This decade of 49ers football rolled into championship contention from 2011-13, and now the 49ers have rediscovered that form to clinch a playoff berth this season.
In between those Lombardi Trophy hunts were far too many losses, rapid-fire coaching changes, an Australian rookie experiment (g’day Jarryd Hayne) and a national anthem controversy.
This season’s turnaround began with an 8-0 run, sweeping away those 2014-18 embers.
So, 10 years, five coaches? Really? Yep, they went from Mike “I Want Winners” Singletary to Jim “Who’s Got It Better Than Us?” Harbaugh. Then came one-and-done cameos by Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly.
