Most 49ers fans believe it's merely a matter of time before Kyle Shanahan wins a Super Bowl. He already has been to three and he hasn't even turned 45 yet. But he lost each game and subsequently joined a group of coaches who never have won a Super Bowl.
He already has been to three and he hasn't even turned 45 yet. But he lost each game and subsequently joined a group of coaches who never have won a Super Bowl"Following the 49ers' overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, Shanahan became the fifth coach in NFL history to lose his first three Super Bowl appearances as a head coach or coordinator, per NFL Research. None of the previous four coaches ever won a Super Bowl.
And a major part of Kyle Shanahan's legacy is how he lost his three Super Bowls. In each game, he had an elite offense that got shut down. His offense never has scored more than 22 points in a Super Bowl, and he needed overtime to get to 22. In three Super Bowls, Shanahan's offense has scored a whopping 9 points in the fourth quarter. That will be his ultimate legacy unless he wins a Super Bowl.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Santa Rosa Press Democrat where he wrote the Inside the 49ers blog and covered famous coaches and athletes such as Jim Harbaugh, Colin Kaepernick and Patrick Willis.
