The debate about DS’ coaching is in full swing. Can we step away from our emotions and do an analytical postmortem on the debacle. For me, it looks like this: I am going simplistic to facilitate the discussion.
Harbaugh turns the program around and leaves For greener pastures.
Bowlsby chooses Shaw to replace him. Odd choice to some as DS had been demoted by Harbaugh and some insiders weren’t sold on the relative strength of the choice since Stanford could have attracted most targets. Bowlsby told me Peterson was on the list but things didn’t pan out. No details shared.
DS takes over and has a great run. Coaching staff seems solid with a combo of College and Pro types. Booties wonder about play calling prowess and game mojo ( my beef).
Things start going sideways with QB management issues and predictability on Offense despite having the most complex play book in America.
Covid and Santa Clara County make a tough job tougher and the gap v other programs grows. Brother’s sickness interferes with Coach’s focus. Transfer portal and defections blind side fan base.
Jack West is crowned QB 1 after a “tough spring and summer competition” to the consternation of fans everywhere. Awful season especially on D culminates with losing RB1 and 2. Fan base calls for major changes in coaching staff. DS does nothing.
Now, this shit show of a season.
WTF happened. Has there ever been a fall from grace so steep.
