The San Francisco 49ers are on the hunt for a new defensive coordinator. Kyle Shanahan announced on Wednesday that Steve Wilks has been let go after the 49ers gave up 19 points in their final four defensive possessions against the Kansas City Chiefs. Obviously, the Super Bowl loss in itself surely couldn’t have been a fireable offense, but something has been brewing behind the scenes throughout the season.
It was always going to be difficult to maintain the standards set by last year’s No. 1 overall DVOA unit under DeMeco Ryans, but San Francisco didn’t drop off that substantially in year one with Wilks. Perhaps this San Francisco Chronicle column on Wilks was ominous, highlighting some of the disconnect even from the likes of star pass rusher Nick Bosa. I know this is a Seahawks site and we’re covering this because the 49ers are fierce rivals, but it’s hard not to feel sorry for Wilks.
