I haven’t read all 8 pages so sorry if it’s a repeat, but this seems like a pretty ballzy move by a head coach who had multiple players say in their post-game press conference they didn’t know the overtime rules, and displaying he didn’t get it either by receiving the ball to start overtime.  Not to mention a blocked extra point and turnover off a punt. Maybe they should have looked to the Special Teams Coordinator for a scapegoat.

There were signs throughout the season that they were not on the same page, so I’m not surprised. I think Shanahan wanted a different type of defense so the hire was a bit odd to begin with.

But the Super Bowl loss itself is all on Shanahan, his offense did not deliver, players not aware of overtime rules speak of issues with preparations etc. 

I feel bad for Wilks, but in the end I just don’t think the two of them were a good match.

Happy with Evero personally, though I wanted Wilks for HC.

I think the season Wilks spent as DC here was the least impressive. He didn’t outright suck but it was different. Less it seemed.

 Loved him as DB coach and think he did the job as HC, mostly. I haven’t really followed SF’s season but don’t find it shocking that this happened.

SF defense is the most talented defensive roster in the NFL.

Wilks performed ok with them but it was clear him and Shannahan weren't on the same page with his playcalling.   Wilks is notorious for that soft zone as other poster brought up.  Makes no sense with such a talented roster.

 

He should go back to being a DB coach/Associate Head Coach.  His strengths are not scheming and defensive play calling.

This is what Shanahan said in his press conference. They want to go in a different direction with defensive scheme. Said he went back and watched the whole season.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
