Yep sounds like a done deal unfortunately.

Probably interim until KJ has enough experience under his belt. Not a bad plan if Gus performs.
That's a very big if though.

A whole season is not interim. If he is subpar then that is a season wasted.

Or worse. Kyle making Gus the defensive coordinator would be the Mike Shanahan move and that's not a compliment.

Mike got canned in Denver because he went through a revolving door of defensive coordinators, most extremely subpar and because he wouldn't let go of personnel power. Then as if to prove that he learned absolutely nothing from it, he went to Washington and hired Jim Haslett, the Gus Bradley of his era, as DC.

If hes unwilling to learn from his mistakes or simply to stubborn to change, it'll be deserved unfortunately.

He'll be right if they just do the bare minimum and give Gus Bradley the job.

Trade Mac for picks and send some capital to Cleveland for Schwartz. Go get our Spags. Profit in two years.

Im good with gus Bradley. Obviously this was the plan the whole time. They knew saleh's time was limited. Gus is a good DC. He can run our system. Kj isnt ready yet. Demeco was here way longer before he became DC. Kj just started his coaching career not long ago

After 9 seasons you still think he is going to change?

I have doubts about our system. I'd be open to exiting the wide nine in favor of something else. I hope Kyle watched our lack of pass rush and is reevaluating things.

Then his days as the 49ers HC will be numbered.

Keep Wide 9 and get a secondary and secondary coach that will take away the ball. I don't believe in the Safeties on the team.

Bradley hasn't been a good DC since his days in Seattle. That was a long time ago.
