   Kyle Shanahan believes Wilks and his defense are the problem.   
   Not Shanahan's offense, which has scored only 17 points three   
   games in row.   
      
   Kyle Shanahan couldn't throw Steve Wilks under the bus fast   
   enough this season.   
      
   First, when the 49ers were 5-1, Shanahan publicly criticized   
   Wilks at halftime of the 49ers' loss to the Vikings for calling   
   a blitz that resulted in a touchdown for Minnesota. Now,   
   Shanahan is making Wilks leave the coach's booth and call plays   
   from the sideline, as if that will make a difference.   
      
   All of this shows that Shanahan believes Wilks and his defense   
   are the problem. Not Shanahan's offense, which has scored only   
   17 points three games in row.   
      
   What adjustments will Shanahan make?   
      
   Apparently, the answer is none. He traded for another edge   
   rusher in Chase Young and has moved Wilks' play-calling   
   location, and now the 49ers are supposed to be fine. They just   
   needed some tweaks on defense. The offense will take care of   
   itself.   
      
   Moving Wilks from the booth to the sideline is a cosmetic   
   change, nothing more. And it's not a logical cosmetic change. At   
   one point, the 49ers were 5-0 with Wilks calling plays from the   
   booth, and the defense was playing well. That was just a few   
   weeks ago. No one was saying Wilks needed to move to the   
   sideline then. Now that they've lost a few games in a row and   
   have had a total team meltdown, the solution is to move one   
   person on game day? That's ridiculous.   
      
   Shanahan is so quick to scapegoat others, whether it's his   
   defensive coordinator or his quarterback. It's time he takes   
   accountability for his team. That's what head coaches do.   
      
   Moral of this story, don't hire black coaches.
