[@crimson49er]

Thank the football gods for gifting Kyle & the Shanahan's to the 49ers & the fans. What a great time to be a 49er fan!

I give Mike Tirico a lot of respect. There aren't many great interviewers anymore they all try to steal the scene, interrupt their interviewees, and don't let people finish their answers. This was a great interview and Mike is definitely a first class interviewer.

[@mp3677]

Amen to that!!!

That's how the 49ers became his favorite team. Our own coach been a Faithful since a child 🤙

[@kensmok6045]

Kyle is no doubt one the best coaches in the game, wherever he goes the offense is always on point.

[@invincibleforce533]

Congratulations to both of you; Mr. and Mrs. Shanahan!! You did a heck of a job raising a kid under that kind of pressure and expectations. God bless you and your family.

Before the 49'rs hired kyle, joe montana and steve young wanted mike. Both great coaches.

[@jgood4010]

It all makes even more sense now

[@916Smoke]

Raider fan here love these two Mike and Kyle my team wasn’t good enough this year to make the playoffs but I’m rooting for the 49ers to win it all. Shanahan clan are great. Great interview. Mike contributed to the league and now his son is go get it Kyle!

[@Fernando-wo1wy]

How has this guy not been handed a gm position, always finding great players in later rounds

[@coreylevine3856]

you talking about Denver

[@elguero9279]

Maybe a scout? Would allow him to remain somewhat retired/handsoff

[@hiphopguru81]

Mike Shanahan is secretly coaching the 2019 49ers. Awesome! !

[@Tackleqb]

He has definitely been a secret assistant coordinator for sure. Most people don’t know this but he is most def helping the niners in the background

[@hiphopguru81]

Tackleqb for sure. Mike has an elite playbook. Superbowl shit. Haha

[@masonmcconnell9375]

i agree but kyle is on another level him self just a bonus to have his dad also.

[@topflightstyle4141]

That was a no brainer. Jack Harbaugh has been covering his sons teams for years. Nothing new. They inherited the jobs.

Always liked mike shanahan.very tough minded head coach but also showed kindness to his players.i remember his bronco teams and pulling for elway to get that ring during his last few years.too notch coaching in that family forsure.

Just give Kyle a lifelong contract now. Dude is a Niner Faithful like all of us.

[@kaidonspare6416]

He had one good season in 4 years...

I met Peggy Shanahan years ago in Oklahoma City. She was in town for a charity event. Being a Broncos fan growing up, it was pretty cool. She is a very nice lady. I will definitely be pulling for Kyle's niners on Super Bowl Sunday .

[@juanpenate8785]

I was particularly interested in what Mike had to say about Kirk Cousins, starting at 17:19

[@jonq8714]

If you were to ask me to guess Mrs. Shanahan's name, Peggy would have been one of my guesses. Also, I love that Mike is a defacto assistant coach, I have a lot of respect and love for him for how he called one of the most prolific offenses of all time in the 1994 49ers, it gives me great comfort.

[@99leeray]

Great interview.
