The San Francisco 49ers, normally a juggernaut among the NFL’s best teams, are in the midst of a lost season. They are 5-7 and in sole possession of last in the NFC West. The roster has been decimated by injuries, with 48 games missed by former Pro Bowlers.
The 49ers are a team looking for answers, which has led to rumors outside the building of potentially moving on from head coach Kyle Shanahan. Whether via trade or outright firing him, the idea has gained traction.
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio pitched the idea that the Chicago Bears should inquire about trading for Kyle Shanahan. Florio points to Mike Shanahan, Kyle’s father, a Chicago native, and a ‘what do you have to lose’ mindset.
The worst the 49ers can say is no, right?
