49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Thread

The new 49ers dynasty is about to begin and we'll be taking a similar route as the first one

Jim Harbaughs 2011-13= Dick Nolans 1970-72. We made the playoffs in three seasons but fell bitterly short every time

Mid 2010s= mid/late 70s Niners. We're one of the worst teams in the league,switching head coaches every year

Now we have our guys! Kyle Shanahan(Bill Walsh) and Jimmy Garoppolo(Joe Montana) and they're about to take the NFL by storm and take us to the promise land

He didn't really. His understanding of defenses is what is getting him by. He said on a few occasions, he forgets the play when he gets under center but knows what at least one WR is running so he throws to that guy no matter what. But the good thing is that he is also able to move the defense to setup his throws better.

And his throwing talent is also allowing him to read and then throw into tighter windows.

Holy smokes if this is true. We haven't seen his true power yet.

These parallels from the past (the 6-10 records as well) are scaring me.........

In a good way.

I can't wait to see 2018. Kyle has a year as a HC under his belt. He will have a core on offense that understand his system, we will upgrade some key positions, and we have a QB to run the game plan, and that can function at a high level if things aren't perfect. Our defense will be playing in the same system for two years in a row under the sane coordinator with a few upgrades. Something to truly look forward to.

$10M+ for a HC is insane. Every owner in the entire NFL now hate the Raiders.

Here's a reference for how nuts that contract is:

Pete Carroll, Seattle Seahawks
$8+ million/year
Carroll signed a contract extension following the Seahawks' Super Bowl win in 2014 that will keep him with the team through the 2016 season. The extension came with a pay raise that reportedly bumped his annual salary to over $8 million a year.

Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
$8 million/year
Payton was formerly the NFL's highest-paid coach when he signed a five-year contract extension in 2012.

Bill Belichick, New England Patriots
$7.5 million/year
Belichick - four-time Super Bowl champion - was once the highest paid coach in America.

Andy Reid, Kansas City
$7.5 million/year
Reid, who was making $5.5 million annually with the Eagles before he was let go, picked up a nice pay raise when he signed a five-year, $37.5 million deal to become Kansas City's coach in 2013.

John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens
$7 million/year
Harbaugh, like Carroll above, earned a multiyear contract extension in 2013 after winning a Super Bowl. That contract extension included a $3 million/year pay increase.

Jeff Fisher, Los Angeles Rams
$7 million/year
Fisher is entering the final year of a five-year, $35 million contract signed with the Rams - who will relocate to Los Angeles in 2016 - and has yet to post a winning season (27-36) in four years with St. Louis.

Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys
$6 million/year
Garrett, who has gone 45-43 since taking over the Cowboys in 2010, signed a five-year extension worth $30 million last January.

Bruce Arians, Arizona Cardinals
$6 million/year
Arians earned a four-year contract extension (through 2018) and a raise (up to $6 million per year) last January.

Mike McCarthy, Green Bay Packers
Estimated $6 million/year
The Packers signed McCarthy to a multiyear extension in 2014, believed to run through 2018 with an annual salary of $6 million per year.

Chip Kelly, San Francisco 49ers
$6 million/year
Kelly, who left Eugene for Philadelphia and a five-year contract worth $32.5 million in 2013, signed a four-year deal worth $24 million with San Francisco. Had Kelly sat out the final two years left on that deal, the Eagles would have had to pay him the remaining $13 million, reports ProFootballTalk.com: "Now, he'll still make $13 million. But $12 million will come from the 49ers, and the extra $1 million will come from [Philadelphia]."

lol, I find myself in the odd situation where I want to pump my own breaks on Shanny. He is the son of the man who birthed my personal favorite version of the 49ers west coast offense, and I really want him to do well.

It gets me to thinking, is this why people defended Mike Nolan for so much of his tenure? Was it me being born in the 70s and missing Mike's dad as coach?

How many people view Shanny though the lens of his father, versus the lens of what he has done in the NFL?

Nolan definitely helped build up the Harbaugh era roster.

Being his father's son helps. For me, it's the fact that he he grew up in the West Coast offense, himself played wide receiver, and has demonstrated that he is able to make decent players outstanding and win. it's huge, also, that he has his father as a resource.

He stands on his own merits to me. Personally, I value yard acquisition in a playcaller. I do so, because usually the ability to gain yards leads to the ability to but up points when this sort of system has been fully installed and the QB position has been settled or playing at a high level. Currently, Kyle's resume shows in the 10 years he's called plays his offense have been in the top 10 six times and of those the top 5 four times.

Now with Jimmy at the helm, this would have made that seven times and five times in the top 5. We also, seen with Jimmy running the offense it wasn't just yards it was points as well. Would have been top 5, more specifically number 2.

Walsh, Holmgren and Elder Shanny are my 3 favorite offensive minds. I though, view Kyle as his own man and if he keeps this up, I'm gonna have to add a fourth to my favorite offensive minds.

It does have that glory days feel to it. the front office and coaching staff were all united . The current difference is, that there was always a great deal of tension between Debartolo and the coaching staff . Right now, at least publicly, New York is on the down low.

Kyle Shanahan met with Bill Belichick to learn from his Super Bowl mistakes

"At the combine this past February, Kyle, weeks into the 49ers job after being the offensive coordinator for the Falcons, met with Belichick for hours to learn from his team's humiliating Super Bowl loss," Wickersham wrote.

Shanahan received a lot of criticism for his aggressive play calling during the second half of the game when a more conservative approach almost certainly would have ensured an Atlanta Falcons victory over New England.

"We played that game how we played the entire year and I thought I called plays in that game the way I had the entire year," Shanahan said back in February of last year. "Doesn't mean I'm always right ... I can deal with it because I can look at myself in the mirror and know I did what I thought was right at the time and that was the most important thing to me."

Sucks for the falcons they trusted him and gave full authority to call the proper plays but instead he choked in epic fashion.

The defense choked in epic fashion that allowed Brady to come back from an overwhelming deficit. Shanahan was the offensive Cordinator. Shanahan played aggressive, and you have to play aggressive against Brady.
