49ers Fire DC Steve Wilks after one season

The San Francisco 49ers have fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, coach Kyle Shanahan announced Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Shanahan said he expected his coaching staff to stay largely intact but that conversations still had to take place in the coming weeks.
The 49ers hired Wilks before last season when DeMeco Ryans was hired by the Houston Texans as their head coach.
Shanahan told reporters that Wilks "just ended up being not the right fit."

Quick google search tells me they were:
8th in total defense
14th in pass defense
3rd in rush defense
3rd in scoring defense
So does someone within the organization just randomly hate this dude or something? Seems like he'll get a job pretty quickly with those numbers.

Scapegoat

I guess they had their reasons but imo it was more their inability to score TD's when they were in the red zone that lost the game than it was the defense

I struggle to see what he did that was fire worthy. Seems like Kyle is blame shifting instead of owning the fact that he’s an all time choke artist. Wilks has to be one of the unluckiest coaches in the league between the 1 season at Arizona, not getting the Carolina job and then this.

Wonder if he will sue them like he did when the Cardinals fired him.

I am sure there are narratives to explain it all.

Their defensive game plan in the superbowl was weird. They basically left all mid range throws wide open

The Super Bowl was probably his best effort of the playoffs
He let Love and Goff almost bounce them as heavy favorites in the prior 2 rounds

He was getting great pressure just rushing the front 4 and they were able to cover the first 3 quarters. Then all of a sudden in 4th quarter and OT he started blitzing the fricking house and mahomes burned them. Not sure why he got so agressive all of a sudden but it was dumb

WTF? I'm a long-time KC Chiefs fan, but dang that's some pretty harsh scapegoating.
Anyone who watched the game saw the 49er's D shut down KC's offense in the first half. I thought Bosa was going to tear Mahomes' head off on a couple of plays.
Second half? Yeah, the Chiefs did what they always do - they adjusted.
If anyone is to blame for the Niner's loss, it's Shanahan. Their offense stopped running and couldn't stay on the field - which played right into KC's strengths this year. After several series where the defense got virtually no rest because the offense didn't move the ball, KC just wore them out.
I thought after the game that the Niners had NO reason to hang their heads after that game. They gave KC all they could handle. It was a great game, but Shanahan is a bitch and shifted blame to his DC.
So, yeah, here's a l'il something for you Shanahan:

Damn there defense played very well in the super bowl and now he gets fired

We all know Kyle isn't gonna fire himself, thus, Wilks becomes the scapegoat.
Sucks. He did a good job.

Looking at the 49ers’ message boards, their fans are pretty much OK with this, with a lot of them saying it would’ve happened even if they’d won the big trophy and that they were surprised it didn’t happen during the season. Apparently it truly, legitimately was never a really good fit. Apparently it was so problematic that Shanahan had ordered him to the sideline from the press box a while back so he could keep tabs on him.

Did Steve Wilks coach at the college level? Hint one from a SEC team.
