How about Steve Wilkes?

No one is blaming Wilks. He just didn’t perform some miracle nor does this make him a great HC candidate. He let his loaded DL do work and did drop back coverages. That worked great. KC just adjusted to it in the end. It is what it is. 

Yeah, I'm not stumping for Wilks as a HC but he's a good DC. Not elite, but good. I put significantly more blame on Shanny for that L than Wilks.

at this point Reid is just trolling DC’s

 

 you’d think Wilks would be prepared for this

Honestly, teams run the same basic concepts over and over again. They just throw in small tweaks to throw the D off. Slight formation variances, maybe a different guy in motion. It's the same concepts at the end of the day but just enough variations to disguise it. That's where Shula dropped the ball in SB50. He changed NOTHING so the Broncos basically knew our plays before the ball was snapped and said as much after the game.

Agreed

 

but this play was also at the most crucial time of the game like last year, not like it was run randomly in the second quarter

Some just like him because CMC plays for them.

Some are dug in on Purdy because they like his "Rudy" story of ascendance from a QB not in the usual physical mold who can show QB's like Lamar Jackson who don't actually deserve MVP how to play the position. Call it what it is.

What are we calling it?

Spag also called a great game and is a terrible HC. Being a good DC doesn’t make you a good HC. He mostly called drop back coverages and let his loaded front 4 handle the pressure. KC adjusted in the end and SF did not. That’s all part of it. 

I believe he’d actually make a better HC simply based off his leadership ability.

Always love it when folks reach for narratives to fit their biases. And it's usually both camps pointing at each other like the Spiderman meme.

Yeah I’m not sure what narrative I was trying to spin by saying some people admire humble athletes who have an underdog story. I’m not even a Purdy fan but his story is essentially Hollywood.

I really just don't understand folks blaming Wilks. They held KC to 19 points in regulation. The Niners didn't score enough points.

The mistake is only blaming one and not both.

Wilks did what he frequently does; got conservative in the latter part of the game and allowed the other team back in.

Shanahan called a poor game putting it on the back of Purdy rather than McCaffrey.

Hell, even special teams had miscues.

Nobody comes out of this looking like a hero.

Which, if we're honest, is pretty much vintage Wilks.

Didn’t Shanahan call a timeout to “overrule” Wilks on one play? At least that’s what I thought I heard Nantz say. But yeah, that last drive in OT was vintage Wilks and why I didn’t want him as HC. Great guy, aggressive scheme, but he doesn’t show up when the game is on the line. Kind of like, Ron.

    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
    • Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
