The San Francisco 49ers recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons as they decided to part ways with defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed that the team believed it was necessary to go in a different direction, stating that Wilks was not a suitable fit. NFL analyst Craig Carton suggested that Rex Ryan would be the ideal candidate to take over the defense, emphasizing that Ryan missing out on joining the Dallas Cowboys might actually be a fortunate turn of events for him. Carton proposed that if Ryan were to go to San Francisco, he could make a significant impact on the defense and potentially lead the team to a Super Bowl victory. The question now arises as to who should replace Steve Wilks as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator. According to Carton, the obvious answer is Rex Ryan. He believes that Ryan’s proven defensive expertise combined with the opportunity to coach a talented defense in San Francisco could make him the hottest head coaching candidate in the league. It remains to be seen if John Lynch and Shanahan will reach out to Ryan and offer him the chance to make a successful comeback to the NFL.
