SANTA CLARA, Calif. — 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has been rumored as a candidate for the Bears’ opening at head coach, and as far-fetched because it sounded from the beginning, he made it sound even crazier Sunday.
“I don’t need to be anywhere on the earth greater than right here,” Shanahan stated after beating the Bears 38-13. “You guys are gonna need to kick me out of right here. There’s no manner I’m making that call.”
The Shanahan hypothetical would contain a uncommon commerce of a head coach, however that’s not going to occur if the coach himself is just not on board with the brand new job.
The Shanahan-Bears situation originated with NBC’s Mike Florio final week.
“I really feel like [Shanahan] is on the Andy Reid path the place he’s by no means going to achieve his full potential except he goes to a brand new crew,” Florio said on 670 The Score. “And his dad’s from Illinois. There’s type of an enchantment to that.
“What would you give as much as get Kyle Shanahan? It is best to at the very least have that dialog, as a result of the 49ers nearly traded Jim Harbaugh to the Browns 10 years in the past. Harbaugh stated no or else they might have performed it. Who is aware of? If [CEO] Jed York is considering making a change, this is perhaps a terrific alternative.”
Shanahan,is 70-58 with 4 playoff appearances with the 49ers.
