49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

Two of those guys either are currently or have been head coaches recently and Kubiak is probably next. Fleury being made an OC is more a compliment to Kyle and the offensive staff he put together than anything else.

A team that came out of nowhere to become a powerhouse thanks to some good drafts and suddenly had a lot of great, young and cheap players with a young and exciting coach.

The difference is that the Niners blew their chance of winning the Super Bowl that year.

The Seahawks might not win another Super Bowl in the next 5,8 or 10 years but they already won it.

We've already won FIVE!!!

Yeah but you have to be like 40 in order to have a memory of any of them. For 49ers fans that are 30 and younger, they may as well not even exist.

How do you think their fans will like it if they don't win another one for several years?

They will feel exactly as Monster posted in his last sentence. The last time we won the baby boomers were about my age and I'm Gen X

Interesting hire by the Seahawks, but I'm good here. Until Tonges this year, we haven't really seen much development in our TE room. Funny that people keep picking at our staff, free agents, and coaches.

Hopefully he'll be the OC version of Nick Sorensen, but of course we're not that lucky

I get the sentiment, but that's not how it works.

It's the same dumb attitude that ignores the pre-SB champions. "But the league was different then." And it wasn't different in 1970 vs. 1990 vs. 2010 vs. now? Those differences matter less because they are all in the SB era?

49ers are still 8 behind the Packers for championships, and the Seahawks are 11 behind the Packers.

Packers - 13
Bears - 9
Giants - 8
Steelers/Patriots - 6
49ers/Cowboys/Commanders/Eagles - 5
Rams/Browns/Lions/Chiefs/Colts - 4
Raiders/Broncos - 3
Ravens/Buccaneers/Seahawks/Dolphins/Cardinals - 2
Saints/Jets - 1
Chargers/Jaguars/Texans/Bills/Titans/Bengals/Vikings/Panthers/Falcons - 0

The Packers won their "championships" in a league with less than 15 teams. Four of them with around 10 teams. Five of those "championships" came because the team with the best record automatically made it to their version of the "Super Bowl".

So yeah, I think it's safe to say we can 'ignore' the pre-SB standards because there were no standards. You basically made the Super Bowl with the best regular season record, which if this was the case now I'm sure we'd have like 15-16 SB rings to boot.

Wooden rings/leather helmet era doesn't count.

Also, pre - York ownership era doesn't count for us specifically, lol.

Thems the rules.

The 49ers won most their championships in a league with 28 teams, only two rounds of playoffs, no free agency, no salary cap, and basically made the SB because of best regular season record.

Those don't count either. Only 2017 and later count. Every chamion before then is ancient and dumb.

Thems the rules because I say so.

People can draw the line wherever they arbitrarily choose. I happen to include all NFL seasons. Do you also discount all World Series champions before 1969? How about before 1995?

They all count in my book.

Maybe only champions from 17-game seasons with 14-playoff teams should count.

Chiefs - 2
Rams/Eagles/Seahawks - 1
Everyone else - 0

That's it. Every other prior champion was in ancient days under different rules.

It's a message board. "Relax" is always the default reality, even if people are cussing each other out.

4D chess yo azz crack you're excited over a LB coach and Kittles underling (Fleury)

They better get rich, they'll need to re-sign their expensive pieces or replace them in order to keep up with a healthy 49ers squad... of course, if the injury bug hits us again, any team can beat us

"4D chess" GTFOH with that nonsense

Bro can't decide if he wants to be a Rams fan or a Seahawks one!
