re: 49ers Fire DC Steve Wilks after one season

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.

I'd say they still underperformed with the talent on that defense, but Kyle is probably just trying to shift some blame here. If they win the SB, Wilks still has his job today.

Don’t use counting stats. 49ers were 26th in defensive rush EPA.

He’s not being fired for the Super Bowl, so all of this scapegoat stuff is nonsense. He’s being fired because the defense under this regime has never been more talented and they still took a sizable step back from Saleh and Ryans. The number of games in which he was drastically outschemed and outadjusted were far too many and it got worse as the season went on as people figured him out. They got by on absurd talent. The Detroit gameplan and effort (he’s supposed to be a motivator) was a firable offense on its own. Plus his own position group (DBs) have been a huge liability all year
I was pleased with the defensive gameplan and most of the execution with 2 weeks to prepare against a limited offense. But the Niners were not going to remain a top 5 D with him running it. It’s a bold move on paper but this is a big relief for Niner fans

Numbers don’t tell the full story. They were pretty trash on defense against elite QB’s such as Burrow, Cousins, and Mahomes. He deserved to be fired midseason tbh.

Shanahan.
He’s a choker and needs a scapegoat. I wanted the 49ers to win, but the consolation was watching this wanker choke away another one.
