I think the demise of the 49ers is being exaggerated just a smidge. Sure, they lost a good HC and some good players, but there's still plenty of talent on that squad.
- Kaepernick is still a competent (and dynamic) QB
- Carlos Hyde + Reggie Bush makes for a solid backfield
- Torrey Smith, Boldin and Vernon Davis is still a solid group of pass catchers
- Arik Armstead, Glenn Dorsey and Darnell Dockett can be a good d-line
- They still have NaVorro Bowman and Aldon Smith at LB
Unless these new coaches are terrible, I think 6 wins is their floor and 8-10 wins is realistic, even in a tough division.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
