Interesting fall guy. Kyle's offense didn't exactly get it done either. I think holding Patrick Mahomes to just 19 points in 4 quarters was pretty good. San Francisco just needed to punch it into the end zone in OT, and they didn't. Wonder who the successor will be.
It might be more than the SB game as we have to remember that the whole team admitted that the defense didn't do good job in the playoffs prior to SB. Maybe Kyle felt like Wilks didn't do a good job of preparing the team during playoffs. Nonetheless, it's interesting move since the defense played pretty well throughout the season.

I wonder if he's not a fall guy, but instead there was a similar situation to the Giants. Maybe Wilks second guessed Kyle's play calling and it escalated to 'this town ain't big enough...'?

Kyle had Saleh and Ryans before Wilks, they were pretty good on D. He made Wilks move from the both to the field after a few losses mid-season, Wilks is a pretty good DC but lacks the energy of the other 2, I think it comes down to trading for Chase, Gregory, getting Sebastian-Day on waivers, signing Logan Ryan and not producing a championship. Unfortunately it was easy to make Wilks the scapegoat.

I see why his ass got fired. I want no DC that's doing shit like this is a crucial game.

He was fired b/c he didn't get it done, he wasn't just a scapegoat. The defense got worse even though the team had more talent than previous year.

SF had the 8th ranked defense. #3 against the run. Yes they were middle of the pack against the pass, but they held Mahones and KC to 3 points in the first half.
Shanahan needs to accept that he is not the boy genius and not find scapegoats for his failures.

I think you hate the 49ers more than I hate the Cowboys. That's wild stuff.

Yeah, I don't get the hate for Shanahan guys. Snyder was the one who messed up everything for everyone including Shanahan guys.
