harbaugh TBH but you don't have the kind of success Kyle has without knowing your stuff either.

San Diego's draft last season was a home run, no doubt. SF's wasn't bad either, BTW.

And I'm sure had Joe Alt been available in 2018 then Kyle would've taken him. That's the crazy thing about the draft…it's not the same players every year.

I give up with you and I still don't trust that you legit believe the stuff you're posting.

Kyle already lost 50% of the locker room before the season started.
