Prior to the 49ers game early in the season, it became apparent that Kyle Shanahan was really unhappy about what he and his father had been through in Washington, especially the final season in 2013. Kyle was passive-aggressive all week long in press conferences ahead of the game. He mentioned the positive relationships he formed with players and coaches as the Redskins offensive coordinator, and was then asked what the negatives were in the experience. Kyle quipped, “Everything else.”
It was reported that he gave the game ball from San Fran’s victory to his dad, former head coach Mike Shanahan, in some sort of symbolic gesture.
