On one hand, 49ers second-year coach Kyle Shanahan is upset his team is teetering on irrelevancy just six weeks into the season. On the other, he’s optimistic San Francisco is better than its 1-4 record indicates, even with Jimmy Garoppolo out for the year with a knee injury.
“The way we finished (2017), I totally expect people to be more frustrated because I think people did have higher expectations going into this year,” Shanahan said this week.
Shanahan doesn’t believe the season is lost, which he made evident by his message to his team after losing three straight games.
