Kyle Shanahan's recent remarks about kicker Eddy Pineiro reeks of a situation 49ers fans know all too well.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed frustration regarding kicker Eddy Pineiro's early-season struggles, stating that he would not attempt to teach the specialist how to make kicks. Despite the team's undefeated start through six games, Pineiro has converted only six of nine field goal attempts and missed three extra points.

The writer suggests that if Pineiro does not resolve his kicking troubles soon, Shanahan and general manager John Lynch could be forced to seek another replacement.
