49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to the media Monday on a conference call to provide injury updates. He discussed linebackers coach Johnny Holland, who announced that the multiple myeloma cancer he first got in September of 2019 has returned. Starting on September 6, Holland will take some time away from the team to receive treatment.
Shanahan raved about Holland, the coach and the person, and how he’s made everyone better, but, more importantly, how genuine of a human Holland is.
Shanahan ended by saying, “whenever he’s ready to come back and coach, we’ll welcome him.
