The San Francisco 49ers’ latest loss to the Seattle Seahawks has sparked frustration and anger among fans, with many questioning the future of head coach Kyle Shanahan. After a tough 20-17 defeat at home, San Francisco’s record dropped to 5-5, putting them in a precarious position in the NFC West, with a dismal 1-3 divisional record.
This marks another disappointing loss for a team that came into the season with high expectations after falling short in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs just a year ago.
The loss to Seattle feels especially bitter because of the missed opportunity to gain a crucial win against a division rival. With the team struggling to find consistency this season, the fanbase is growing increasingly impatient. Some are calling for Shanahan’s job, pointing to the team’s recent string of underwhelming performances, questionable game management, and inability to close out games that they should have won.
The calls for Shanahan’s firing are not just about the loss to Seattle, but about a larger pattern of inconsistency under his leadership. Many fans feel that, despite his offensive ingenuity, Shanahan has failed to get the most out of his talented roster this season, especially with key players like quarterback Brock Purdy and star defensive players on the field. If the 49ers miss the playoffs entirely, or worse, fail to make a deep run despite their talent, the criticism of Shanahan could escalate, and fans will likely demand a change.
It’s clear that the 49ers’ future is on the line, and with a season already hanging by a thread, Shanahan’s job could be in jeopardy if the team continues to falter. How he responds to the adversity ahead will likely determine whether he remains the coach in 2025 or if the organization decides to make a change.
