Hopefully the next team that hires Shanahan as their coach is smart enough to not give him final say on the 90 man roster. He needs a strong GM that handles personnel for him and is able to tell him NO when he wants to trade 2 first round picks for the next CJ Beathard.
It sickens me that we're going to be the team that suffers from all of his mistakes that he then learns from and corrects at his next stop and wins a bunch of Super Bowls
You done?
Is Shanahan? How many coaches get to f**k up as much as he has and keep their job? 3 losing seasons in 4 years! 2 complete f**k ups with top 3 picks!
I submit that Nick Bosa is not a f&#@ up.
Also 1 of those losing seasons was his first year with a roster that was complete garbage. The other was a season with an unprecedented level of injuries.
The other season? Super Bowl. So one could argue that his only season with a healthy roster of his choosing resulted in a narrow super bowl loss.
I think he's earned the benefit of the doubt.
A roster full of injury prone guys he drafted and/or signed. I like Kyle, he's the best coach we've had since Mooch, but he's not beyond criticism. I remember when the Rollin' with Nolan crew gave him excuses for everything, refused to believe he wasnt a great coach.
Just keep an open mind and try to see things without bias.
There's also gotta be context though. Like with his big draft misses still realizing he offset some of those mistakes with big hits in the later rounds. That 1st draft was really bad but in the end... Kittle, so it eases allot of the pain.
But the injury prone stuff is so hard to knock him for. If the talent is there you kind of have to take the risk and grab it, like Bosa. Or would you rather not have Kittle anymore? Ford had an injury past but just seemed to get healthy before signing here... at the time the risk/reward seemed worth it. A healthy Ford & Bosa is good for at least a couple wins on their own. But it didnt work out. Verrett was low risk and actually panned out last season... too bad it was a sunk season so people arent going to look at it as much of a success. A big miss and then a small hit.. but at the time they both seemed worth the risk.
It hasnt all been negative and for two guys learning on the job and showing they are becoming more flexible, they have still been doing better than the majority of the league. Not to mention any niner FO in a very long time. Hold them accountable but keep in mind some of the stuff that can get overlooked when focusing on negatives.
