PALM BEACH, Fla. — Kyle Shanahan opted for a moment of diplomacy.
Asked Tuesday morning during the NFC coaches breakfast at the NFL owners meetings whether it’s been frustrating to watch his dad, Mike, get passed over several times for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the San Francisco coach smiled.
“I don’t want to upset anybody, so I’m not too frustrated,” he said. “I think it’s a matter of time.”
Mike Shanahan, of course, was a finalist in the coaching category each of the past two years. The winningest coach in Broncos history, however, has not yet heard his name called.
