Can’t believe Elway blew that opportunity. It was the perfect fit especially after Kubiak. I doubt Kyle ever takes that job. He has so much more power in SF than he ever would have had under Elway.

Correct. I think people don't realize how much the niners gave in. His original contract, as a first time head coach, reportedly had no offset language (one of the reasons he's not going to go anywhere). He hired John Lynch, has control over the final roster, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he have the accrued capital with the fans, media and ownership to survive making that move and it resulting in a 5-12 season? Depends on the fan.

I wanted to roll with Trey from jump. if we were 2-4 with Trey instead of Jimmy right now, I honestly believe the fanbase wouldn't be going after him nearly as hard as they are right now. Just my opinion though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 49ers had a season like that with Lance starting every game, and not looking so hot you'd hear the same groaning in San Francisco that you're starting to hear in Chicago with Fields or New York with Wilson by some fans. "Trey isn't ready" or "Shanahan should have still gotten another veteran" or "Shanahan has one winning season in 5 years" or whatever to spin it a way that solicits blame while ignoring logic. Fans would understand in the offseason, and before the games actually started, but when the losses start to pile up after two or three weeks they'd start acting like savages. A lot of our fans in particular still had Super Bowl hopes with this roster. Edited October 27, 2021 by TecmoSuperJoe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Shanahan is the most overrated coach in the league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbnum3 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Yes, Very warm getting hotter every week. This is Shanahan team and it is a mess. To bad he will get a least another year to see how Trey Lance works out. Edited November 8, 2021 by jjbnum3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 John Lynch really had no business getting that job in the first place. Your first job in scouting shouldn’t be GM of an NFL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCena Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 It's hilarious to me how these two aren't on the hot seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJaxxenGuy Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 By performance of their team absolutely, however I think their contract was signed in blood when they traded away 3 firsts so I guess they get a bit longer to see that through 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 A lot of teams would love Shanahan as their HC/OC IMO. If they can improve their depth they should be good to go, especially if Lance is the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar988 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Kyle Shanahan is gonna look great on the Falcons sidelines as the OC again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His extension doesn't even kick in until after next year lol. Jed fired his shot and yikes. At this point he's just got to hope it turns around at some point. Also, no way in hell does he go back to being an OC. If the 49ers did fire him, someone is hiring him as HC. He'll get another shot, and he'll likely get it right away. NFL teams won't be able to help themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
