Well, saw this one coming from a mile away, but Steve Wilks, recently of the booth, and pushed to the field, was pushed out the door. The defense, which was 100 shades of inconsistent this year, ultimately fell way short of expectations since the last 2 DCs did a much better job with less talent.
Granted, the defense did pretty damn well in this last Super fuckup until it really mattered, but there was no late stop on 4th down to end the game. There was no 3rd down sack to put KC behind the eight ball. Instead, Shanny was outmaneuvered by his own hubris and 2 huge mistakes to seal the deal.
That being said, the team is in good shape for the next couple years with most of the important guys signed to contracts. The only 2 that will be hard to keep are Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings. But Purdy is on his rookie deal, so he’s the bargain of the century,
Not ready to start worrying about the draft yet, but it will be a thing. soon enough At some point this team needs to get a TE that can produce, more O line depth, and a replacement for Dre Greenlaw. Corner depth would be nice as well.
I guess the rest of the league will be happy that the 49ers won’t get a draft pick or 2 for hiring and firing Wilks.

Riverboat Ron I think would be perfect.

No way no how no fucking way should Staley be on the table. He’s a fucking nightmare.
Not that Cohn knows anything most of the time other than speculation but this scenario would definitely be OK with me –

I loved the way Ulbrich played. He played like Bowman but just didn’t quite have the skills. He was fearless.
Down with Ullbrich.
Might be contract issues getting Ulbrich here, but we will see.
I’m guessing they hire internally, less of a “good fit” risk.
I’m not sure internally is the way they go.Korueuk (sp) seems he just wants to stay as DL coach, and the other candidates maybe to green? I’ll throw another couple names in the arena..Phil Parker head coach Iowa , and Glen Schuman DC Georgia both have experience as LB/DL Parker is older at 60? Schuman 34 both have done tremendous jobs on D..
Johnny Holland’s (current LB coach) name has popped up as a possibility, something I discuss in my
New thread.
