Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi discuss the 49ers' hiring of former Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks as their next defensive coordinator. How does he fit in Santa Clara and why were the 49ers attracted to him? The guys also discuss the reported falling out between Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle Shanahan, but can you really blame Garoppolo? Wouldn't you be frustrated, too, if you were in his shoes?

Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi officially turn the page to the San Francisco 49ers' 2023 offseason a week after the team's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

(0:57) The guys start by handing out grades to Kyle Shanahan for the 2022 season. Was this past year his best as a head coach? Did the 10-game winning streak that ended the regular season make you forget about some of the early-season issues, specifically as it relates to Trey Lance's struggles and injury?

(15:23) With the season in the rearview mirror, what are the biggest offseason decisions awaiting Kyle Shanahan? If everything goes smoothly with Brock Purdy's expected surgery and recovery, there may not be an issue, but how does Shanahan handle his quarterback situation in training camp if, for whatever reason, Purdy's surgery or recovery is delayed? What if Trey Lance has a great offseason?

(26:30) The guys also react to Brandon Aiyuk's recent comments, in which he says he thinks the Kansas City Chiefs will be able to move the ball against the Eagles' defense. Does this come across as sour grapes to you or is this just a professional athlete speaking his mind?

On the latest episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi react to head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's end-of-season press conference from Wednesday.

(0:50) What did Shanahan's comments about Brock Purdy and Trey Lance tell you about how the 49ers expect this offseason to play out? Did Shanahan show his cards at all and might the 49ers have talked themselves into a corner if things don't go as planned this offseason? Plus, Shanahan poured water on any Jimmy Garoppolo-return rumors. Is that the best thing to do? Also, does Shanahan bear any responsibility for how often his quarterbacks get hurt?

(18:54) Despite what Shanahan and Lynch made it seem like, the 49ers quarterback situation this offseason isn't perfect. They're relying on two young quarterbacks who are both currently injured after suffering major injuries. How would you rate San Francisco's quarterback room? Plus, with Purdy's injury likely to sideline him until at least close to the start of training camp, how big of an opportunity is there for Trey Lance to prove his worth to Shanahan and the 49ers this offseason? The guys also discuss Shanahan and Lynch's unique head coach-general manager relationship.

(36:04) Shanahan and Lynch also addressed the team's opening at defensive coordinator, after DeMeco Ryans accepted an offer to become the Houston Texans next head coach. What are the 49ers looking for in a new coordinator and is their current staff deep enough to promote from within again? Also, Ryans' departure is just another example in a long list of minority coaching and front office hires coming from the 49ers organization. What can the NFL learn from San Francisco's success developing talent?

On the latest episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi discuss the latest drama swirling around the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback position.

(0:58) Brock Purdy suffered a torn UCL in his right elbow. The San Francisco 49ers are recommending surgery, but not the full UCL reconstruction (also known as 'Tommy John'), which would sideline him for an entire year. Rather, the 49ers think Purdy only needs UCL repair surgery, which would require a six-month recovery process before he was ready to practice and play fully without any limitations. What does this news mean for San Francisco's offseason? Might they look to improve their quarterback position from the outside?

(18:02) An outside option at quarterback was Tom Brady, but he announced his retirement 'for good' early Wednesday morning. The guys discuss his career if this is indeed the end and debate how his decision impacts the 49ers' offseason as they try to figure out their quarterback room before making any other offseason moves.

(31:04) Plus, the guys discuss Purdy's toughness and how silly arguments to the contrary were. But considering his injury, will he be the 49ers' Week 1 start in 2023? Who is more likely to start that game: Purdy or Trey Lance? Is a Jimmy Garoppolo return possible again?
