49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

Drafting exotic pass plays but yet CMC leads the team in receiving?

Yeah Jennings is inconsistent… bc he's f**king hurt and out.

wtf are you even b***hing about? We just won a game we had no business winning and yet here you are b***hing.

Kyle's haters can't even enjoy a win. LOL

5 mins after the game you got guys saying McVay is a better coach even after Kyle coaches us to our most improbable regular season win in years. McVay is 6-11 against the Niners, just lost to their B team, but is somehow STILL the better coach. It's crazy to me how some of our fans can't appreciate how good of a coach Kyle is even when they just watched the evidence for 3 f**king hours.

It's all good though. Some people just enjoy misery.

Just rewatched that last possession in the 4th quarter. Did Kyle actually call a QB sneak on first down from the one ?! Talk about give up mentality 😂

Last night was all coaching. On offense and defense.

They got guys allover the field that have no business getting that many snaps....and somehow this coaching staff pulled off the win.

He's not. The players are.

Who puts the players out there?

Yeah, he put his 2nd string out there because of injuries and STILL won the game. Made Garappolo look like a starting QB, resurrected Darnold's career, now doing the same with Mac. If he were to leave, teams would fire their HCs just for a chance to land him.

He also let Jordan Mason rot on the bench and left McGlinchey on the field when the dude couldn't block for s**t. He has never made the OL a top priority and he has never once learned from his mistakes. Literally lost every Super Bowl he's been in from the same exact mistakes.

Players have won games despite him and his bipolar tendencies. You're talking about a guy that's a coach and didn't know the overtime rules in the Super Bowl…..

It's been 10 years and he still hasn't learned how to change his approach and fix the things that have lost him the biggest games. What about the injuries? Whatever the training process or practice process has been, this team has EASILY lost more players (and star players) to injury than any other. You would think something inside the organization would change to help change that.

What about draft picks? How many endless draft picks have been wasted on position players that either didn't make the team or never got on the field to contribute? Waste picks on players that you don't even let play…..yet when you have superstar players at almost every position across your offense, you STILL can't get the job done.

I'm not saying he hasn't been a great coach and that he's never gonna win a championship, I'm just saying he better start making changes to his approach and he better start prioritizing the positions he never has.

Yeah he shoulda called a shot play to MVS. Cause that's what winners do. Well last night the winner calls the safe play and calls a qb sneak. But sure you know more than Kyle

Spin all you want but that play proves he had no interest going for the kill. Played not to lose instead of playing for the win. It's why he's SB-less even after a decade.

Oh yes you are. Clearly. At least own your point of view.

While Kyle continues to fight it appears you are the party that has the "give up mentality."

It worked . He killed their 3 timeouts and prevented a TO / safety .

A QB sneak when on your own 1 in order to give your offense a yard or two to work with on 2nd down is rather standard good coaching. If someone's complaining about that they're clearly in the "I just want to try something different because I'm bored of the current" phase of a long tenured HC.

I guarantee Walsh, Belichick, Ried, Parcells etc. have all made that call plenty of times.

Great game by him, but I said it last night.... After that fumble he did three bs runs because he did not trust his o-line with Mac in the end zone. If he had any faith in the line he would have gone for a first down there.

You would think you'd be avoiding this thread like the plague given your track record in it...imagine coming in here and that's your takeaway.

Cuz i'm sure had Kyle drawn up a pass play and it resulted in a safety or incompletion to stop the clock you wouldn't be in here saying what an idiot Kyle is for not trying to run the clock out.

that is highly plausible...

The 49ers were also burning timeouts last night because people could not line up in the right spots... I think they only had 1 maybe 2 time outs left by that point.

A "thinker" is going to weight the upside vs downside.

Lot's of bad things could have happened if a mistake ridden team made a mistake in that situation, and they had very few ways to stop the clock and get another chance on offense in that situation.

Nah...they had to make the Rams use their timeouts, and they had few timeouts to risk overcoming a safety.... they really really need to negate giving up a sack or a hold in the endzone.

All coaches callplays based on what the opposing defense is doing. Sometimes they guess right and sometimes the defense changes up before the snap and the play doesn't work. Last night most of the short pass plays Kyle was calling were working. The running plays weren't since the blocking is still bad. CMC rarely got more than 2 or 3 steps before the defense was on him.

McVay calling a run on 4th down at the one in OT didn't work. He admitted after the game that it was a bad decision but obviously he felt they could pound it in when he called the play. If he had called a quick pass and it didn't work then Rams fans woud have been saying he should have just run it. That retro active play calling always works.

Can't ban people because they don't agree with your takes. That's not how the rules work around here.
