One of the reasons I'm such a Brock Purdy fan and hope to see him overcome this rough season is because of how he takes responsibility. Nothing hit harder when he spoke after the Rams game and said he felt like he failed the team. Thats not an easy comment to make, especially as the starting QB
Grant should not be covering the 49ers. Last year he was gushing all over Brock Purdy now his bashing Purdy…Now he wants to fire Shanahan. He know absolutely nothing about football!!!
That’s right. He should bash Purdy because he sucked this year. I don’t know why it’s so hard for you people to distinguish between being a 49ers fan and player fan. Just because you criticize a player for performing terribly doesn’t mean your not a true 49ers fan. Loyalty should be to the 49ers Franchise not Brock Purdy or any other player if they are not getting the job done on a CONSISTENT BASIS.
He needs to be a winner and a better decision-maker like his father. I’m tired of the whole “he’s not his father” type shit. Be a Super Bowl Winner like your father for crying out loud!!
I agree, but in this case grant finally has a valid question. Kyle NEVER takes blame or accepts responsibility for crap showing and goofy grant finally got him to do it. Im actually shocked arrogant Kyle took responsibility out of his own mouth.
What is the obsession to hear Kyle to take accountability for a bad season? Isn't that the case for all 31 HC that has don't reach the goal of getting a championship? There other factors that go into a bad season as well.
The problem is all the other 31 coaches will admit it with no problem, even if it’s one player messing up, most coaches will take that blame as a leader
Facts! What the f does it matter to need to hear a coach say the obvious. He didn't get where he is by not learning from his mistakes and taking accountability for issues that come up. Fans need to stop the clown shiiiiit!
@ he got to where he’s at now by being Mike Shannahan son! He’s A nepo baby that is afraid of the Super Bowl 😂 true leaders take accountability for the failure of their followers
@@akkibajaj705 hearing ppl state things is more powerful than what ur giving credit to. I will agree about bs pr but it has to be somewhere in the middle though with podium statements. To me, i think this a positive step for kyle and i think we'll see growth this next season.
It’s good to hear Kyle take accountability but honestly if you put the 49ers season under a microscope, multiple factors is the reason why the season was a disaster.
DOESN'T MATTER. HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE RESPONSIBILTY AFTER THE SB LOSS. THE HANDLING OF TREY LANCE. OTHER THINGS. FOR HIM TO FINALLY SAY THIS AT ALL IS A HUGE STEP IN GROWTH.
agreed, I really tried watching him and the few other youtubers he's always making videos with. Most all of them are just bad at their jobs, give bad information, and bad takes. I really appreciate TheSFNiners and Lombardi, they know what they're doing :)
Rightfully so. Grant is a rat/clown/hack that got to ride his daddy's coat tails into the business. Grant's daddy Lowell bashed Montana and Walsh religiously. His column regularly poked at every little thing the 49ers did or didn't accomplish. There's reporting the news and opinion pieces, but he always had a negative slant even when they were winning 5 Super Bowls in 14 years.
Kyle doesn't have to admit to anything. I love that he doesn't budge when it comes to taking accountability. Our fans feel like they are owed a explanation. Our fans are the biggest two faces in all of sports as well as entitled.
Shanahan makes mistakes like every other coach, but the fact that our fans want him to be held accountable for things that aren't his fault (just because he's the HC) is ignorant IMO.
NO! If Kyle is actually taking ownership THIS IS GROWTH FOR HIM! IT IS ABOUT TIME!! That is part of what has been missing for a few years! Things not going perfect is one thing, but him never taking responsibIlity has been 90% of what has been missing. YAY, KYLE. FINALLY.
I think Sorensen and Moody are a failure. The former turned one of the best defenses for the past years into an average one. The latter has had enough chances and is just not working. Cut them lose I say.
Blanket statements like this expose casuals so quickly. Did you not see the difference in how the team looked with and without Greenlaw on the field? Did you forget that we lost Armstead who constantly took on doubles and replaced him with Hargrave who wasn’t as good and also got hurt early on? We were constantly missing corners. I’m not saying Sorensen was great, but he was fighting an uphill battle that Wilks never had to fight other than in the 2nd half of the Super Bowl when Greenlaw went down. Then look what happened..
@@Jim-z3k I understand all that, and yet, I stand by my opinion. If you think that makes me a casual, well, then you are just going ad-hominem on me, you have no idea who I am. BTW, been fan since the 80's, I saw Montana play and everyone after that, I'm super casual.

Thats my problem with you, you jsut dont seem to understand that.
Finally! I think we can all agree that the Niners were delt a horrible hand this year, but the Chiefs have been delt a similar hand (not AS bad but close) and are the #1 seed. Their HC schemed around the talent that he had rather than forcing 3rd and lower depth guys to conform themselves to Kyle's schemes. That is being a slave to ideology. Kyle should have thrown out his normal playbook and gone to the super simple "break glass in case of emergency" book. Kyle also needs to figure out how he gives games we should win in the 4th quarter so often.
@@designatedsmoker5113yes those teams had key players go down. But not the total number of games that our pro bowl level players have missed. Go up and down the roster and compare players at position and see who lost that many starters for multiple games
On their defense? Because that’s the primary reason Kansas is winning. They have the best defensive coach and the best head coach, not to mention Mahomes. 0 c_chp
@@Grayson27 the pro bowl is nothing but a popularity contest! Vikings have literally had a backup QB all season. It’s nobodies fault but Kyle’s that the best players on the team are ALWAYS hurt! The players you’re talking about are all on the wrong side of 25 and have no depth behind them because Kyle thinks Deebo & CMC are literal avengers! 🙄
The head coach is always under a ton of scrutiny and of course he’s responsible for everything that’s gone on this season. That’s literally in the job description of head coach. Nothing’s different in that regard.
Brock “takes accountability” and then goes out there and makes the same mistakes. I don’t give a crap about taking “accountability verbally” I just care what happens after the mistake.
When Kyle had an OC that helped design plays and likely provided quality control (play call tendencies, looking at opposing defense tendencies, etc.) they were tops in the league. This year, play calling appeared stale and lacked innovation to attack opposing defenses. Hope Kyle can take that into consideration for next year.
Kyle looks like he's 10 years older compared to last seasons Super Bowl. He's stressed the hell out and looks almost like a house bound shut in with all that stress he's taken in
Thanks Kyle, no need to apologize, since the Niners went through a lot of injuries and family issues. It was a very difficult year, and I'd like you to be a Niner until you're too old to coach. Next year we're gonna shine w/ that schedule. Let's get our team healthy, and to stay that way for the 2025 season. Ohh and if one thing, let's get rid of Moody and get someone else please.
Your gonna give him his flowers for doing this finally in HOW LONG....hes way overdue and if he could he would take no blame and definitely blame the team and coaches...
Kyle is 100% responsible. This team had enough talent to win that abysmal division. Despite the injuries.. Its his fault CMC is worn down. Its his fault Deebo gets force fed the ball when hes washed. Jake Moody still being out there missing field goals is Kyles fault.
What i hate about Kyle is, I don’t need parents to be friends with their kids. I need them to be parents and raised their kids. But you’re right, if you take accountability we will still be irritated, but we will give you a pass
Imagine grinding 20 games of regular season and postseason with an absolutely stacked roster, all just to lose in OT in the Super Bowl. Add the Madden curse (lmao) on top of that and yeah, that's gonna weigh on a team for at least a year. Despite having to pay Purdy next year, he's still my QB and Shanahan is still my coach. Still gonna be a fun team to watch for years to come. Have faith y'all
Hey Brad. I like your takes. I think this is a good one and I think Kyle taking responsibility is great. But I feel Kyle always takes responsibility for his teams. I almost always disagree with Grant when it comes to the 49ers and Kyle Shanahan. I don’t think Kyle should be fired. I don’t think he’s done anything that even warranted the conversation of him being terminated this season. The Niners had a bad season injury, riddled, and that kind of stuff happens. I’ve been a fan since the 80s I remember seasons that were far worse than this. Next season should be a better one. Thank you for all that you do. God bless you and your family. Happy new year. Keep the content coming.
You are right!!! We all know that. Kyle like Bill Walsh is very detached from his players emotions. He needs to get into someone head especially QB's and make them play better. Most of the players that have left Kyle's camp of coaching has done so much better on other team such Sam Darnold because their coaches get inside their head to correct mentally what they are doing wrong and that why they do better on those teams. But you are right.....he is more about his theories in sports than the player.
Kyle's horrible ineptness all season long, was enough to get him fired. That Kyle can take responsibility for his many failures, and still have the entire 49ers organization under his thumb, is a mystery to me. Kyle coached like he didn't even care, and was on his way out of San Francisco.
Kyle is ranked No.13 in play calling this season. So, fans are totally legit in saying that they don't want Kyle to coach the 49ers anymore....the 49ers have gone to 2 SuperBowls and have loss....The Rams have gone to 2 SB's and have won 1. So, it's 7 years and he is still making bone-head decisions that cost the team and fans this loss. Fans are going to stop buying items or tickets to games because they do not like Kyle.
The thing about this is that Shanahan always waits until the end of the season to take responsibility instead of taking it, has on when it happens during the season
I appreciate the accountabilty, but Im troubled by the other 2 components that are not forthcoming : 1) Kyle, can you identify the exact causals for the failed season? And 2) Kyle can explain what specific steps will be taken to remediate this under performance? This was the expectation by my boss when I worked at any hi tech company in the valley. All 3 components of a post-mortem when reality did not meet expectation. if you couldnt provide that you were fired. I believe Kyle can answer all 3 questions right now.
Please don't take the Grant Cohn or Sheryl Swoops take on the 49ers. I'm a recent fan of the 9ers never gave a sh-t about them before until CMC, I personally like your commentaries about the team just don't throw dirt on them.
I think it’s good that he’s putting it on himself because that’s what a good leader does… but it’s not all his fault. There are plenty of errors and missteps from top to bottom it’s not all on any single individual. Good on him for bearing the burden of responsibility though.
Kyle you the truth Big dawg. Bounce Back next year is gonna Be crazy. Never should of had Campbell on our Team. Bell better be cut, Brown better be cut. The whole OL smh. Number 22 trash all them old slow corners need to be cut. Jake Moody........ BANG BANG
Kyle's team went to 2 SB's and 4 NFC champs. Some (fans) want to fire him because he hasn't won a SB.......yet. Do these (fans) know what it takes just to get there. Only 2 out of 32 teams make it. I am proud of the coach and his team. Years like '24' happen, maybe not as severe, but shyt still happens. GO NINERS!!
Who are you going to get to replace Kyle? He has taken the team to the NFC championship game 4 times and to the Super Bowl twice. The team had a bad year. Some talk about Andy Reid in KC. Reid is an offensive minded coach. KC’s offense isn’t doing that great this year. They are winning with great defense. They’ve had the same defensive coordinator for several years. The 49ers have had 4 in 4 years. The best were given HC jobs. It would be great to get Robert Salah back. All the people saying fire Kyle should think long and hard about who would be better?
Kyle and most others in the 9er org hold themselves accountable in a healthy way. Weird year and I'm guessing that under John's leadership, some tough decisions will be made in the offseason.
Who cares what Kyle says to the media? Who is dumb enough to think that the head coach isn't responsible for the team's performance? It's obvious. Saying he "takes responsibility" in a press conference has no effect on the team.
Average cohn head: Kyle needs to take responsibility!" *takes responsibility for the season "Why does this matter! he should be taking responsibility always!" Do you hear yourself. He is doing it now, especially in this season he does undeniably. He is doing it. Yall want to put your anger on him so badly. Damn if he does, damn if he doesnt ahh crowd.
OK, Jed says Kyle and John aren't going anywhere...but he should at least have a "come to Jesus" meeting and let him know what needs to change. Like Kyle's rookie-phobia. Kyle needs to play the players who give you the best chance to win, whether rookie or veteran.
If your owner has to defend keeping you, you’re already on the way out. He didn’t “take responsibility”, he gave a non-apology, apology. He still managed to get snarky about the question. He is immature. He’s lucky Brock saved his job two years ago. He doesn’t think he has anything to learn. He defends his obvious mistakes. He’s 0-3 in SBs. Jed seems a little “dim”, too. Sooooooo……..
Kyle just needs to learn to control a lead and to use his players in rotations to keep them fresh give him 1-2 seasons and if he still can’t get a sb win then they move on
I’ve watched a lot of Kyle and he quite often expresses regret when things don’t go well, and his part in those decisions, but he isn’t out there self flagellating so it’s not enough? It’s ridiculous that certain members of the national media pick up on what one local guy is putting down and somehow, Jed York is having to respond to questions about Kyle’s job security, and then that same guy asks Kyle to evaluate himself in front of the media? Grant Cohn can take a long walk off a short pier, and his fans can follow him because most of them are mindless sheep who don’t know any ball.
You don't think all of this falls on his shoulders as the head coach!!!! Jeeezus dude! You and your subscribers would rather say the sun is shining while all the wheels are falling off the cart
One last parting stupid decision by KS: Im starting a free agent QB ( Dobbs ) and try to win the last meaningless game so we can slip further down the draft order… 🤦🏻♂️😡
Everyone agreed the offensive line needed to step up. Then they said it wasn't brocks fault for throwing interceptions. But it was the offensive lines fault that brock threw those interceptions. So now we are supposed to believe Kyle now when it wasn't his fault before? 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm watching this, and I'm kind of laughing how he can't just say, "Kyle never takes responsibility for a damn thing" Just say it, we don't need all these qualifying words. In 8 years, this is the third time I've seen Kyle take any kind of responsibility. I appreciate Kyle finally saying something, but I'd like to hear something specific. The first time Kyle ever said he did anything wrong, I literally spit up my drink I was so shocked. I want to hear Kyle say something like "I need to do a better job helping guys get open against man coverage"
The fans saying Kyje should be fired are all morons with zero answers on who would be better. Don’t say Ben Johnson he’s not done anything in this league yet.
I think this was a great assessment of Shan and it made me look at him a lil differently cuz ive been a lil bit of a shanahan hater. I will say, a coach and leader SHOULD understand the nuance of each individual and know how to pull out the best of those players. Maybe if he adopts a little more of that ideology and strategy, the results would be different. But it also may not. Time will tell
I think if anyone else had asked Shanahan that question, he would’ve taken it a bit more seriously. Bc the question came from Grant, he knows he was going to twist his words & make a clickbait headline out of his answer.
Ya know, for the past 4-5 seasons, the niners have played a month more of football than other teams, without a sb… injury and mental exhaustion take its toll. Sure glad couch potatoes don’t run front offices…
I always got the sense that Kyle's relationship with the players was different than his relationship with the media. I think those relationships are a lot more nuanced than we realize. He's just not a guy that is going to drag players issues to the podium. The players when interviewed always seem to have Kyle's back, and to me that just wouldn't happen if he were truly some kind of totalitarian ass hole.
It is HIS fault. He's the HEAD coach/ OC. He choked,got away from what it takes to close our games like running the ball. Special team coach should've been fired a long with the training staff and booty- Moody
Nobody responsible expect players themselves. SF started as injured team before season started. Player still injured. Players had kids die Players shot N etc Coach not responsible
😂 Kyle isn't responsible for injuries. But not playing the backups last yr, why starters might be why they been tired n hurt. Not taking a chance on rookies, instead relying on vets. Kyle is responsible. Selecting Lance. Signing Hargrave. Selecting Moody. Select 2 LBs n 2 TEs, without any return. Not Selecting O-line in draft except Puni. Letting Kingston go. Nobody perfect. But repeated misses start to add up. New DC. No OC. Kyle might be tired. Need a break or recharge himself. Niners need to rebuild. Might take a couple draft for new O-line n D-line.
Kyle only said that to get people off his back. His ego is way to big to be a good team coach. He might be okay as an offense coordinator and call the plays but he is not a good head coach.
Look grant covers the niners but yet praises their downfall. He literally said he was enjoying the niners 1.5 chance of making the playoffs. Grant is the guy who wants and likes to create division and some fans fall for it. This dude should not have a platform to speak on the Niners. A lot of fans think he’s speaking truths and ask the questions no one wants to ask. But no! Grant tries to break this fan base apart. This is why not only coaches but some players don’t like this dude. That’s the reason he it the ultimate hater. That fact he goes on live streams talking to other content creators thinking they all know everything but they don’t. Everything they talk is speculation just hate this dude and the others that follow him.
OMG 😲😳 What a change of tune 🤣😂 Mr. York must have talked to him.. Come on Coach admit the obvious; After all, Im paying you $14 Million per season.. on a new extended contract…
Including starting a free agent QB in his last game.. Feature Dobbs to the league and hopefully gets paid by another team; While the young man you like and are keeping ( MORDECAI ) will not participate in this meaningless game 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you KS for manning up to the real truth.. Now please stay away from making decisions in the upcoming draft! Don’t try to draft another kicker in the 3rd round 😲🤣😂 Or try to find a future QB like T. Lance 😳
Thats not sincere at all tho by his tone. If you listen closely it was a very usual snotty answer by him just to shut the reporter up. He didn’t mean that at all
KYLE HAS NEVER GOTTEN EVEN THAT CLOSE. He could have after losing SBs and he never did. THAT HAS BEEN IMMATURE AND REALLY FAULTY. HIM FINALLY TAKING SOME OWNERSHIP IS LONG OVERDUE.
One of the reasons I'm such a Brock Purdy fan and hope to see him overcome this rough season is because of how he takes responsibility.

Grant is the skip bayless for the Niners. All he gives are hot takes and tries to stoke the anger of a certain section of the fanbase for clicks.
What Kyle admitted he made mistakes. I thought I would never hear that. Now adjust Kyle and keep improving yourself.
A step in the right direction.
You’re pretty old to have such a petty comment 😅
That's my take as well🎉
He needs to be a winner and a better decision-maker like his father. I’m tired of the whole “he’s not his father” type shit. Be a Super Bowl Winner like your father for crying out loud!!

Add the Madden curse (lmao) on top of that and yeah, that's gonna weigh on a team for at least a year. Despite having to pay Purdy next year, he's still my QB and Shanahan is still my coach. Still gonna be a fun team to watch for years to come. Have faith y'all
Hey Brad. I like your takes. I think this is a good one and I think Kyle taking responsibility is great. But I feel Kyle always takes responsibility for his teams. I almost always disagree with Grant when it comes to the 49ers and Kyle Shanahan. I don’t think Kyle should be fired. I don’t think he’s done anything that even warranted the conversation of him being terminated this season. The Niners had a bad season injury, riddled, and that kind of stuff happens. I’ve been a fan since the 80s I remember seasons that were far worse than this. Next season should be a better one. Thank you for all that you do. God bless you and your family. Happy new year. Keep the content coming.
Good, can Jed finally hold him accountable and fire him. I recall the Niners don’t hang conference championship banners.
How many times did they say they wouldn't trade Joe, yet the very next day he was off to the Chiefs...!!!
It may not be his fault, but it is his responsibility.
You are right!!! We all know that. Kyle like Bill Walsh is very detached from his players emotions. He needs to get into someone head especially QB's and make them play better. Most of the players that have left Kyle's camp of coaching has done so much better on other team such Sam Darnold because their coaches get inside their head to correct mentally what they are doing wrong and that why they do better on those teams. But you are right.....he is more about his theories in sports than the player.
He took accountability? No way 🤯
He never takes accountability. Wow!
Kyle's horrible ineptness all season long, was enough to get him fired. That Kyle can take responsibility for his many failures, and still have the entire 49ers organization under his thumb, is a mystery to me. Kyle coached like he didn't even care, and was on his way out of San Francisco.
I think he just wanted grant Cohn to stfu I don’t actually think he was taking responsibility
* Good!......NOW FIX IT!!!😡😡😡
Kyle always knows he's accountable. When things turn to total crap, who gets fired? Not the players..
Kyle is ranked No.13 in play calling this season. So, fans are totally legit in saying that they don't want Kyle to coach the 49ers anymore....the 49ers have gone to 2 SuperBowls and have loss....The Rams have gone to 2 SB's and have won 1. So, it's 7 years and he is still making bone-head decisions that cost the team and fans this loss. Fans are going to stop buying items or tickets to games because they do not like Kyle.
Props to Jed York!!
The thing about this is that Shanahan always waits until the end of the season to take responsibility instead of taking it, has on when it happens during the season
He only admitted to it because he had to . The accountability made him a bit more likable.
@@epicdream3r992 How about a $14 million per reason to admit something he rather not say.
Oh trust me, we know you are.
I appreciate the accountabilty, but Im troubled by the other 2 components that are not forthcoming : 1) Kyle, can you identify the exact causals for the failed season? And 2) Kyle can explain what specific steps will be taken to remediate this under performance? This was the expectation by my boss when I worked at any hi tech company in the valley. All 3 components of a post-mortem when reality did not meet expectation. if you couldnt provide that you were fired. I believe Kyle can answer all 3 questions right now.
Sounds like purdy when he says he has to do better but doesn’t 😂 just words
He doesn't believe it. He thinks he's playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers.
Please don't take the Grant Cohn or Sheryl Swoops take on the 49ers. I'm a recent fan of the 9ers never gave a sh-t about them before until CMC, I personally like your commentaries about the team just don't throw dirt on them.
I think it’s good that he’s putting it on himself because that’s what a good leader does… but it’s not all his fault. There are plenty of errors and missteps from top to bottom it’s not all on any single individual. Good on him for bearing the burden of responsibility though.
I'm not sure how to respond to this mass panic attack. 🤣 " We had a bad season...fire everybody !!! " C'mon, now.
Well duh!!!! Your the Head Coach.
Kyle you the truth Big dawg. Bounce Back next year is gonna Be crazy. Never should of had Campbell on our Team. Bell better be cut, Brown better be cut. The whole OL smh. Number 22 trash all them old slow corners need to be cut. Jake Moody........ BANG BANG
Kyle's team went to 2 SB's and 4 NFC champs. Some (fans) want to fire him because he hasn't won a SB.......yet. Do these (fans) know what it takes just to get there. Only 2 out of 32 teams make it. I am proud of the coach and his team. Years like '24' happen, maybe not as severe, but shyt still happens. GO NINERS!!
Who are you going to get to replace Kyle? He has taken the team to the NFC championship game 4 times and to the Super Bowl twice. The team had a bad year.
Some talk about Andy Reid in KC. Reid is an offensive minded coach. KC’s offense isn’t doing that great this year. They are winning with great defense. They’ve had the same defensive coordinator for several years. The 49ers have had 4 in 4 years. The best were given HC jobs.
It would be great to get Robert Salah back.
All the people saying fire Kyle should think long and hard about who would be better?
Kyle and most others in the 9er org hold themselves accountable in a healthy way. Weird year and I'm guessing that under John's leadership, some tough decisions will be made in the offseason.
Grant or someone in his family has some serious connections or dirt on someone in that building. How is he not fired at this point?
Is it just me or has Kyle aged 7 years over the past year???
Who cares what Kyle says to the media? Who is dumb enough to think that the head coach isn't responsible for the team's performance? It's obvious. Saying he "takes responsibility" in a press conference has no effect on the team.
Average cohn head:
Kyle needs to take responsibility!"
*takes responsibility for the season
"Why does this matter! he should be taking responsibility always!"
Do you hear yourself. He is doing it now, especially in this season he does undeniably. He is doing it. Yall want to put your anger on him so badly. Damn if he does, damn if he doesnt ahh crowd.
OK, Jed says Kyle and John aren't going anywhere...but he should at least have a "come to Jesus" meeting and let him know what needs to change. Like Kyle's rookie-phobia. Kyle needs to play the players who give you the best chance to win, whether rookie or veteran.
It's easy to say I did it, and take accountability and quit is something else
Love or Hate Grant, he at least had the balls to bring up the question (although should have been asked differently). Kyle hates him anyways.
If your owner has to defend keeping you, you’re already on the way out. He didn’t “take responsibility”, he gave a non-apology, apology. He still managed to get snarky about the question. He is immature. He’s lucky Brock saved his job two years ago. He doesn’t think he has anything to learn. He defends his obvious mistakes. He’s 0-3 in SBs. Jed seems a little “dim”, too. Sooooooo……..
Kyle just needs to learn to control a lead and to use his players in rotations to keep them fresh give him 1-2 seasons and if he still can’t get a sb win then they move on
I’ve watched a lot of Kyle and he quite often expresses regret when things don’t go well, and his part in those decisions, but he isn’t out there self flagellating so it’s not enough?
It’s ridiculous that certain members of the national media pick up on what one local guy is putting down and somehow, Jed York is having to respond to questions about Kyle’s job security, and then that same guy asks Kyle to evaluate himself in front of the media? Grant Cohn can take a long walk off a short pier, and his fans can follow him because most of them are mindless sheep who don’t know any ball.
The director needs a new screenwriter for a happy ending 😂
You don't think all of this falls on his shoulders as the head coach!!!! Jeeezus dude! You and your subscribers would rather say the sun is shining while all the wheels are falling off the cart
The 49ers will not win with Shanahan!
One last parting stupid decision by KS: Im starting a free agent QB ( Dobbs ) and try to win the last meaningless game so we can slip further down the draft order… 🤦🏻♂️😡
Thats fine now plz hand in your resignation
Everyone agreed the offensive line needed to step up. Then they said it wasn't brocks fault for throwing interceptions. But it was the offensive lines fault that brock threw those interceptions. So now we are supposed to believe Kyle now when it wasn't his fault before? 😂😂😂😂😂
Trade Grant Cohn to the Raiders!
That was Con John that asked the question 😂
Be responsible and get a new DC and kicker
I'm watching this, and I'm kind of laughing how he can't just say, "Kyle never takes responsibility for a damn thing" Just say it, we don't need all these qualifying words. In 8 years, this is the third time I've seen Kyle take any kind of responsibility. I appreciate Kyle finally saying something, but I'd like to hear something specific. The first time Kyle ever said he did anything wrong, I literally spit up my drink I was so shocked. I want to hear Kyle say something like "I need to do a better job helping guys get open against man coverage"
He shouldn't have missed those field goals
I think a better question is, What are you going to do to improve?
The fans saying Kyje should be fired are all morons with zero answers on who would be better. Don’t say Ben Johnson he’s not done anything in this league yet.
I think this was a great assessment of Shan and it made me look at him a lil differently cuz ive been a lil bit of a shanahan hater.
I will say, a coach and leader SHOULD understand the nuance of each individual and know how to pull out the best of those players. Maybe if he adopts a little more of that ideology and strategy, the results would be different. But it also may not. Time will tell
I think if anyone else had asked Shanahan that question, he would’ve taken it a bit more seriously. Bc the question came from Grant, he knows he was going to twist his words & make a clickbait headline out of his answer.
Ya know, for the past 4-5 seasons, the niners have played a month more of football than other teams, without a sb… injury and mental exhaustion take its toll. Sure glad couch potatoes don’t run front offices…
Invest in a oline , protect ur qb.
I always got the sense that Kyle's relationship with the players was different than his relationship with the media. I think those relationships are a lot more nuanced than we realize. He's just not a guy that is going to drag players issues to the podium. The players when interviewed always seem to have Kyle's back, and to me that just wouldn't happen if he were truly some kind of totalitarian ass hole.
It is HIS fault. He's the HEAD coach/ OC. He choked,got away from what it takes to close our games like running the ball. Special team coach should've been fired a long with the training staff and booty- Moody
Nobody responsible expect players themselves.
SF started as injured team before season started.
Player still injured.
Players had kids die
Players shot
N etc
Coach not responsible
😂 Kyle isn't responsible for injuries. But not playing the backups last yr, why starters might be why they been tired n hurt. Not taking a chance on rookies, instead relying on vets. Kyle is responsible. Selecting Lance. Signing Hargrave. Selecting Moody. Select 2 LBs n 2 TEs, without any return. Not Selecting O-line in draft except Puni. Letting Kingston go. Nobody perfect. But repeated misses start to add up. New DC. No OC. Kyle might be tired. Need a break or recharge himself. Niners need to rebuild. Might take a couple draft for new O-line n D-line.
Too many injuries and some players holding out for money and attentions.
Kyle only said that to get people off his back. His ego is way to big to be a good team coach. He might be okay as an offense coordinator and call the plays but he is not a good head coach.
NO SHIT!!!!!! You don't say.
Look grant covers the niners but yet praises their downfall. He literally said he was enjoying the niners 1.5 chance of making the playoffs. Grant is the guy who wants and likes to create division and some fans fall for it. This dude should not have a platform to speak on the Niners. A lot of fans think he’s speaking truths and ask the questions no one wants to ask. But no! Grant tries to break this fan base apart. This is why not only coaches but some players don’t like this dude. That’s the reason he it the ultimate hater. That fact he goes on live streams talking to other content creators thinking they all know everything but they don’t. Everything they talk is speculation just hate this dude and the others that follow him.
Well then he'd do himself a favorcand to find them, avoid them afterwards, or he'll be the same. 🎉
OMG 😲😳 What a change of tune 🤣😂 Mr. York must have talked to him.. Come on Coach admit the obvious; After all, Im paying you $14 Million per season.. on a new extended contract…
He is clowning bro. That was not a serious comment. omg
lol. Dude comes out and takes responsibility hours after Jed says their jobs are safe. lol.
Only took until week 18 for him to admit he’s the problem
🙄 we know! The “genius” cant seal the deal. Lets rebuild and start over the SB window has closed
Kyle actually took responsibility for something ?! Holy crap. Mark this day on the calendars. Maybe new year means new Kyle.
When will Grant Cohn take respnsibility for peepin' on Juice?
The rambling 🤦🏻♂️
Including starting a free agent QB in his last game.. Feature Dobbs to the league and hopefully gets paid by another team; While the young man you like and are keeping ( MORDECAI ) will not participate in this meaningless game 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you KS for manning up to the real truth.. Now please stay away from making decisions in the upcoming draft!
Don’t try to draft another kicker in the 3rd round 😲🤣😂
Or try to find a future QB like T. Lance 😳
Thats not sincere at all tho by his tone. If you listen closely it was a very usual snotty answer by him just to shut the reporter up. He didn’t mean that at all
KYLE HAS NEVER GOTTEN EVEN THAT CLOSE. He could have after losing SBs and he never did. THAT HAS BEEN IMMATURE AND REALLY FAULTY. HIM FINALLY TAKING SOME OWNERSHIP IS LONG OVERDUE.
