Coach4Life Kyle just didn't let Wilks run HIS defense.

As much as the Walsh era? No way let's stop here. We can praise Shanahan for all the big wins and getting this team close to the finish line. But at the end of his tenure here if there's still no rings then no we shouldn't relish this era as much as Walsh or even the Seifert era. Those coaches got it done when they were in it. Hoisting the Lombardi is the ultimate accomplishment not getting close over and over again.

Walsh set a standard that is incredibly tough to match or even come close to but reality is he also had some benefits that helped him out that Shanahan doesn't share just cuz of the state of the NFL now.

Benefits Bill had:
No salary cap. No worries about keeping talent around your franchise QB. Hell, no worries about keeping two HOF QBs on the roster at the same time. Have to wonder where Shanahan would be right now if we could keep all our top players and pay them whatever without the cap being an issue.

No strict rules about offseason workouts and practices. Bill was a great teacher as a coach. His scheme and his ability to explain the game to the players was key in us being such a great team. It also probably helped guys avoid injuries. Shanahan doesn't have the same ability. Developing players is that much tougher as a result because coaches just can't get to their guys as much as they would prefer.

Bob McKittrick - you can put this on Shanahan but only a few of those types of OL coaches out there. Felt like Bob could turn chicken salad out of chicken sh*t on the regular.

Heck even the defensive rules back then made it easier for an offensive minded HC. He could scheme up things on offense and take advantage of the other teams defenses but our guys could also lay the hammer on people and get physical with them which was a big advantage vs teams with lesser offensive playcallers.

I also bring up the fact that had Shanahan got to play with the rules that Bill got, he's at least 1-1 in SBs right now cuz we win that last SB in OT.

But all we can hope for is that when Shanahan leaves the 49ers(hopefully by his choice) that he's got several SB rings to show for his time here. And IF that happens he would certainly belong in considerations along with Walsh but obviously he's not there right now.

Are you seriously implying that winning Super Bowls was "easier" back then?!

Walsh drafts Joe Montana.
Walsh trades for Steve Young.
Walsh puts together a SB team then goes on to win 3 SBs with it.

genus's reply ? "Yea, very similar to the success Shanahan has had here". His reasoning ? The Walsh era 49ers played in an era when it was easy to win SBs.

can't wait to hear his take on Alex Smith being as good as Joe Montana because Joe had a HOF coach and played in an era where offenses could flourish more

I'd pay good money to get into these convos... like teppanyaki

Fire Kyle and keep Saleh. This offense has carried the team once during his tenure. I'm over it. His oline philosophy will never change. He refuses to play his young talent on offense. We are the slowest offense in the league and we still trot our Kendrick borne 🙄. Over it

You don't fire shanny. There's a bunch of nuthuggers that still think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Keep Saleh and trade shanahan for 2 firsts and 2 seconds and use it to rebuild the offensive line. Spend like first 5 picks on olinemen and let Saleh coach the team.

Kyle might be the worst coach I've ever seen when it comes to playing from behind

Kyle has done an amazing job so far this year if you take the injuries into consideration. We have been decimated with injuries including our Star QB and WR core and top 2 defensive players. I'm not sure anyone could have done better

If my trainer repeatedly tells me to lift wrong and I get injured because of the way I lift is it just bad luck I got injured?

Kyle has the most games missed of any NFL team during his regime.

Your telling me it's just random luck.

I disagree. His scheme of practice, his scheme during the games is prone to cause more injuries. Any scheme with excessive motions and zone blocking is going to cause the offense to run more in the game than a traditional scheme.

He has a significant hand in picking the players he's drafting and the amount of physical effort required in the practices and the games...

He's part of the injury problem.

So who is doing better under the same circumstances as today?

With that said, I dont like how he plays from behind but this isn't the time to make an assessment on how he plays from behind. We have Dline that realistically isn't going to generate any kind of consistent rush. Solid but not our best at receiver group. Any good DB room will lock our guys up until we get reinforcements. And our Oline, well....that part is Kyle's fault.

Kyle had nothing to do with bosas injury or warmers injury.

Aaron Glenn 🤣

And why is now not the time to discuss how he coaches when behind. He's historically horrible at it. That was an ugly loss. Everything should be on the table for discussion.

I'm just tired of having to consistently look at Shanahan and his loser face every time someone goes down. We need some new life. He probably needs a fresh start somewhere also.

I'm tired of having a genius coach score 20 and 15 in back to back weeks and everyone in here tell me how much of an offensive genius he is.

I'm tired of watching how old this team is

I'm tired of watching him bench these rookie offensive draft picks..

I'm tired of the team over overpaying aging stars

I'm just tired of this franchise

You can pick a new team if you like.
