Right after the game, I wanted everybody gone, MM, Dak, DQ. But after I talked myself off the ledge and calmed down, I thought maybe I had a knee jerk reaction. Don't get me wrong, I'm still sick about this. But, if we fire MM, what coach am I SURE will get us to the SB. I don't think there's one out there. Look at Belichik's last few years....not good. Harbaugh....he left the NFL for a reason. And struggled against OSU for years except for the last two. Vrabel....naww. Other OCs....possible but still a risk and it could be worst than the past few years. Then Dak....if he's replaced...with who? Trey Lance? Not sure...but there's definitely a learning curve and chemistry with receivers. Rush? No way. Rookie...very doubtful. Unless I'm ready to go into rebuilding mode, I just leave it as is. He did have an excellent season, just not so good of a playoff game. Defense stop them on half their drives and we may win. DQ? This is where I have to biggest problem. He is 0-6 against the Shanahan tree. Teams are gashing us on the ground cause we're too small at LB. Too many 6 DB sets. Poor decision making in that all season long you play man-to-man, then you go majority zone in the playoff game. I'm looking to see if we can upgrade here. Sam Williams makes bonehead plays, but the guy can rush the passer yet doesn't get many plays. Use Mikah as a LB more and move him around to rush the QB. DQ rarely blitz and sometimes gives QBs too much time in the pocket. If I make a change....I'm looking at DC.
