"Steve Wilks Fired as Kyle Shanahan Shifts Focus to Offense in 2024"

Steve Wilks, the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, was fired despite helping the team reach the Super Bowl and hold the Chiefs to 19 points in overtime. Speculation suggests that head coach Kyle Shanahan, known for his offensive expertise, may have wanted to relieve himself of defensive responsibilities by hiring a Seattle/Cover Three expert to handle the defense, potentially leading to Wilks' dismissal.
