Reich should be fired now

Regarding Wilks, recent events have made me ponder something.

Suppose for a moment we had kept Wilks, and we proceeded (just as we did with Reich) to go after a quarterback...

Do we believe Wilks would have wanted Bryce Young?

If not, then does he just wind up in the same situation he had in Arizona?

Wilks would not cause he reminds me of Flores who had that QB with weak arms can not succeed in the NFL and then tried to sabotaged this career by starting Tua, who was still not 100% recovered from his injury, out of nowhere against the Rams, who had the best pass rushing defense at the time over Fitz who was NOT hurt and playing well. Even the players couldn't grasp that move. Tua was the ownership pick while Herbert was the HC pick and argued with the owner on this.

Now Tua is one of the top QB once they got playmakers around him. Wilks would probably use his heavy handed approach to convinced the owner to draft CJ over Bryce cause he doesn't believe in short QB or whatever which why most here wanted to retain Wilks cause of his brass emotionally charged temperament.

Guess what...once we get Bryce playmakers that every QB needs to succeed, our offense would be so much better. Its why i wanted us to get Jamo cause of the Bama connection chemistry they had.

Reich would not try to undermine Tepper choice at QB and even supportive of the decision which is why he was hired. I am glad too!

If Young was decided by Fitt or Tepper it doesn't matter who the HC is or was.  I do think Wilks would have kept a similar run first offense so our OL would look better.  Wilks has said he preferred Allen in that class so he would probably want AR this past year.  Whether that matters or not is a different story.

I just left the game, it was COLD, kicking a ball in that weather is like kicking concrete. There was NO WAY that FG was gonna work

You do know Reich has admitted in hindsight it was bad decision to kick a fg that far out. He is not stubborn like most coaches like PC or Belichick who would back their original decision when most everyone knows it was wrong. That's why i like Reich cause he is also modest and humbled. Can't have a better leader with those intangibles for me as a fan imo.

So what next?  Are we going to fire the next coach after halfway through the season if we're still terrible?  You can't start firing people during or after their first season, that hurts the team even more.  You'll get no stability within the staff if you're constantly hiring then firing people like that.  Plus it's just wasting money.  I disagree completely.

can't rule out that part of Reich getting the job over Wilks was just that. 

"I wanna draft a linebacker in the first."

"Okay, well, thanks for all you did." 

Definitely possible...

I could see that. And if so, then yeah it likely would have been Arizona Part Two

Why the hell did it require hindsight? I get the logic behind it but it was an incredibly stupid, desperate, short-sighted decision from the start that was the culmination of a bunch of ineptitude. It was the on-field admission that they know the offense is pathetic and are powerless to do anything about it, totally lost.

I don't give a crap if he 'admitted it' later. There are some decisions that are just so egregiously bad that there is no explanation other than utter stupidity, the kind that you don't ever want to see from a supposedly-professional coach.

Maybe, but we would probably look better because most of the schemes would be kept from last year.  Our OL would be a lot better and so would our running game.  It would make life easier for Young.  However it would be the same conservative play not to lose Rivera style.

I think any of the fans that have been following this team for the last couple years knew that Eddie was not going to make that kick.  No idea why the head friggin coach didn't know it.

I have just three words on the decision to try making a 59 yard field that was obviously out of this range.      

# 1 Stupid # 2 Stupid # 3 Stupid.

That depends pretty heavily on who he put in charge of the offense. Given their success last year, that very well could have been McAdoo. Also likely would have expected Al Holcomb to keep the DC spot.

For whatever you think of our current staff, I'm not especially convinced that one puts us in a much better spot.

Yeah, Tua hasn't scored more than 18 points and is 0-3 against team with winning records this year (Like the Chargers just broke even at 4-4). He is still looking like their weak spot that can put up great numbers against anything mediocre or less. 2 of those 3 loses where under 300 total yards on offense. 

You are not wrong about the mess that went down. That entire thing was wacky with Flores. 

[4Corners]

If Frank Wrong had any integrity and respect for the team and city - he would resign. It’s not in him any more.

 

Do the right thing and fall on the sword. Leave with dignity.

Feels like we are many seasons away from being competitive again. Very frustrating. Reich was definitely the wrong guy for the job.

Many NFL coaches make mistakes on game day unless can name me one active coach who hasn't. You are just targeting Reich cause you hate him but he cheat the game. You probably want Harbaugh to cheat us into the playoffs since we can't get there without doing that.
