The 49ers’ latest come from ahead defeat has some calling for Kyle Shanahan’s head. He has driven the team bus into a ditch and their playoff chances are now at 27% according to ESPN’s formulas. Let’s break it down.
No, I don’t think so. This organization values money over rings. Shanahan is the golden goose that delivers highly profitable home playoff games. Only when the Yorks believe that may stop will anything change.
“If they let Shanahan go then who?!!?” The battle cry of his defenders who invariably cast the Expecto Tomsula spell along with it. Guys, you’re crying wolf, it’s no longer a flex. It’s somewhat ironic that Shanahan has elevated the franchise to the point where the top candidates will now take an interview with them. Asking who is a fair question, mentioning Tomsula and Chip Kelly gets eye rolls and tanks your credibility.2.
After the defeat, a driven team became a group of independent contractors, as the urgency and collective belief started to fade. The odometer impact of playing so many playoff games over the last five years led to more severe injuries. Steps were lost due to the age of an aging team. Shanahan’s mistakes have been costly, led by his 2023 mindset on touches. Heavy reliance on a lesser Christian McCaffrey, too many touches for a diminished Deebo Samuel, too few carries for Jordan Mason. It’s as if 2024 doesn’t exist.are telling. Samuel has -40 rushing yards over expected, ranking 268th out of 280 leaguewide. McCaffrey is at -27 and ranks 257th. They get the snaps and carries. Yet Isaac Guerendo is +76 and 17th, and Jordan Mason is +196 and 4th.
