NINERS COACH Kyle Shanahan DROPS A SHOCKING MESSSAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO TEAM/FANS......

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Kyle Shanahan grew up around the NFL following his father from stop to stop on the coaching carousel before getting on it himself so he knows full well how rare it is to have a long stay at one spot.

That’s one reason why Shanahan feels fortunate about the stability he found in his first head coaching job with the San Francisco 49ers that was only reinforced when the team announced another contract extension for him last week.

“I feel very grateful,” Shanahan said Wednesday. “Just being a coach anywhere for a long time, I know what that means and extremely grateful for that to have that opportunity and mainly for my family to be somewhere for so long, which is cool. … I really like where we live and really like the people we work with, and they’re committed to giving us a chance to go for it every single year and that’s all I could ever ask for.”
