OT: Niners execution. -

Five turnovers today. FIVE! Two deep in their own territory that gave up six early points; three in goal to go situations (I think). Horrible execution.
In their first two games, they had FIVE TDs called back on penalties. FIVE!!! Horrible execution.
Oh by the way, they're 3 and 0. Good, well-coached teams find a way to win.

I don't equate "good execution" to mean no turnovers. I think good execution is about a team having consistently effective blocking and tackling.

No. Of course you wouldn't. . . .
By the way, what would you call snapping the ball into the facemask of a wide receiver in motion? How about missing the QBs hands on a snap under center? A series of unfortunate events?

So, Shaw found a way to win at a level at Stanford that none of us have witnessed before. Was he then a good coach? And now because for the first time in his career they have lost three straight is he a lousy coach?
I get the disappointment. And I would agree with you that they need to make some changes perhaps moving forward. But I think you’re a little over the top.

Sometimes, even on a sports board, that may be what's required.
Twas mentoring a CEO last week who's sales team is at 10% of expectations. He was concerned about accountability within his team, but was worried about micromanaging if he got too involved. The dude's in a crisis and doesn't realize it; he could lose the job and the company. Did everything possible to light a fire under the guy. Good guy. Great ethics. Right guy for the company. Just needs a kick in the ass from a somewhat impartial observer.
When I hear comments like "I don't have a panic button", I feel like we've Edward Smith as a head coach. We've looked like crap for four weeks out of four this year. Somebody needs to hit a panic button and sound the alarm. Our coach, who appears to be a good guy, has great ethics, and is the right guy for the team, needs a kick in the ass.

No need to get personal.
Every team has player (s) who will make mistakes such as a bad center snap, fumbled ball, dropped pass , off sides etc... But in general I think "lack of execution" refers to the team not executing plays as they were designed, and this usually comes from lack of blocking. For example, Stanford's receivers are not getting open because they don't have time to run their routes, and that is due to lack of line of scrimmage blocking. Christian McCaffery and Bryce Love were able to rack up yards because they received line of scrimmage as well as downfield blocking, which is good execution of plays.
Against Oregon Stanford's defense executed fairly well, including getting to the ball carrier, fundamentally sound tackling, preventing long yardage plays.

Niners were 4-12 last year. Did Shanahan take a magic coaching pill in the offseason to make him a great coach? He is also responsible for the quality of the training staff so does he get a pass for injuries to key players in any given year?
