I feel like Shanahan lost the locker room after the Super Bowl debacle. It's no coincidence some key players held out...they figured they're not getting their rings so might as well try to get top dollar.
He’s no genius. Philly head coach has never had a losing season which shows good coaching. Watching the defensive coach of Detroit Lions still coach well against the Vikings with numerous injuries. Detroit hits on all three drafts with great players…… and Campbell having the humility to hire great coaches around him so he can exceed.
The thumbnails says it all. It’s a two-sided issue…the HC and the QB. The HC handles personnel and play-calling, and the QB touches the ball at EVERY snap. These two are the complete opposite of Reid and Mahomes.
Wrong on your assessment don’t blame the QB for the abysmal play calling by the HC and the garbage that it’s the OL aside from Williams and now Puni it can’t pass block to save its life.
They went from giving up the 3rd least points per game at 17.5 last season to giving up the 4th most points per game at 25.6 this season. Thats not good.
The Chiefs players (Mahomes and Kelce) couldn't believe the decision to give them the advantage of going 2nd and were literally jumping up and down. Meanwhile Juice, a Harvard grad, didn't even know the OT rules. Just goes to show how well-coached one team was.
Finally, Grant stops with the constant over-the-top hyperbole and has fair, insightful analysis. This was a good post, and I agree with a lot of it. We are on the brink of this team collapsing if egos persist (just like what happened at the end of the Harbaugh era), so I hope Kyle makes the necessary changes. It certainly was painfully evident that he got in his own way this year.
Great work this year, Grant! SOMEBODY has to report that the emperor has no clothes. I respect and admire your thoughtfulness and courage to speak up when no one else will. Your dad has taught you well. Keep up the good work. You will be proven right in the long run. Look up the definition of "narcissist" in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and you will find the explanation for Kyles behavior. Time for the world to see him for what he is...a bright guy who can't get out of the way of his psychological impairments.
It's not just injuries lions are just as injured yet 15-2. The entire nfl has kyle figured out its not hard if deebo is in the backfield the entire nfl knows its a handoff to deebo. Kyle can not adapt his head is in his plays during games more than watching the flow or lack of during the game. Wilks did need fired but the guy that he replaced him with is far worse. Moody should have never been a 3rd round draft pick. I've said it since kyle lost the first superbowl kyle is 100% the 9ers ceiling and they will never win a superbowl with him as head coach. At this point I won't be surprised if kyle drafts a punter in the 1st round of 25 draft
Don’t blame the injuries, Detroit is plagued with injuries and they clobbered the Vikings with a depleted defense. We were cheering when we beat up teams without their weapons last few years instead of admitting “Hey we beat those teams because they didn’t have a healthy team and it would’ve been better to have beaten them at their best” no we didn’t. No excuses now-
To assess Kyle, you only have to look at keeping Moody when he has repeatedly missed FGs FOR OVER A YEAR! If he can’t even make that easy decision to replace Moody, how could he possibly make any more difficult decisions on personnel.
You made some valid points Grant, as a NINER fan since ‘92, I have seen it all, and hoping for changes next season, but like you said, Kyle is too arrogant for someone who has choked in 3 Super Bowl’s, I hope he does have a come to Jesus moment lol
Grant I know this team has ran a 4-3 for awhile… but we’ve seen how a lot of the top defenses this year are running a 3-4, if the 49ers can get a good defensive coordinator that runs that front do you think they should consider the change?
Maybe, if there is a season, where Grant Cohn, isn’t outright trashing BananaHands, maybe BananaHands won’t dig his 3.75” heels in to the sand, actually do what he’s supposed to do. And that’s coaching to his talent level and winning the big one. Just a thought.
kyles problem is his ego is too big,cant see why since he cant win a big game.has no idea on how to change his system.they arepredictable.no one is scared of them anymore.kyles a choke artist in the biggest way.doesnt know how to develop a qb he isnt doing anything.trey lance isnt a bust kyle cant develop a qb.every qb has been developed.purdy isnt being developed.he played alot of college games.were not going to be better if the staff we have isnt all fired and get better quality coaches.he needs to fix the offensive line so purdy isnt running for his life.thats where alot of the issues are coming from.this team is soft and undisiplined.very ashamed of all playersinvolved
I feel like if Kyle doesn’t win it all, and this franchise doesn’t achieve its ultimate goal, and their window closes and the team starts to fizzle out the next few seasons, and Kyle is finally let go without pretty much anything to show for it… we’re all going to look back and see that one man was trying tell us all along. One man had the gumption to speak out despite being attacked for it, and that one man of course, will be Grant Cohn.
There are 3 games the Niners lost because of his refusal to run the ball when in a lead only to give the ball up because of incompletions leaving time for the other team to come back. See Seattle game and Rams game.
I don’t always agree with Grant, but on this one, I couldn’t agree more. No shade to Krug either, who I know backs KS big time. I get what KS has done. Looking back at before him and after him, he’s done really good things. But not great things, winning a Super Bowl is a great thing and he’s gotten us to the finish line and couldn’t accomplish it for us. TWICE he couldn’t do it. I like KS as OC but not as HC. Bring in a new HC, bring back Salah for DC.
I can't support the team any longer while Shanahan is at the wheel. I will no longer abuse myself in this manner. I KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA GET WITH THIS COACH....MEDIOCRITY!!!
Kyle is 95% of the problem with the Niners, Jed's lack of balls accounts for the remaining 5%. Get rid of Kyle now while there are some coaching vacancies. He has the same number of SB wins as Tomsula and all the other HCs since Seifert.
I agree that Kyle has done many good things, but he is responsible for several failures going into this season causing the massive downfall. However, firing Steve Wilks was not one of them. Wilks was a total failure at every stop of his career including 2 very short stints at the collegiate level and getting fired at every stop.
I’ve always said the root of the problem starts at the top! Team has no chemistry, no oneness, not hold each other responsible, no real accountability; The coach rewards guys that complain in Social Media, forget to tackle, sloppy play and mistakes.. Jed should be doing something about it instead of rewarding them with 💰 including KS and Lynch.
Hey Grant do you think Purdy should be Prosecuted for Team Treason & Face the Death Penalty because you & Nick Wright think he's Such a 'BAD' Quarterback? You really should Stand Down on Brock! You do know you're slipping into irreversible insanity don't you?
That’s the coach it’s almost almost like a mafia 2025 it’s going to be the same problems now they’re gonna have more problems because they’re gonna pay $60 million to a quarterback he’s need to have a lot of weapons to win a game 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s why I’m canceling my season tickets
Kyle only know how to run players into the ground! He is not a good head coach; and offensive coordinator, yes. He is there because of his dad, Mike Shanahan, who has three rings!
We can look at the root of the problem all we want that’s the easy part especially when you’re office is in your living room on your couch! How bout giving solutions that you can actually make happen? Oh you can’t because you dont matter as none of us do! Wilks sucked quit kidding yourself
Well wrong about sam darnold being better than purdy not even close . Brock carved up the lions and sam folded. Also don't believe there's no interest in Purdy if the vikings can get brock that team would be very scary and he would fit like a glove
Kyle Shanahan is a Egotistical Narcissist who will never admit fault or take responsibility for his decisions 😮. The Bottom line is Kyle is Responsible for this Teams failures, He needs to take a long hard look in the mirror 🪞
I can personally now say Cohn that I 1,000 percent agree with what you are saying that the root of the problem is because it all starts with who is navigating the ship. 🛳👍GOOD CALL!!!
The one thing Kyle is good at is making scapegoats!!
100%
One of Grants strongest takes of his career. Well stated.
Great year Grant! your worth 5 mil for quality control.
I'll give you a bag of chips and I'm risking myself
I feel like Shanahan lost the locker room after the Super Bowl debacle. It's no coincidence some key players held out...they figured they're not getting their rings so might as well try to get top dollar.
Kyle 70-62 but he’s a genius
He’s no genius. Philly head coach has never had a losing season which shows good coaching. Watching the defensive coach of Detroit Lions still coach well against the Vikings with numerous injuries. Detroit hits on all three drafts with great players…… and Campbell having the humility to hire great coaches around him so he can exceed.
0-43 when trailing in 4th quarter. You would think by mistake he could lead just 1 win. The definition of overrated.
Go chiefs
Media is hyped Kyle with the greatest offensive mind this game has ever seen😂😂😂 I think he sincerely believes that.
Lol he's a 🤡
Bro! A NARCISSIST Is INCAPABLE of CHANGE!!! Thaaaaaaat’s The PROBLEM!!! It’s EVERYBODY but HIM!!!
The thumbnails says it all. It’s a two-sided issue…the HC and the QB. The HC handles personnel and play-calling, and the QB touches the ball at EVERY snap. These two are the complete opposite of Reid and Mahomes.
Wrong on your assessment don’t blame the QB for the abysmal play calling by the HC and the garbage that it’s the OL aside from Williams and now Puni it can’t pass block to save its life.
@rich24h no blame the QB for his 16 total turnovers and only 20 td passes. Your right the QB is shit and yall only like him because he is white
They went from giving up the 3rd least points per game at 17.5 last season to giving up the 4th most points per game at 25.6 this season. Thats not good.
And the QB just keeps being Jimmy G 2.0. That’s not good.
Yea the defense couldn't stop anybody all year...teams that we should have blown out gave us a game or beat us
he didn't understand the OT rules either during the SB lol
Can't tell him that. That decision cost us the SB.
The Chiefs players (Mahomes and Kelce) couldn't believe the decision to give them the advantage of going 2nd and were literally jumping up and down. Meanwhile Juice, a Harvard grad, didn't even know the OT rules. Just goes to show how well-coached one team was.
Grant is the best! Thank you for being truthful on your analysis.
Finally, Grant stops with the constant over-the-top hyperbole and has fair, insightful analysis. This was a good post, and I agree with a lot of it.

Kyle has never had accountability. Nepo baby.
And this is the truth! You couldn't get more real than that!!
The root issue will show up next season if we don’t draft Lineman.
There's two. Jed. Shanahan
So there’s three? Jed, Kyle and Purdy. If the QB is mediocre, the whole team will be mediocre.
Exactly
Don’t blame the injuries, Detroit is plagued with injuries and they clobbered the Vikings with a depleted defense. We were cheering when we beat up teams without their weapons last few years instead of admitting “Hey we beat those teams because they didn’t have a healthy team and it would’ve been better to have beaten them at their best” no we didn’t. No excuses now-
Grant tells the truths most Niner fans don’t want to hear.
To assess Kyle, you only have to look at keeping Moody when he has repeatedly missed FGs FOR OVER A YEAR! If he can’t even make that easy decision to replace Moody, how could he possibly make any more difficult decisions on personnel.
But he easily got rid of Steve Wilkes
More toxic comments from thr fair weather 9er fan......chill out Grant
You have to backup that talent with solid leadership. Here's to hoping he can figure it out and turn it around for next year!
You made some valid points Grant, as a NINER fan since ‘92, I have seen it all, and hoping for changes next season, but like you said, Kyle is too arrogant for someone who has choked in 3 Super Bowl’s, I hope he does have a come to Jesus moment lol
We have to congrats Jim Harbaugh he returns and his on play offs he's a Great Headcoach not chicken shannahan
Grant I know this team has ran a 4-3 for awhile… but we’ve seen how a lot of the top defenses this year are running a 3-4, if the 49ers can get a good defensive coordinator that runs that front do you think they should consider the change?
No more Wide 9 next year. Need to change to a 3-4
@@kareemnajeebshakir5351would our current personnel translate into switching to 3/4? I got a feeling we’d need a major overhaul.
If they fired wilks after last season, why hasnt our DC been canned yet??
Maybe, if there is a season, where Grant Cohn, isn’t outright trashing BananaHands, maybe BananaHands won’t dig his 3.75” heels in to the sand, actually do what he’s supposed to do. And that’s coaching to his talent level and winning the big one. Just a thought.

The best thing about the end of the season is not seeing rat i mean grants face for a while
They have more than 1 root issue.
They should have kelp Wilkes 💯🎯
Who knew Grant does a killer Shanahan? 4:41 "I don't know anything about special teams." 😂😂
There are 3 games the Niners lost because of his refusal to run the ball when in a lead only to give the ball up because of incompletions leaving time for the other team to come back. See Seattle game and Rams game.
Very true grant he is the root problem he needs to change his ego and proudly take blame bring a different energy next year Kyle
Fire every coach
It's time for the NFL to fire Shanahan 🎉
Where is the GM in all this if he cannot call him out to ownership then leave. It’s time for the front office to handle this draft and fix the OL.
Grant "i secretly want Kyle's respect" Cohn
I don’t always agree with Grant, but on this one, I couldn’t agree more. No shade to Krug either, who I know backs KS big time. I get what KS has done. Looking back at before him and after him, he’s done really good things. But not great things, winning a Super Bowl is a great thing and he’s gotten us to the finish line and couldn’t accomplish it for us. TWICE he couldn’t do it. I like KS as OC but not as HC. Bring in a new HC, bring back Salah for DC.
Wait he really said he doesn’t understand the question. Like what professional at any level says that
They'll NEVER win a Super Bowl with KS as head coach. You can feel it. The players know it too.
I can't support the team any longer while Shanahan is at the wheel. I will no longer abuse myself in this manner. I KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA GET WITH THIS COACH....MEDIOCRITY!!!
Totally agree.
Kyle is 95% of the problem with the Niners, Jed's lack of balls accounts for the remaining 5%. Get rid of Kyle now while there are some coaching vacancies. He has the same number of SB wins as Tomsula and all the other HCs since Seifert.
I’m not a Niners fan, but I think Kyle Shanahan needs to be reset
I agree that Kyle has done many good things, but he is responsible for several failures going into this season causing the massive downfall. However, firing Steve Wilks was not one of them. Wilks was a total failure at every stop of his career including 2 very short stints at the collegiate level and getting fired at every stop.
The 49ers need to restock this roster or they will be a last place team for the next 3 seasons
I’ve always said the root of the problem starts at the top! Team has no chemistry, no oneness, not hold each other responsible, no real accountability; The coach rewards guys that complain in Social Media, forget to tackle, sloppy play and mistakes.. Jed should be doing something about it instead of rewarding them with 💰 including KS and Lynch.
Hope Kyle sees this!! Even if he does his Ego will walk up next to him, elbow him and chuckle.😅
Offense line, pass happy, and no teeth in front end of defense. FIX IT!!!!
Should 49ers try to go after Tyreek Hill in the off season?
Generally Speaking….
no CMC says it all also Jake joker caused 4 losses creating a Purdy panic!
Kyle lost that locker room…it’s time to move on from that egomaniac
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Grant do you think Purdy should be Prosecuted for Team Treason & Face the Death Penalty because you & Nick Wright think he's Such a 'BAD' Quarterback? You really should Stand Down on Brock! You do know you're slipping into irreversible insanity don't you?
We will never win a SB with him as our coach period
Facts
That’s the coach it’s almost almost like a mafia 2025 it’s going to be the same problems now they’re gonna have more problems because they’re gonna pay $60 million to a quarterback he’s need to have a lot of weapons to win a game 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that’s why I’m canceling my season tickets
Special team dl
PURDY having a downgrade year makes the list !
Kyle's strategy ancient history 😢. NFL moved on.
Fire Kyle Shanahan
Kyle only know how to run players into the ground! He is not a good head coach; and offensive coordinator, yes. He is there because of his dad, Mike Shanahan, who has three rings!
Pay Brock 62 million and let’s run it back to the Super Bowl next season
Bosa got to go he a MAGA no black players respect him
I will remind you I’m a Shanahan Dad won 2 super bowls we’ve been
2 Super Bowls too & countless division titles
We can look at the root of the problem all we want that’s the easy part especially when you’re office is in your living room on your couch! How bout giving solutions that you can actually make happen? Oh you can’t because you dont matter as none of us do! Wilks sucked quit kidding yourself
Well wrong about sam darnold being better than purdy not even close . Brock carved up the lions and sam folded. Also don't believe there's no interest in Purdy if the vikings can get brock that team would be very scary and he would fit like a glove
Then Lynch should be on the phone ASAP. Brock is NOT the answer for ANY franchise.
Grant's a dik
Kyle Shanahan is a Egotistical Narcissist who will never admit fault or take responsibility for his decisions 😮. The Bottom line is Kyle is Responsible for this Teams failures, He needs to take a long hard look in the mirror 🪞
I can personally now say Cohn that I 1,000 percent agree with what you are saying that the root of the problem is because it all starts with who is navigating the ship. 🛳👍GOOD CALL!!!
