Yes sir...indeed.

Yea, I'm sure the players love Shanahan calling them out to the media.

I just love how honest and straight forward Kyle is. Here are two examples.

Kyle Shanahan on #49ers RB Joe Williams: "I expect him to turn up his urgency level this year. I've talked to him about that. He said he has. I'm looking forward to seeing it."https://t.co/J2SFyf5pNb

If Joe Williams pans out, he'll add tremendous depth to the RB situation. I'm also looking forward to it.

Me too.

They were big on him in the draft - I have faith in KS/JL

So he should just waffle, or say nothing, or praise players that don't measure up?

What's the benefit of telling people outside of the organization that you aren't happy with a player's performance? I can appreciate Shanalynch's transparency regarding most things, but I think there are times when things should be kept internally. You would never see Belichick discuss the personal conversations he had with his players to the press.

Honest evaluation is vital. Being nice and never pointing out the obvious is never successful in the long run. Over the past couple of decades we have seen the extremes, now it's time for some intelligent coaching.

Extremes:
Nolan--making fun of injured OL by rolling on the ground and crying in mockery.
Harbaugh--everyone is wonderful! Great! Just great!

Shanahan--just the facts mam.

He can honestly evaluate the players internally and meet with them without telling the press about what was said in those evaluations.

Love the interview, the dude is an awesome OC and hopefully he's going to be an awesome HC.

Points:

it's all about matchups. Same route, but if run by different people - Juszczyk vs Goodwin vs Kittle - it presents different match up problems for the defense, but the QB read is the same.

He'd love to have an Earl Campbell/Big bruiser RB first down guy that can over power the D LIne to get into the endzone, but those are rare players and he wants running backs that are good running backs. It's rare to have any NFL team overpower another NFL team, and what he's looking for is to open up holes so even if you have a big bruiser fullback, he's not going to be able to push the defenses around. NFL defenses are too good. You have to have a good running back that can spot the holes to run to, to gain yardage.

he's really impressed with Garnett and he really thinks he will do well this year.

he's aware that Suh is now on the rams, but he thinks we have more speed to deal with that. He thinks both Pierre and Marquis are going to present problems to defenses when they are *both* on the field.

I like how he is approaching the draft. He says you have to be a good enough coach to get a good player and design schemes and plays to make him better.

Only about a quarter through the interview, and I'm impressed how he says something but he's really not saying something. Like he was asked when is a short pass like a run. He mentions bubble screens, wr screens, and so on, but rarely ever mentions RB plays or McKinnon. I like how he hides the ball in plain sight like that.

I really liked his insight into Bourne. How he was an UDFA, missed a lot of time early on, didn't come from a pro style system in college, missed meetings early on...good stuff
