The consensus here in the east coast is he’s a great coordinator, but not a good HC (I personally think he deserves a chance to coach somewhere else, inheriting the NJ Jets is no easy task). If the Niners don’t make the Super Bowl, and Saleh is looking for a coordinator job, it would be a no-brainer to bring him back, right? Just looking for some discussion/opinions.
No, it’s not a no-brainer. I’d say it’s not even an option, even if Saleh is available, unless Wilks gets another head coaching opportunity.
We were all frustrated by the defense during that 3 game losing streak, but they weren’t really that bad, just not as great as we expected them to be. They’re still a top 5 defense and they’re back to dominating now.
Thinking it’s a bad defense and we need to get rid of Wilks is like thinking Purdy is a system QB. It’s a narrative that isn’t based on facts. Maybe people are saying that in NY media, but they’ve been out of touch with everything 49ers for a while…
