The 49ers are not getting rid of head coach Kyle Shanahan any time soon.
Shanahan and the 49ers have agreed on a new contract that extends him for six more seasons, through 2025, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The deal gives the 40-year-old Shanahan some of the strongest job security in the NFL, and is a major statement from 49ers ownership that they believe Shanahan is the kind of coach they want leading their franchise for many years.
Shanahan went just 6-10 in his first season leading the 49ers and 4-12 in his second, and there was some talk heading into his third season that he was on the hot seat. But in Year 3 in 2019, the 49ers went 13-3 and got to the Super Bowl. Shanahan proved he was building a winner, and the 49ers rewarded him.
