Re: 2024 Offseason Thread

Nobody said he was struggling lol.

I’m saying the threat sounds good to say out loud but in reality, he’s not going to do it. Players love to play the “I’ll sit out/wont go there” card and more times than not, it rarely works in their favor. He doesn’t have it in him to do it anyway.

Yeah, it used to be an empty threat because the guy would have to play another year for free in college and first round contracts were astronimical. But that's not the case any more. With NIL and the rookie cap, a guy like Williams can afford the risk. It's not like even a devastating injury is a risk, Tua still went 5th overall. It's happened before, Andrew Luck comes to mind. Notably in the first year of the rookie cap.

Re: 2024 Offseason Thread

Like Shanahan said, he just wasn't a great fit. I never felt like he called a game to maximize our strengths and was insanely slow to adjust in game. Now just need the Jets to fire Saleh so he can come back. At this point I'm curious where SF goes at DC as there isn't much out there, watch Vrabel will come over as DC.

Re: 2024 Offseason Thread

Come up short of winning a SB again and eventually there won’t be anyone left to fire except….

That’s the way business works in the NFL.

Hopefully Wilks can land back on his feet with another gig.

Re: 2024 Offseason Thread

Fired a D coordinator cause the offense didn't put up more points? Guy had that D holding them down.

There's always a fallman

They were a few offensive or special teams plays away from winning

Sucks for Wilks, especially since all the DC jobs are taken and a lot of defensive staffs set. But, I can see him getting a Senior Defensive coaching job

Like I've posted in the super bowl thread. They held KC several times during the game. What crazy you can't encapsulate his OT calls for an entire season of work. I agree with his OT game plan ****ING sucked. Quarter? Seriously!! I still don't understand the thought process of doing that 3 plays in a row.

But like Pack said this is probably Kyle last chance because he's next. That side of the ball had more short comings in my opinion than the offense. chrome_9V9KzQ5lzL.jpgchrome_D3p9tB2RLV.jpg

Re: 2024 Offseason Thread

LOL, Kyle isn't going anywhere any time soon.

If you watched the 49ers this year, it was obvious Wilks just wasn't a good fit. I wish him well. Still think the Panthers should have given him a shot at being the full time head coach.

Re: 2024 Offseason Thread

Yeah, I don't see how Kyle is next (even if it makes logical sense). If 49ers don't want him send him to the Giants.

Nobody said he’s getting fired no time soon and that’s not what my post insinuated either.

I’m saying we all know how this league operates and how it treats you when you win a bunch of games every year but don’t win the ultimate prize because that’s what Owners want.

Only exception to that rule in this century was Andy Reid in Philly.

Yeah, he’s definitely had an…interesting last 5-6 years.

Yeah, Wilks has had some tough breaks.

Only was given one year in Arizona with Josh Rosen. Then Arizona wanted to pair Kyler Murray with the 'hot name' in Kingsbury. Then with Carolina, they had a solid finish with him as a interim coach. Then they opted for a bigger retread name in Reich. Even if it wasn't the best fit with the 49ers, it's still not a good look. If they would've won, would they still fire him. It would've been one thing if they would've gave up 30+ points. But the defense did its job for most of the game

Re: 2024 Offseason Thread

Gotta love this time of year, Tomlin is supposedly going to have QB competition for Pickett, and so far the names I have seen mentioned are...

1-Tannehill- Familiar with Smith's offense.
2-Fields- Tomlin really likes him..but have also seen him linked to the Falcons and possibly Patriots.

I just seen this one, and it's a QB in the draft..

3-Bo Nix- Not too familiar with Nix, but it was said he would come in and immediately compete for the starting job...this is per Field Yates from ESPN.

Those are the breaks. But man this looks terrible. I saw this post that summed it up.

Demeco Ryan gives up 31 points to Philadelphia and Jalen Hurts and loses 2 straight NFC championship games and doesn’t even make the Superbowl but gets a HC job. Saleh gives up 31 in SB HC job, Wilks 25 in 5 quarters against HOF coach and QB but it’s his fault.

And look how much of a mess it was in Arizona that year.

I’m not saying SF was wrong for firing him. Just saying that eventually there won’t be anyone else to blame if the results don’t change.

I look at Matt LaFleur, who’s now on DC #3(He fired the last 2 btw) and also someone who’s won 13 games, 3 years in a row with a HOF Qb and has nothing to show for it. This year, he would’ve been given a pass for not making the playoffs since it was a “transitional year” going from 12 to Love. Now that Love has balled out and showed he can AND got them to the playoffs in his first year as a starter, the pressure is back on LaFleur to get us a SB since it’s going on 14 years since the last one. If we don’t get one in the next 3 years, he won’t have to worry about picking another DC again.

I'm not sure I agree. As long as the Packers keep making the playoffs, winning playoff games, and winning division titles, I don't see Green Bay making any changes at head coach. That goes double now that Jordan Love appears to be a legitimate franchise quarterback.

This is the same organization which never went "all in" when they had a four-time NFL MVP at quarterback on their roster at the peak of his powers. We have plenty of evidence that the Packers aren't a team in the business of making organizational shake-ups just because they don't win the Super Bowl. They are similar to the Steelers in many ways.

I mean, hell, just looking at recent history, it took them about three years too long to fire Joe Barry.
