And at that, Shanahan's personnel guy (Goodman) has done a superb job the last two years - probably better than anyone in the league. You'll note that while Shanahan was fired, we kept his personnel guy - effectively making him the team's GM.

It's definitely going to be odd not seeing him on the sideline, but I am fine with the change. Shanahan built a nice offense, but the defense... man, that has been a big pile of stink for years and ultimately that is why I'm fine with the change.
It's interesting that they are keeping Dennison and Tuner - good for them, but I really hope they focus a bulk of that cap space and draft on the defense this offseason.
I'm tired of the FA misses on guys like Robertson, let's try something new.
Offensively, let's focus on that primary RB once again and keep a number of the guys we have now as insurance.
It's going to be interesting and I think it will be good. A lot of key pieces to the puzzle are there, now fix the defense.
