The San Francisco 49ers have relieved Steve Wilks of his duties as defensive coordinator. This decision comes after the team's run to the Super Bowl, where they suffered another blown lead. Head coach Kyle Shanahan made the decision to let go of Wilks, who previously served as the head coach for the Arizona Cardinals. The Niners' defense had been struggling in recent months, particularly in rush defense, giving up an average of 137 yards per game. The discontent with Wilks stemmed from how he utilized the front seven of the defense. While people may want to attribute the decision to the Super Bowl loss, it seemed inevitable regardless.
