I think even a high schooler would know not to go on a plane that late lol. Stafford needs extra time to WD40 himself, for one thing. Just the dumbest thing.

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

I love my f**king coach

On the Rich Eisen show this morning, Steve Young said there are four top tier innovative coaches in the league and everyone else is trying to copy them.

Andy Reid
Shaun Payton
Sean McVay,
and Kyle Shanahan.

In a copy cat league, with parity being the goal, teams with the most innovative coaches will be the teams with the most consistently winning records.

I'm good with our guy.

Nah, I don't mind keeping Shanny as our HC (loved yesterday's game plan) as long as he's stripped of his GM powers and Lynch is not resigned.

Cheers

You loved it? You do realize the 9ers won 27-7 right?

This resigning is fantastic news....the LaCanfora interview got me worried...If Kyle is out of here, we are going back to the dark ages...dont get it twisted....

With KS locked up team will be good for a while!!!

Condolences to the Shanahan haters on here

after seeing this news, Kyle's not the only one who got an extension...

great news! go Niners!

BREAKING NEWS! Kyle Shanahan wins football games!

My God, reporters are really getting bad with this stuff. Signing a contract extension should come as no surprise whatsoever to any 49ers fan on this planet and the nearby planet of Mars. Because if football fans exist on the Red Planet, they are 49ers Fanatics. The most surprising part of this story, as with others, is there are no "leaks" coming out of 49ers HQ. They did have that problem. At one time. But, it is a problem no longer. This contract action took place some time ago. Either nobody leaked it, or reporters agreed not print anything until the team allowed it.

Damn Colin Cowherd compared us to Game of Thrones and I gotta hand it to him. That s**t was funny and so true. Great early, really good until the end then major disappointment and your favorite characters won't make it to the end.

Kyle was so good, he made Mcvay and his Rams wave the white flag with more than 3 mins remaining in the game

My entire twitter timeline is filled with football people debating dash motion and whether it's legal; and if it is, should it be banned?

where was this debate last year when Shanny initially unveiled it? Rams get ran over in a primetime game and all of the sudden the dash motion is a talking point…

Fresh out of the oven analysis from coach Casey on the play above. He calls it counter solid.

Creative way to get to "Counter Solid" from the 49ers 👌 pic.twitter.com/Epdok0ZnKU

That looked like the old Redskins counter trey, but instead of the Guard and tackle pulling, its the fullback and Tight end, basically (to me) pulling. - its a change up. A gap scheme play vs a wide zone play. Nice

If you aren't gonna make the tush push illegal when that's a far bigger violation of NFL rules.

Of course, a key part of the effectiveness of that motion is the initial action of the OL. Connor Colby mentioned in an interview, how important, and how difficult, it was to learn that quick first step that mirrors what Juice is doing in the backfield. Not just to take the step but for the entire OL to be in unison on the timing. If one guy messes up, it blows up the play.

Goes back to Bill Walsh's philosophy that you can mask player deficiencies with scheme. Walsh's influence was still there under Seifert when Mike Shanahan took over the offense, and Kyle learned it from his dad.
