With the SF 49ers playing the LA Rams this week, questions about who is better, Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan, have once again popped up.
No, the SF 49ers didn’t make a mistake hiring head coach Kyle Shanahan instead of another candidate they interviewed back in 2017, now-Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay.
But with the 4-6 Niners set to take on the 7-3 NFC West-leading Rams in Week 12, it was only a matter of time before analysts and pundits out there started calling out questions about a possible mistake in San Francisco’s hiring choices.
