Deep dives
Steve Wilkes departure and the lack of scapegoating
Steve Wilkes' firing is not a case of scapegoating. There have been ongoing issues and disconnect between Wilkes and Kyle Shanahan for some time. Even if the 49ers had won the Super Bowl, Wilkes would likely have been replaced. Wilkes leaves with recognition as a respectable and capable coach, but it seems his style and vision did not align with the team's direction and requirements.
