Wow. Mickey and Gayle are far stupider than we thought.

You raise valid points overall, but it you watched the Minny game. The way they gave up the 22 was very troubling. They had a lot of talent, but they were not well coached imo. A lot of horrible mistakes.

I think there are probably at least 25 better D Coordinators than Wilks, so I don’t think it was a bad move.

rom some reporting I found:

Shanahan and Wilks have butted heads philosophically all year long. At the root of Shanahan’s and Wilks’ disconnect was Wilks’ preference for 3-4 schemes though he was hired to operate Shanahan’s preferred wide-9 4-3 defense. Shanahan knew this when he hired Wilks, though. During a midseason losing streak, Wilks acknowledged the difficulty of operating an alternative scheme after doing his own thing for nearly two decades.



same shite at Missouri, Missouri was running a 4-3, then he came in and changed the system, players were out of position, not the right fits for system, and he would not change.

wilks is crap
