49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

I disagree, i think outscoring our opponents is definitely a strategy to keep in place.

SB 54-People bring up the Sanders play. But...if he scores a TD, there is over a minute left. Would Kyle, knowing his D was gassed, tell them in advance to go down near the goal line if there is say 90 seconds or so left? But it should have never came to that. I watched the game and was annoyed they stopped running it when they were getting decent yardage on each carry. Unless your QB is elite, you don't allow them to go airing it out.

SB 58-I have a few issues. Not kicking to KC in OT. Doing so allows you to know what is needed on the next offensive possession. It's decreases the likelihood of them using all four downs. Some might say the D is gassed. Well, they were still gassed and it didn't make a difference when KC got the ball. I still believe they did not know that playoff OT differed from the regular season. I can guarantee you that Reid, McVay, Belichick all kick off there.

Looking more like McDermott's got a better chance this year at breaking the SB streak than shanahan.

The question is who will win a SB first or get fired first for going without one.

McDermott's team has yet to beat a team with at least two wins this season…

Kyle's gotta get some holy water up in this b***h! Maybe Jobu…we're in supernatural territory at this point with the injures.

He is a defensive HC whose defense has consistently been shredded in the postseason. Drafting and schemes are poor. He has a generational type QB and has not even been to a SB. Shanahan has at least been to two SB's. And they were certainly not of a Josh Allen caliber.

I believe Buffalo gets a new HC (fires him) after this season. And they win one within three years.

So...McDermott gets fired first. But Buffalo wins a SB first. Shanahan is here for at least three more years. Unless, they go 0-17 or 1-16. Something crazy and unrealistic.

So...McDermott gets fired first for not winning one to answer your question.

*Raises hand*. Isn't that sorta required?

I'm sorry. I didn't anything past that. A player in the GAME is telling you what their game plan was against Kyle Shanahan, and how Kyle played into what they wanted him to do by getting away from what was working. Your response ? His comments are useless.

It's the same vibe in here every season. There are some folks like us who say hey we like Kyle overall, but we also have these criticisms... and its like all or nothing in here with loving or hating him. There's no nuance

There ARE people who want Kyle fired though, and they are hilariously ridiculous. And clearly weren't here when Tomsula/Kelly were our coach.

The guy you're quoting is definitely one of these people, by the way.

My bad, I may be mixing up users. I don't really pay attention lol

You just watched him look at nuance in the face and swat it away like it's a bug annoying him.

There are legit criticisms with Kyle...like his reluctance on addressing our OL issues and some other things(this year he's improved on a bunch of those things)

These guys don't want nuance. They want to say he's a bad HC who will never win a SB. They have nothing of worth to go on...just that he hasn't yet so he never can.

This same poster just 2 pages ago was talking about Shanahan shelling up...now he's complaining Shanahan didn't run enough cuz Chiefs players said they wanted Jimmy to throw the ball.

See above!

Glad to see Kyle hasn't gone off the deep end when it comes to trading draft picks for players on other teams.

*Next man up*
