Wow, Steve Wilks just released in SF

[Wolfcop]

Maybe we could hire him as DB coach or assistant ST coach.

This, this, this - cover 0 cloud which Mahomey took advantage of a couple of time.  Even when he was with Ron they would go to that soft azz zone and try to just keep the lead.  Rivera and Wilks are two peas in a pod.

yep, going soft when the moments are critical.

The going soft debate here is interesting.

1. Rivera is responsible but not McDermott

2. Wilks is responsible but not Shanahan

Gotta pay attention to tendencies. Has McDermott done it a lot in Buffalo? I honestly don’t know, but it was a problem during Ron’s entire tenure. Wilkes was the same way both times as DC here, during his interim HC time, and as DC in SF. I dunno if he was that way in Arizona but you can see a pattern with Ron and Wilkes.

Rivera was the head coach when McDermott was the DC and despite Riverboat making McDermott play zone our defense was the best I can remember in this century with McDermott as DC.

Shanahan is the HC not the DC and as far as we know, he only called a timeout once to tell Wilks not to play cover 0.

Yep. It's the HC responsibility to make these decision. People like McDermott and Shanahan so they will view the situation based on that and not who actually is in charge

What about him going prevent and then Shanahan calling a time out to stop that crap?

That's the HC job to decide

I think it's funny that Purdy is ONLY good because of his team, but Wilks is a great D coach despite his stacked as fug D.

You again aren't wrong but I can definitely see why he chose to fire Wilks. That unit honestly under performed for most of the year and the defensive play calling during that GW drive will probably haunt them for awhile. It was pretty bad.

Their production was identical to last year. Talking about yards being withing 5 a game and points within 1 with more sacks.

McDermott is still a zone guy and always has been. That is his lineage. Both him and Rivera were under Jim Johnson who was well know for his zone coverage defense. So was McDermotts first DC Leslie Frazier (well known zone guy) and now Babich (who followed from Carolina) the current Bills DC

Wilks lost me when he let Mike Evans single handedly beat us in a game with the playoffs on the line. Dinosaur.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

He was a huge step back from DeMeco Ryans for the 49ers and their fans hated this guy. Wonder where he ends up next.

SF gave up the 4th fewest points in the NFL last season. If not for a ST mistake on punt return KC would not have scored so easy to get the game back close... SMH
