The Niners are still searching for the defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator, what is taking so long? Why are they not linked to other possible candidates like Dennis Allen or Gus Bradley?Plus, an intense discussion about Brock Purdy and how he compares to the QBs who are in the playoffs, do the failures of Sam Darnold and Justin Herbert help or hurt or maybe not matter as it relates to Purdy's contract.Plus, lots of numbers, scenarios and details are debated as the offseason continues.
The Niners have earned an A+ so far, 3 days into the offseason. They have fired their Special Teams Coordinator, Brian Schnieder, and fired/reassigned their Defensive Coordinator, Nick Sorenson.

It's hard to see the positives.What if anything can be done? Todd and Jerry discuss it all.
Brock Purdy look really good (350+ yards passing). Jake Moody looked really bad (3 missed FGs).We saw the return of CMC and it was impressive. He could be the spark plug needed for the stretch drive, not only in the red zone, but his receiving ability was in full display.George Kittle might be having the best season of his career.And even with all of that, it took a monster effort from Juaun Jennings to get into FG range for Moody to hit the game winner as time expired.It was survive and advance to play the Seahawks this coming week.
