San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan quietly inks new contract after team’s scandalized offseason

Kyle Shanahan didn’t just pick up a win during the San Francisco 49ers’ recent road trip to Melbourne, Australia. The 10th-year head coach also got himself a contract extension at a particularly welcome moment for the team. According to multiple reports, the 46-year-old son of two-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Mike Shanahan has received a multiyear extension with the Niners. Terms of the deal were not immediately released.The Daily Mail has sought comment from team officials.Shanahan has gone 83-67 over his decade by the Bay. Over that time, the 49ers have reached the playoffs six times, including two trips to the Super Bowl, both of which ended in defeat. The 49ers picked up a surprisingly easy 27-7 Week 1 win over the rival Los Angeles Rams – a team considered by many to be a Super Bowl contender. The victory was a welcome change for a team that has been decimated by injuries, including Shanahan’s own absence from training camp after a serious offseason car crash.The July 14 incident had been shrouded in mystery after Palo Alto police initially refused to release an accident report or bodycam footage while officers initially blamed the other driver only for Shanahan to ultimately take responsibility. Kyle Shanahan has reportedly received a new contract extension with the 49ers  Niners fans had reason to celebrate on Thursday night as San Francisco tormented LA Later it was revealed that Shanahan collided with a car driven by a 21-year-old woman, saying the crash occurred when he reached for his phone.The incident left Shanahan with a concussion, broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken hand and more than 40 stitches to close a cut over his eye. A few symptoms from the concussion remain.As he told reporters at training camp, Shanahan was driving at around 20mph with his Tesla in autopilot mode when the crash happened. In autopilot mode, Tesla ‘matches the speed of your vehicle to that of the surrounding traffic’ and ‘assists in steering within a clearly marked lane, and uses traffic-aware cruise control.’But Shanahan insisted he still should not have taken his eyes off the road when he reached behind his seat for his phone.’I’ve had autopilot for nine years, so I’m pretty comfortable with it,’ he said. ‘Who knows what happened when I turned around, whether it malfunctioned or whether I knocked it off. That’s something that I don’t know yet.’But regardless, that is always your fault, whether you’re in autopilot or not. You can’t take your eyes off the road. It’s a partnership driving. The 49ers’ offseason was marred by Jeff York’s arrest and guilty plea for disorderly conduct’You don’t just turn it over to a computer. It’s a good lesson, no matter how comfortable I am with that, that I believe someday could save my life or someone else’s.’Shanahan was the only person who needed to be hospitalized and police didn’t issue him a ticket for the cell phone use.And of course, the car crash was the least of the 49ers worries after top executive Jed York was arrested after allegedly trying to pay $140 for sex at an Ohio trailer park. The 46-year-old pleaded no contest to charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. He was sentenced to one day in jail and fined $1,150.For his part, Shanahan has tried to claim that York’s arrest is ‘irrelevant’ to his players, while linebacker Fred Warner insisted it wasn’t a topic of conversation in the locker room.
