my favorite argument is that a 2nd and 5 pass play with 3 minutes left in the superbowl that went for no gain was a brilliant play call. 
Nobody said it was brilliant. Just called you out for flat out making up something that didn't happen.
You came in b***hing how Kyle didn't milk the clock by dialing up those pass plays. I explained to you that you were full of it and the pass play to Kittle kept the clock moving - which was your big complaint.
I then said your point on the 3rd and 5 needing to be a run play instead of going for the 1st down conversion was incredibly stupid on top of it.
But go ahead and laugh, trust me the rest of us are doing the same at your post.
About 3-4 years ago I asked how many years are the shanahan fans going to give Kyle because we keep going through the same motions. Well here we are in year 9 with 0 superbowls. The team is in decline. The drafts have sucked. We are finally seeing the fallout from the lance debacle. We are at least two maybe three years away from possibly becoming a championship team.
but we are hanging onto shanahan and lynch because we are worried we are going to hire another tomsula.
Shanahan fans over the years have used their favorite argument "who would you hire instead?" I think this year proves that there are a s**t ton of coaches out there that can be successful. Vrabel, McDaniel, Payton, Johnson all hired recently.
it's tiring to see what this once great franchise has become.
Yes move those goal posts.
Ask yourself this...if your big points to knock Kyle are things you have to make up and didn't actually happen then maybe there is a reason most people don't want him gone?
This season has shown Kyle is the right guy for this team. But yes...I do have concerns about our drafting and roster building but all that said they managed to build this roster up from way worse than what it is now. Why exactly can't they do it again?
Making change just for changes sake isn't smart. There has to be a reason to change. This year to anyone rational is a reason to keep Kyle, not to get rid of him.
Let me ask a question. Why were the 49ers 12-5 this year and 6-11 last year? Was Kyle all of a sudden a better coach this year? Did he wake up and say I'm going to be better coach this year? No. He's the same coach.
the reasons why the record this year was better?
a 3rd place schedule vs a 1st place schedule.
a better backup qb.
saleh vs Sorensen
cmc healthy all year
those are the reasons. Kyle didn't just all of a sudden coach his ass off. If anything, he gets credit for bringing saleh back, but knowing he was only going to be here for a year actually hurt more.
