2024 NFL Off Season thread
Steve Wilkes got fired as SF DC. After one season.
He was the Cards coach. For one season. He was interim HC for the Panthers, yet wasn't kept despite turning the season around. What is wrong w/Steve Wilkes?

Coordinators that reach the SB don't get fired. They get hired as HC's.
This is one of the reasons I don't like the Shanahans. I don't think they can ever take responsibility for their mistakes & on the sly try to make others the scapegoats to take the heat off of them. But this goes into what I think is Wilks "problem". Bad bosses. Bidwell, Tepper & now Shanahan.

I think it was blazingly obvious that Shanny threw Wilkes under the bus because his offense could only score 19 points in regulation and just a field goal in OT. Granted, the Chiefs had a good defense this year. Everyone was gassed by the time overtime hit and Mahomes had already begun to move the ball pretty well at the end of the game. I don't know, it felt like an inevitability, that final drive, to the point that if I was in Shanny's shoes I'd retire and go into professional bowling I mean I'd have gone for it on 4th.
The timing could not be worse for the 49ers too; now they're pretty well stuck trying to find a passable DC on an offense-headed team from someone's position coach roster after everyone good has been signed. Oh yeah, and the head coach has a track record of throwing you under the bus (see also: 28-3). Good luck with that...

Success doesn't matter when people don't get along. Jimmy Johnson was run out of town after winning two consecutive super bowls. Talk about nuts!! |

I have had several bosses attempt to micro-manage me, none successfully. |

It's different when you have a bunch of guys under you that are depending on you. You can't walk off on them and blame someone else. It never works out well. He did what he had to do at season's end. |

I don't think Brady or Manning would be able to handle their business this way.

Edit to add...the Market Unit General Manager (3,800 employees), asked me to go downstairs to the warehouse. After that, my problems went away. Everyone knew I was Chuck's guy. Last edited by dsvitak; 02-26-2024 at 01:53 PM. |

According to the NFLPA, the Chiefs were 31st in rankings by the players.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...ms-chiefs-31st This may well be true, but I am sure that this didn't stop them from wearing their new rings! |

It sickens me the amount of breaks Andy Reid's son Britt has gotten.
