On the 49ers side of the field, the Washington Redskins will be represented by head coach Kyle Shanahan, who was the team’s offensive coordinator from 2010 to the end of 2013. Shanahan has since gone on to lead incredibly efficient offensive units in Atlanta and on the west coast, and he enters this Super Bowl as a young head coach reaching his peak.
On the other side of the field, in the Kansas City Chiefs contingent, there are no direct coaching ties to the Redskins. But in the locker room, and particularly in the defensive backs room, the Redskins are well-represented.
