Kyle Shanahan officially named the 49ers head coach

[SteezyEndo]

Although I'm not worried about Shanahan turning the 49ers into a juggernaut league wide, the Rams have lost 3 straight games to them with Kelly and Tomsula as HC.

All due to Fisher ball. Guaranteed we kept trying to use the same strategy on them, and figured us out like every other team did...

The Rams have also had the Seahawks number, and the Cardinals to a lesser extent thanks to Fisher ball. They have pulled some impressive wins under Fisher.

I wonder how he is going to respond to the beating he is (deservedly) taking for shitting the bed in the SB.

Unacceptable, how we going to beat the seahags and get blown out by the 49ers?...Its called no consistency. No matter how many times you flip the script.

Oh, definitely I agree. That's one thing this team seriously lacks. But that doesn't change anything. Fisher focused on making the rams competitive against the west, and did fairly well. For some reason the 49ers have had their number. 3 straight losses is consistent.

“You don’t think, just run the ball and make your guy kick a 50-yard field goal,” Shanahan told reporters after the game.

talk about a lack of game awareness. plus it was a 40 yard fg indoors. hopefully he keeps fucking up that way for the whiners.

True ... BUT ... this is going to gnaw at him for a while. It's going to be stuck in his head, especially the second guessing about not running the ball when it was 1st and 10 at the 23 yard line ... it's going to mess with his psyche and affect his decision making. Martz never seemed to be quite the same guy after losing Super Bowl 36, and this was far more of an epic choke than that. Shanny didn't even have to contend with a highly biased officiating crew that let the P*ts commit pass interference at will as they did against the Rams. Simply put, he blew it.

As Kevin Costner said in that golf movie (can't remember the title now), you define the moment, or it defines you. Unfortunately for Shanahan, the latter occurred on Sunday night.

It's Tin cup!

Meh it's not going to be that dramatic. He's a HC now with plenty to worry about not a SB that's been over and done with.

As was pointed out but the other response to this is Martz had and epic ego at the time and FO issues. It was literally like an epic storm.

SB 36 had different rules than today's NFL and it seems Rams fans forget that fact watching that game but even with that being said and being extremely lienient I do not see how at least a few PI and unnecessary roughness calls weren't called.

No offense but... :jerkoff::jerkoff::jerkoff: All those impressive wins are taken away with all the losses in games that we should win.

Yeah, no offense taken and no argument there. Impressive wins don't mean much when you're still sporting a losing record. I'm in no way defending Fisher, no point he's gone, I'm just pointing out that Fisher ball isn't totally to blame for the 49ers winning 3 straight against us with poor HCs. Fisher gets the blame because he's the coach, but there's more to it than just "Fisher's fault"

For sure, his schemes and philosophy are just too outdated. And the dude is just way too lax IMO, never have I ever seen a team lose such winnable games and then win the impossible ones. AND THAT'S THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART ABOUT IT ALL!! It's one thing to win the ones you should and lose the ones you shouldn't but every year Fisher's teams were ass-backwards. Fucking mind-baffling.

Problem is we sucked outside of the west. I'd rather win every out of division game and be swept by the west then sweep the west and lose the rest.

Yeah, I'd take 10-6 over 6-10 too.

Too bad Fisher didn't seem to mind.

Report: Kyle Shanahan won’t hire an offensive coordinator
Posted by Josh Alper on February 8, 2017

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has a lot of experience as an offensive coordinator and he will reportedly be putting that to work in his new role.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Shanahan is not expected to hire an offensive coordinator to his first 49ers staff. It’s not unusual for head coaches to call offensive plays, but the lack of an offensive coordinator is outside the norm as 30 teams have them or are expected to have them on staff in 2017 with the Browns as the only team that is going without the title.

Per Rapoport, the 49ers plan to hire Falcons offensive assistant Mike McDaniel as their “run-game guru” and Rich Scangarello as their quarterbacks coach. Scangarello was on the Falcons staff in 2015 before moving to Wagner College as their offensive coordinator. He’s also worked for the Raiders on the NFL level.

The 49ers will formally introduce Shanahan as their head coach at a Thursday press conference and his plans for the rest of the coaching staff will surely be on the agenda when he meets the media.

 

[Rynie]

Lol. The 49ers fucked up by getting rid of Harbaugh. Then they still hired Chip Kelly despite him completely ruining the Eagle's roster. Now, they're hiring the guy responsible for the biggest choke job in sports history. Well, done retards.

John Lynch: Kyle Shanahan’s offense could be “big challenge” for rookie

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ns-offense-could-be-big-challenge-for-rookie/


The 49ers finally have their head coach in place and now they need to get into the process of filling the roster with players that are going to help Kyle Shanahan win games in Santa Clara in the coming years.

While they need help at many positions, it comes as no surprise that General Manager John Lynch says that “a huge emphasis” will be placed on finding a quarterback as that roster-filling process gets underway. Lynch said the team will look at “every scenario” to acquire the quarterback they need, but cautioned that handing the reins to a rookie right out of the gate might be too big a task.

“You get in Kyle Shanahan’s system and you’ve got 15-word plays,” Lynch said on KNBR, via the San Jose Mercury News. “The coach is in your ear but you still have to replicate that with confidence and authority. It’s a big challenge.”

There was a report over the weekend that Shanahan has interest in bringing Falcons backup and impending free agent Matt Schaub with him to the Niners. Schaub’s experience would help whoever the 49ers bring in as they tackle that challenge.
*******************************************************************************************************************************
I was a huge fan of hiring Shanahan in the beginning.
The more I read about him,the more I am glad we went with Mcvay.
Not a fan of a rookie HC not hiring a OC.

Hopefully McVays terminology is not as word intense as Shanahan's.
I know Mcvay is a Gruden disciple so there is the possibility of the "word happy" terminology.
Just don't understand why it requires 15 words to call a play.

How you doing man! Haven't seen much of you around here for a while. How are you liking our new coaching staff?

Looking at Kyle Shanahan's rumored staff, it's kind of lending credence to all of those reports about him. He's hiring a lot of inexperienced, young coaches. From the article posted recently on Kyle's time in Washington:

Several members of the organization said Kyle Shanahan was a cause of internal strife, surrounding himself with young coaches with inferior experience, and allowing for no checks and balances of outside voices in the offensive coaching rooms.

“This is the NFL, it’s not supposed to be a training ground for coaches,” said someone who has worked with Kyle Shanahan in Washington. “It’s ridiculous. Look at this staff. It sucks. Mike’s best buddy is (longtime Shanahan assistant and current linebackers coach Bob Slowik), and Slowik’s son is in his second year out of college and he’s on the staff. Everyone on the staff is in his first or second year except for Mike and Kyle and Haslett (defensive coordinator Jim Haslett) and Raheem (Morris, the secondary coach), and everyone knows Raheem is there because he is close with Kyle. Those two go way back."

“Kyle’s not that confident, so they set him up with a bunch of yes men rather than have some experienced coaches to push him. It’s like Kyle is the pied piper and these kids just follow him around. I mean, Mike has been a head coach for 20 years -- usually a guy like that has a posse he can bring with him. So he’s got Bobby Turner (running backs coach) here, and Slowik, and that’s it. How does that happen? How does he end up hiring all of his son’s buddies?"

“What Mike has allowed to happen there, with that staff, there is no excuse for. There are guys on that staff who are just not qualified, and it shows up. Have you seen the quarterback develop? Look at (defensive ends Brian) Orakpo and (Ryan) Kerrigan? Are they progressing or regressing? Are you seeing the offensive lineman they drafted making it to the field?’ How many players are getting the kind of NFL coaching you’d expect on that staff?”

Quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur worked with Kyle Shanahan in Houston and had only two years experience as an “offensive assistant” with the Texans prior to becoming the Redskins QB coach. Similarly, receivers coach Mike McDaniel was a lower-level assistant on the Texans staff before coming to Washington. Tight ends coach Sean McVay’s only prior NFL experience to joining Washington came in 2008 as an offensive assistant in Tampa.

“McVay is really the only one of those kids qualified to do what he’s doing,” said one member of the organization.

The guy is a brilliant offensive mind, but I really do wonder if all the rumors about him in Washington are true.

 

[Rynie]

How you doing man! Haven't seen much of you around here for a while. How are you liking our new coaching staff?

I've always liked Wade Philips. He wasn't a great HC, but he's an excellent DC for sure. I guess I don't know who else y'all brought on. I've been OK. That playoff loss hurt, but our future is bright. We just need to beef up our D and we can contend.

The only thing I was worried about McVay was his youth and how that would translate into building a good staff, I figured he probably didn't have as many connections as others, including Kyle. Otherwise he was someone I pegged months ago as a potential replacement (I picked up on him in September and I wanted him in November) for Fisher. Glad that we went with him because he has long put to rest the biggest worry I had about him.
