The Smart One Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I know it would have been tough but you find a way to keep your most talented minds no matter what. Shanny’s back in the Super Bowl and we have Sherman a former Quinn player in Seattle calling Shanny the greatest football mind he’s ever met.

Tribal Chief Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 You’re not going to keep a man that’s offered a HC job unless his last name is McDaniels. He’s gone. You guys gotta move on.

kiwifalcon Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Yes but as mentioned there aren’t many of these nfl HCing gigs going with the ability to build a team how you want without too much owner interference. The biggest reason why threads like this appear is because of the cluster we have as a HC right now. Charles Wright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Dirty Bird Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 No you just cant . im sorry when Julio Jones caught that sideline catch to win the SB and the Falcons were in FG range and then you decide to go in a shotgun pass instead of rush the ball 3 times your not getting a promotion.

But when Shanahan was offered the HCing job at a "storied" franchise like SF, I don't think he!! or high water could have kept him here....even if we had fired Quinn and offered Shanny the job!!! It's a moot point now, anyway, so, all we can do is move on --- Charles Wright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your judgement is clouded. You remember Shannys record 1st year as a HC ? He’s taken his lumps on the way trust me. Would you be saying the same thing in 17 when we are going to the playoffs and Shannys 9ers are 4-12?

Falcons_Frenzy Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Every time the 49ers win we beat this dead horse. This isn't Madden. In the real world people can make choices for themselves. Let's see, should Kyle have kept his OC gig for thousands, or take a HC position for millions.... tough call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep putting it all on Shanahan's shoulders without accounting for the holding penalty that forced us into passing. Oh, and before you say the hold only happened because it was a passing play we don't know that. Holding gets called on runs just as much if not more than it does on passing plays. The penalty stopped the clock and kept the Patriots from having to use a timeout. It also put the Falcons outside of FG range which then meant the Falcons were forced to pass the next play which was incomplete which led to another play where the Patriots didn't have to use a timeout. So instead of making them use all their timeouts they were only forced to use 1 and got the ball back with 2 left. Ohio Dirty Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTiger7222 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Jake Matthews was called for holding on 2 straight drives that killed both drives. But it's all Shanny's fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 As I recall, Shanahan wasn't the most popular person on this board after that game. And, you can't stop someone from leaving to be head coach Think the real mistake was letting LeFleur walk. Should have hired a grizzled vet for QB coach to balance his lack of experience and promoted LeFleur to OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the most stupid, hindsight ridden suggestion I’ve ever heard honestly. What owner would do that????
