Yes wilks would be fired.  A personality problem.  Boss wins

I agree with Bob.  Regardless of the outcome of the games, Wilks was toast for reasons Shanahan cited in his press conference (Shanahan wants the D coached from front to back, Wilks coached from back to front).

Great. Hope they can fix the 20th-ranked OL issues, the 3 for 12 3rd down conversions, figuring out a way to pay for Aiyuk and the special teams fiascos. Cause those coaches are still there. And the 49ers led the NFL in interceptions with 22, most since they had 23 in 2011. I'm guessing their former DC/defensive backfield specialist had a little bit to do with that. We'll see if they exceed that number next year.

Pretty good article in The Athletic on Wilks.  Just a bad fit.    The Niners have run the same defense for years.  Heavy cover 3.  Based on what Seattle did defensively for years.  Wilks was not well versed in that defense when he came to SF.

In the past, Niners built defense from the d-line back.  Wilks builds from the d-backs to the front.

He also had a different personality - not as fiery.

 And watching their defense this year, it was obvious it wasn’t clicking.  They were poor against the run, especially last half of the season.  Niners had been very stout  against the run for years. It was one of their hallmarks.  And they couldn’t get off the field.  One of the worst defenses in football on 3d down.

Wilks is a good defensive coach.  He just wasn’t a good fit.

yes yes yes and yes.
