It’s harsh, but true. Vic Fangio is going to have to fight to keep his job come January and it’ll be due to his poor choices at coordinator running the offense and special teams.
Everyone should point back to 2019 when Rich Scangarello found a way to make it easy for Drew Lock to get positive plays on offense helping the team finish 4-1 down the stretch. That finish gave us all hope for 2020, but Fangio decided to fire Scangarello to bring in a more experienced playcaller in Pat Shurmur.
At the time we were surprised he retained special teams coordinator Tom McMahon and fired Scangarello, but most of us were optimistic with that 4-1 finish and looked forward to 2020.
