The 49ers have fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilks after just one season.

Someone had to fall on the sword.

The Steve Wilks decision seems like an "over reaction" type move from an organization. The 49ers defense ranked 3rd in the league. 14th against the pass and 3rd against the rush. Yeah teams lose in championship games a lot. KC lost against Tampa Bay in Super Bowl and then lost the AFC Championship one year to Cincy.

But they didn't fire Steve Spagnula because his defense with young core and cast offs awhile did solid enough. They understood , ok we won't move on unless the entire unit goes into the tank 1 season.



EDIT : according to a report Kyle Shanahan handled the situation with Wilks so classless , its insane. Instead of speaking to Wilks in person to discuss things , he decided to call him and do it over a conference call.

WOW.....

Damn, now that's why I would never go to a victory celebration. Hope the wounded all get better.

There was a number of fun moments before that. Kelce and Mahomes getting hammered on stage to talk. With Mahomes looking at his wife..."Sorry , I'm just a regular QB ok..." as he poked fun at this moment.

The comical aspect is Mahomes never heard this. He just decided to deliver a statement on that to Gibson.

Judging from all that, it sounds like Wilks was made the fall guy for the blunder Shanahan made in overtime. Yeah, that WAS a classless move. I wonder if GM John Lynch gave that his blessing?

Well, the firing happened so I would say yes.

The 49ers seem to be in a state of chaos right now. Brandon Aiyuk seems to be going on social media wanting a trade for next season. It’s said he wants a new contract and this seems to be his idea to get one.

All while Kyle Shanahan is getting more blame now as he fired Wilks really for just this game. And it’s not like the defense didn’t play hard as we saw and they were an OT final possession away from winning!

Way too much hand wringing. It was a close game that came down to the best player in football scoring a TD. SF lost the game because a punt hit a players ankle. That is not on the coach, or the player for that matter. That and the blocked extra point, another random event. (both the kicker and the defense were doing what they do for every extra point, once in a great while the ball hits an outstretched hand)

Gonna be one hell of a redemtion story IF/when Shanny II does cash a big game in. Overcoming Dan Quinn and Steve Wilks as foils to Shanny's brilliance, has Hallmark Wednesday night movie of the week written all over it.

Or, or, there's a new Fall Guy movie coming out, the reshoots with Steve Wilks would make a great easter egg.

His so-called explanation for why the move to fire Wilks was made seemed schizophrenic at best.

Funniest deal …as Kelce/Reid continues on someone just did the funniest response..”What will children think if they see this behavior? A lot of them won’t have NFL careers like that.”

I responded with…parents are the ultimate teachers for their children. We should not leave it up to NFL players. Lol

The Raiders released Jimmy G. today. Earlier he was suspended by the NFL for testing positive for PEDs. He has to serve a 2 game suspension.

Jimmy lost his job last year due to how he played.

Bwahahaha!

Guy didn't play like he was on PEDs.

Was he using them right!?

It was for a prescription he failed to get an exemption for, so not likely a blatant attempt to juice, but more likely using a substance that is prohibited unless you clear it with the league ahead of time and have a medical reason to use it, which he did not do. Sometimes that happens as an oversight by the player or out of ignorance that the substance was prohibited, but sometimes it's intentional on the player's part, but we don't know which it is this case is.
