This thread is terrible.
Yes a black man was fired after San Fran didnt win the super bowl. So what? In two of the three years before this - the black defensive coordinators of San Fran were hired as head coaches. In the implication somehow that Shanahan who has hired black men for his last 3 defensive coordinators is racist? Please.
I listen to the 3 and out podcast the host is a big San Fran fan. He thought the defensive was not doing well all year and said today that he'd be fired even if they won the Super Bowl. The reality is Wilks had key players not even playing hard in the Championship Game.
Also the defensive game plan on the last drive of regulation was terrible. He just let Mahomes march down the field. Instead of thinking, If we prevent them from having a fg, we win the game. He thought to himself, "Just don't give up a TD so I don't look bad."
In overtime, he was basically playing the same "prevent" defense. It was so bad the head coach called a timeout to get organized. How often do you see a head coach call a time out to tell the DC to do something else? At that point, Wilks has to be fired for the next year.
If Wilks was some genius or beloved by his star players, he'd never be fired. Clearly he's no D. Ryan.
