Shanahan, 49ers part ways with DC Wilks after first season
Briefly

(It's a) really tough decision because really it says nothing about Steve as a man or as a football coach. He's exactly what we wanted as a man. And he's a great football coach. But just where we're going, where we're at with our team from a scheme standpoint and things like that. Looking through it all throughout the year and these last few days, (I) felt pretty strongly this was the decision that was best for our organization.
Yeah, that was the hardest part. I knew that was the challenge. We committed to not only the system but the players within the system, the D-line, the linebackers. They'd played in it for such a long time. It was my goal to not have to change all of them.
