San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan responds to criticism regarding his ability to win big games after a second Super Bowl loss in five seasons. The firing of defensive coordinator Steve Wilks follows the recent Super Bowl defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite reaching the Super Bowl twice in recent years the Niners have faced challenges in securing the ultimate prize.

Shanahan defends the team’s ability to win big games and expresses eagerness to address the criticisms. The decision to part ways with Wilks is explained as Shanahan seeks a coordinator better suited to the team’s defensive talent. The 49ers while confident in their core acknowledge the uncertainties of returning to this stage in the next season.
