Kyle Shanahan prevailed, as his San Francisco 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers by a score of 37-20. Thus, he’ll be the latest former Washington Redskins coach to climb the mountain.
For two years in a row now, an ex-Redskins offensive coordinator has made it to the Super Bowl. Both coaches happened to be in the NFC. In 2018, Sean McVay led the Los Angeles Rams to the pinnacle, where they were bested by Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots. This year, Shanahan is representing the NFC, and many believe his 49ers squad is poised to take home the ultimate trophy.
