Stability in San Francisco: The 49ers quietly signed Kyle Shanahan to a contract extension in the offseason, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

Shanahan was previously believed to be signed through 2027. Now, one of the NFL's top coaches is locked up for years to come. pic.twitter.com/ZQxFBdH9pb

Had to load up with Super teams to win one and still needed us to be banged up and tripping over our feet in order to do it while also facing one of the weakest AFC Champs in like the last 2 decades.

Dude is outcoached by Kyle way too often(even in that Rams playoff win - that was a 49er f up and Stafford win)

Exactly. This is the bigger picture, I have been saying this, that the Rams/Stafford/McVay just don't really deserve the love. *Everything* had to go their way to get one.

I b--tch lots about Kyle when he loses SBs and in the off-season, was not happy with the way we played Seattle.
And I sometimes dnt feel like watching the next season..blah blah, bit-ch piss and moan lol but give me Kyle all f**king day over McVay. Kyle can play the grindy ass, hard fought games, McVay.. kinda has to have everything go right. He is like the Princess and the Pea of coaches.

I like Kyle but he has to make better decisions late in the game in those big games. I like how we extended him. The 49ers have been the most successful football franchise overall than any other team.

Kyle missed a block in the sb with a guy wide open? Kyle missed a wide open wr in the other sb late?

Time and time again, Kyle calls plays that work if executed properly. I'm not sure what else you're asking him to do? Call a different play that will also work if executed??

Kyle covered a short out route instead of dropping back to his deep third that left Hill wide open on a corner route also.

Don't forget Kyle didn't fall back to his proper mark and allowed a 3rd and 15 conversion.

When I heard the Rams showed up late to Australia, I was like ok, yeah, this is probably going to affect them and they are dumb as s**t to do that. And I was like, who's idea was it to go that late? Long ass plane ride, with Nick f**king Bosa waiting to run your asses over and it's like, yeah, we gunna wing it? Lol sorry ass Rams.

Agreed I also think Sean being kind of a low level guy at the time of his hire with the Rams having a bit more continuity ensured a more successful front office situation. Sean does the coach stuff, Snead is the GM who brings in the guys for Sean to coach.

All of the disaster we had here after the Harbaugh firing and Kyle being such a hot commodity after what he did for Atlanta basically allowed him to come in with whomever he wanted cuz he was going to call all the shots.

Have to wonder what happens if we bring in George Paton with Kyle and let Paton shop for groceries under Kyle's specs.

Either way right now Shanahan should have 2 SB wins with the 49ers if the officiating is at least consistent or we don't lose key plays running onto the field.

That would be the brilliant greatest coach in the nfl Sean "I was player of the year in high school over Calvin Megatron Johnson" McVay

Kyle gets blame because he chooses these players and has final say over personnel. I'm happy with him getting extended but would love to see him have a real GM and change their process

Such a great news for the Niners. Kyle is phenomenal.

The issue wasn't the players. It's the players not doing their jobs or not executing. Kyle isn't a psychologist or puppeteer. He put them in positions to succeed and they failed.

It doesn't mean we can't poke holes in his decision making whether coaching or talent evaluation/strategy but let's also not ignore those things.

The roster Kyle put together and coached have been good enough to win SBs. They just didn't. Sometimes the other team just makes more plays than you. Sometimes your players don't make the plays they should.

Let's hope Kyle and the team finally break through very soon. The man has consistently shown he can put the team in a position of success on the field even with critical injuries...but boy would we have an easier go of it if we can just stay healthy!

Any talk of Kyle's seat being hot or warm were b******t. ... Kyle's seat exists on the ice planet of Hoth.

People might think that I'm crazy, but even if all the current stars eventually age out, It wouldn't surprise me if they gave Kyle a chance to rebuild. The question would be whether that would be with Lynch or not?
