This may come off as a touch salty, but I think the Kyle Shanahan hire was a bad one.
Shanahan's offensive strengths come from his play calling, not his extraordinarily complex scheme. Consider that it took Matt Ryan, probably one of the top three hardest working QBs in the league, a year and a half to learn this offense, and now picture a rookie doing it. Shanahan's offenses have been successful in exactly two of six years, behind tremendous efforts of RG3 in 2012 and Matt Ryan this year. I think it is just a huge risk to give a guy like this literally full reign over a team, especially given the alleged blank check of hiring his own GM. Combined with the trade rumors around Kirk Cousins, it seems like Josh Mcdaniels 2.0. The setup seems almost too perfect for history not to repeat itself.
Jed York has fired three coaches in three years and is now about to put way too much faith in a guy who probably does not deserve it. Best of luck to Kyle and the 49ers though, if all goes well he will have the draft capital and free agency cash to mold the team to his liking and turn them into contenders as early as 2018.
Just let us keep Mike McDaniel pls :X
