Expect San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan to do a better job of wearing his face mask today while on the sidelines against the New York Giants. He was among five coaches who were fined $100,000 this past week for not properly wearing a face-covering during Week 2. The NFL also fined each coach's team $250,000. That brings the total amount of fines between the coaches and five teams to $1.75 million.
The other coaches were Vic Fangio of the Denver Broncos, Jon Gruden of the Las Vegas Raiders, Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints, and Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks.
Shanahan on Wednesday was asked about the hefty fine.
"I'm obviously disappointed,"
Shanahan responded. "I mean, no one ever wants to have to spend that kind of money. But the biggest disappointment was I think our organization has taken this stuff very seriously. I think our organization has been unbelievable with the protocols that we've done, and the ones that have been given to us, and what we've followed."
Shanahan, along with the other four coaches, has appealed the fine, according to
NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Their appeals will be heard this week.
"Obviously, I can do a better job during the game of wearing it," Shanahan continued. "I got the message, and I will do a better job. But I don't want to take away from the fact that of how good our organization has done with this stuff in the buildings, with all the players, how we've traveled, the money we've put into it to make it safe.
"But yeah, I got the message, and I will do better."

The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick.
