49ers cornerback Richard Sherman appreciates the differences between Kyle Shanahan and the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll.

It shouldn’t be too surprising the San Francisco 49ers re-upped head coach Kyle Shanahan with a new contract, keeping him around through the 2025 season.

For a head coach who is only a few years older than his most veteran players, the 40-year-old Shanahan has done plenty to ensure the Niners’ turnaround from a two-win team in 2016 all the way to a conference champion three seasons later.
