Even before San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan became the subject of some interesting trade rumors during this past regular season, some suggested his history of postseason heartbreaks showed he would never lead the franchise to the type of success the Kansas City Chiefs have enjoyed under Andy Reid.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan faced a wave of criticism and calls for him to be fired after the team went 6-11 this year and failed to make

The 49ers' Super Bowl window may have just closed for a while. They were one of the most dominant teams in the NFL from 2019 to 2023. But now they're old.

The 49ers seem to have decided that Brock Purdy is their franchise quarterback. To Purdy's credit, he went to the Super Bowl in his first full season.

Kyle Shanahan’s criticisms are that he’s lost a couple of Super Bowls? OK, do you know how hard it is to get to the Super Bowl? Under Shanahan, the 49ers are 78-66, including playoffs.

The 49ers want linebacker Dre Greenlaw back in 2025, if they can work out the right deal. Greenlaw barely played this season because of lingering issues after he tore his Achilles tendon in last year’s Super Bowl, but coach Kyle Shanahan said today that the team hopes Greenlaw will remain in San Francisco.

One former NFL assistant coach believes the San Francisco 49ers parting ways with Kyle Shanahan would be a huge mistake.

SANTA CLARA — Maybe, just maybe, this is the next evolution of Kyle Shanahan. Perhaps this is the form the ninth-year and now beleaguered 49ers head coach — who sat at the dais at Levi’s Stadium, unshaven and gaunt after a Super Bowl-or-bust season turned into a six-win, never-sniffed-the-playoffs nightmare — has always needed to take.

John Lynch, coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy have made it clear that they intend to reach an agreement with the hope that it will be done sooner than later.

Shanahan, McVay, Sirianni, LaFleur — have one thing in common: They do what they do best and build productive offenses. Everything else seems to fall into place after that.

But it also proved to be inspired, with McVay leading the team to the Super Bowl in just his second year on the job. It was the start, or at least the key inflection point, of a dramatic shift in hiring across the NFL.

As the Kansas City Chiefs solidified themselves as the NFL’s newest dynasty, they’ve left a wake of destruction across a league that has struggled to keep pace. Three Super Bowl victories have helped quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid secure their legacies among the all-time greats.
