The 2023 NFL Season ended with the Super Bowl match-up between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, where the Chiefs emerged winners.
While this was an exciting day for the Chiefs, it was also a tough one for the San Francisco 49ers.
They were touted as the NFL’s best team throughout the season, having an elite defense and offense.
Despite all of the conversation surrounding them, the 49ers were unable to win the big game.
Now, they are in the offseason like every other team in the league, hoping to put the right pieces together to get the job done in 2024.
There are several roster questions the 49ers will need to answer before next season, but the team can feel confident that they will be moving forward with Kyle Shanahan as their head coach once again.
When looking ahead to the next few seasons, many people are confident in Shanahan’s role as head coach, including John Elway.
According to Elway via The Adam Schefter Podcast, “Kyle Shanahan’s going to win a World Championship at some time.”
Despite falling in the Super Bowl twice as a head coach, Elway believes Shanahan has the necessary skills to close this game out at some point in his career.
Shanahan is often touted as one of the best, if not the best coach in the NFL.
Many of his assistants and coordinators have gone on to get head coaching gigs, a testament to the kind of teacher and leader he is.
If he can take what’s in his mind and best communicate it to his players, there’s no telling what this team’s ceiling is moving forward.
