49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

Now we don't live in hypotheticals so Kyle hasn't won a SB but to me at least that's why I'm not going to grade every HC who won one over him.

Or if a corner just drops to the proper depth on a long 3rd down.

what a frustrating final sequence.

trent he said we are a super bowl caliber team cuz of kyle someone forward that to the good dr

"I came here a 10-year vet. I learned more just in that 30-minute team meeting we had with Kyle breaking down the next opponent, I learned more football in that time than I did the previous 10 years," Williams said on The Pivot podcast.

"The fact that he made us competitive, the fact that we believed that we could go win a Super Bowl, we literally believed. He made us believe. And it's not because of what we had in the locker room, but what we had in a coach."

"I think Jimmy G is awesome," Williams said. "I think he has proven that he's a quarterback that you can win with. In this league, it's just hard to find. Quarterback is the toughest position and I think that's why you see the contracts where they are. Having a quarterback that you know is going to make the right read, the right throw, I think that has to allow Kyle (Shanahan), you know, give him a chance to sleep at night because just having a guy you know who won't throw the game away for you. You put him in the best position possible. He'll win."

I would take anything Trent Williams says with a grain of salt…

Or if we run the ball more with a 10 point lead in the 4th and half a quarter left to play.

Charvarius Ward:

"Gameplan was to put the ball into Jimmy's [Garoppolo] hands. I hate to say this. I hate to say it. Our gameplan was to put the ball into Jimmy's hand. But Kyle Shanahan, he was just calling run after run. But for some reason in the 4th quarter they stopped running the ball and we kind of took over a little bit.

Nothing in there claims Jimmy G was a dominant QB. Everything he says in there is further kudos to Kyle and his system. Simply says Jimmy is good at executing the system and he helps the 49ers win, which he did.

I think it's hilarious that you keep clinging to things from years ago because recent history has continued to make your takes look even more foolish than before.

Foolish ? Did we win a Super Bowl that I forgot about ?

Once again this has been addressed. There were like 2 plays in the 4th quarter where you can logically claim should've been a run play instead of a pass.

They had just 1 drive that met the conditions YOU outlined. Here is how that drive went

1st and 10 at 49ers 20: 6 yard Run
2nd and 4: 12 yard pass
1st and 10: 1 yard run
2nd and 9: incomplete pass - Deebo open, high throw by Jimmy
3rd and 9: false start
3rd and 14: Jimmy G run on a scramble.

Chiefs scored their TD after the 3rd and 15 play the drive after. That was the only drive they had where they were up by 10 in the 4th quarter. We ended up running 3 times on that drive and one of the times we passed on 2nd down was a first down completion that moved the chains and the clock kept running.

I guess you think that simply running into loaded boxes was the way to go but the tape showed plenty of opportunities to move the ball and get first downs passing the ball if Jimmy can get the ball to his guys.

But we all know you can't be bothered to look that close into the game. Much easier to just regurgitate the same tired narratives since Kyle is busy making your takes look worse and worse every week.

Are you arguing with me ? Or the guy that was actually playing the game ? Ward is telling you that the Niners did exactly what the Chiefs wanted them to, and paid for it. This is a non argument.

Well your posts are basically parroting the same thing over and over again. So you tell me who I'm arguing with.

Ward said something without actually going back to check cuz they won the SB. I'm sure he doesn't care. You're the one who framed it a certain way and was wrong again and again. I can show you plenty of players misremembering things or saying things that are simply not true. Just because they're former or current players doesn't mean they're infallible.

Every day there is something new showing us why Shanahan is a great HC and yet you and a few others(getting fewer) holding out to this stupid take that Shanahan isn't a great HC.
