I never bought the logic that great players make great coaches.
If that logic is true, then the 49ers should fire Kyle Shanahan right now and hire Joe Montana to be their new head coach and OC. After all, he won 4 Super Bowls as a QB as well as 3 SB MVPs and was widely regarded by many as the GOAT until Tom Brady came along. With that resume as a player, Montana would be a phenomenal coach and guide the Niners to the Super Bowl almost every year just based on his knowledge of the game and track record as a player.

I think it was really really naive for so many fans to assume that just because Detmer won a Heisman trophy and was such an amazing college QB, that he would come here as an OC and just start tearing it up and turn us into an offensive juggernaut. We're learning first hand that great former players don't necessarily make great coaches.
