NFL Week 14 - The post-Jim Harbaugh 49ers were a wasteland. Both Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly stumbled badly, with poor leadership just exacerbating the talent drain caused by years of poor Trent Baalke drafts. The 49ers joined the Browns as the only teams in football with DVOA below -20.0% in both 2015 and 2016. They were the only two teams with seven or fewer wins over those two seasons. And when you're getting compared to the Cleveland Browns, you know something has gone horribly, horribly wrong.
For their fourth coach in four years, the 49ers turned to Kyle Shanahan, hotshot coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons.
