The 49ers special teams are bad at everything. It can't cover. It can't return. It can't even get the ball into the end zone on kickoffs. It's a disaster. And yet, head coach Kyle Shanahan says will not fire special teams coordinator Brian Schneider.
It can't cover. It can't return. It can't even get the ball into the end zone on kickoffs. It's a disaster.“We evaluate special teams every week," Shanahan said Monday on a conference call. "There's not a lot that you're going to do a lot different in the Bye. We could add one more game to what we've been evaluating throughout it all. I have no concerns with Brian Schneider, if that's what you mean by that.
Shanahan said the right thing. Firing Schneider after the season is the right move, but the 49ers can't fire him now and find an upgrade over him midseason. Firing him now would be an emotional decision that would hurt the team.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
