Hermanator Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 He didn't seem happy with some of the defensive calls in the 4th and overtime. Think even took a TO to change one. Guess he REALLY didn't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not a slap at Shanahan, but in respect to Spags. Edited February 14 by codaxx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 14 Moderators Share Posted February 14 A bit surprising. Would the same move had happened if they won the Super Bowl? A blocked PAT resulted in the dominoes falling that lead to this move in my eyes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blocked PAT resulted in the dominoes falling that lead to this move in my eyes. I would say the game changed on the punt, but you are right. The score was 19-19 at the end of regulation. KC got 7 pts of a short field, hard to say the defense didnt do their part.. (I was actually surprised by the SF defense, given their prior playoff performances) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was actually surprised by the SF defense, given their prior playoff performances) Which is probably the better way to view that move by Shanahan. The Niners’ defense was less than impressive against both GB and DET. Though, the 2H adjustments on defense were what allowed for SF to win that game.

TexasLonghorns Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Where’s the objective reasoning for firing someone who led your team to the Super Bowl, had a top 5 scoring defense, top 10 in total defense, #1 in the NFL in interceptions. Is this an emotional firing or a coach actually holding coaches on his staff accountable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a coach feeling like his DC and he just aren't compatible in the way he feels they need to be compatible. Trying to dig into specifics would just be blind speculation, but Shanahan obviously felt the divide wasn't fixable moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horns96 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Meanwhile, the Cowboys hire another has-been yes-man in Mike Zimmer who dropped this perfect quote today - "I'm thrilled to work with Mike McCarthy, for whom I have had a ton of respect in our NFC North days, and to do anything I can do to help the Joneses and the Cowboys." The Dallas "Joneses". Edited February 15 by horns96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread-headed Texan Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Wonder if Kyle is firing the offensive coordinator too? I mean it's not like the offense did anything with the interception the defense got in KC territory or the Pacheco fumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
