49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

Easy to say. Harder to find.

Cardinals won a NFL championship before all other teams in the NFC West even existed.

Also, everyone is still behind the Packers' 13 championships. NFL is 106 seasons old, not 60.

I know we get crap for bringing up our SB wins from 30+ years ago but I refuse to acknowledge NFL "Championships" that required just 1 playoff win to achieve and when there are only like 10-16 teams around.

I'll trust shanny to figure out that big nickel defense. He did it with legion of doom I'm pretty sure he can do it again.

It's about the personnel, not x and o's here.

Seattle has totally dominated the league in the last six weeks.

Unless they lose ringers, or we add ringers, then we will continue to get our bell rung.

It's incredible that macdonald and schneider put this together in 2 years.

New England didnt throw to emmanoworri once the entire game. Wow.

They got domination and a championship.

But we got orbit motion. Yeah baby.

They haven't put it together in 2 years. That's why people need to keep things in context. Macdonald did a HELL of a job putting his defense together and having them play unreal football as a unit BUT the following players were acquired before he ever stepped foot in that building.

Offense:
Charles Cross - starting LT
Abraham Lucas - starting RT
Anthony Bradford - starting RG
JSN - their best player on offense
Kenneth Walker - SB MVP
Zach Charbonnet - RB2 who led the team in TDs this season

Defense
Devon Witherspoon - their top corner
Derick Hall(2 sacks in SB)/Boye Mafe/Nwosu(pick 6 in SB) - edge rush depth
Coby Bryant - starting FS
Tariq Woolen - starting corner
Leonard Williams - starting DL
Jarran Reed - run stopping DT
Julian Love - starting SS

Yes they added more impact guys - Byron Murphy, Emmanwori and Erest Jones as well as Zabel after Macdonald came in but there was a lot of talent already on this roster and players acquired under Pete Carroll were used to add some of those players.

It's not cool to be mad at Shanny to some but lol nobody can say, "Hey, great call on 4th and 1 against SEA." Nobody can make excuses for it. Cause it's one of the worst things I have seen in football. Sorry lol but that was just a killer...and his time clock meltdown in 2020 and settling for an fg when Mahomes is ready full go on the other side lol. He has had good moments but until he knocks out the mental whatever the heck..not feeling the love like lots do.

I mean you brought up the 4th and 1 call a bunch times already. If you all you have settling for a FG and 4th and 1, and maybe a few other plays, then that's not too much. You're basically expecting perfection, and no coach is perfect.

It was a bad call. The one he did on the original 4th and 1 that was successful wasn't. Also no need for hyperbole. The call itself wasn't HORRIBLE and certainly not worth the "one of the worst things i've ever seen in football"

That play simply doesn't work given the personnel on the field but that's what we have. Kyle panicked because we just spent a pass play to pick up the first and it got messed up cuz of the late timeout call. He outsmarted himself but it was still there to pickup if our guys can take on their blocks properly. They couldnt...



McKivitz gets pushed back too much and both TEs whiff on their blocks but there is a path to a first down there if Juice pitches it to CMC and we don't get killed at the LOS. That play happens on the first drive of the game. I would imagine Kyle would understand we can't run on these guys with who we have out there and not made the same mistake later in the game.

I didn't like a lot of things Shanahan did during that game. That 4th and 1 call that we've never seen called before was idiotic. Continued to play Brendel at center when the running game was better with Hennessy. Not mixing up the run game sooner with Jordan James and Isaac Guerendo. So many things I didn't like that Shanahan and his coaching staff did or didn't do.

But to sit here and constantly complain and cry about Shanahan is what I'm not gonna do on here.

Yeah I don't understand taking that one play to crap all over Kyle, completely disregarding the coaching job he's done this year overall.
