SANTA CLARA, Calif. — 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan has been rumored as a candidate for the Bears’ opening at head coach, and as far-fetched as it sounded from the start, he made it sound even crazier Sunday.

“I don’t want to be any place in the world more than here,” Shanahan said after beating the Bears 38-13. “You guys are gonna have to kick me out of here. There’s no way I’m making that decision.”

The Shanahan hypothetical would involve a rare trade of a head coach, but that’s not going to happen if the coach himself is not on board with the new job.
