first Moony Ward said Kyle screwed up the gameplan in the SB vs KC, and everyone boo-hooed it like he didn't what he was talking about. Now one of his former players calls him out, and a pretty accurate take imo.

Yeah, that's the funny thing though all of his Niner teams haven't started fast every single year except for when a bunch of guys were injured. That's a totally incorrect statement. He's talking out of his ass. One year they got to the NFC championship when they started the season like absolute dog s**t.
It's also wildly incorrect that Shanny is overthinking things and not trusting his players is what lost the SBs. If anything, the opposite is true: he trusted his players to not have turnovers, but they did. He trusted his players to follow the play as designed, but one guy going rogue blows up a potential TD. Players play, coaches coach. Anyone who watches SF games knows Shanny understands his role.
