From here, whither do the 49ers go?
Under Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers have been able to find an explanation for their failures each time. Nick Bosa was held, but they lost. Jaquiski Tartt missed an interception, but they still lost. They were defeated, but Brock Purdy was hurt. With a fantastic coach and squad, the 49ers would have been champions by now if those things hadn’t happened. All they are is the victims of misfortune.
Not at this moment.
They must now confront their head coach. Since the 49ers had the best football roster this past season—a consensus that was reached by all—and they eventually secured the top seed for the first time since 2019. It is uncommon for the athletes to manage their business and remain mainly healthy.
Furthermore, the 49ers defence fared far better in the Super Bowl than it did against the Chiefs four years prior, when it allowed 31 points. This time, in four quarters, the defence only allowed the Chiefs to score 19 points. The match then entered overtime. The toss was won by the 49ers. Subsequently, Shanahan committed the greatest error in Super Bowl history. He made the initial request for the ball.
The 49ers players are unable to view Shanahan in the same way now. He can still find a way to screw things up even when they can accomplish nearly everything perfectly, like they did this past season.
Don’t be shocked if Shanahan loses the locker room if the 49ers have a sluggish start to the upcoming season. He might already be lost.
