Mike Shanahan looked natural wearing a 49ers-issued grey sweatshirt and black shorts Wednesday, when he showed up to watch practice for the first time since his son, Kyle, became the 49ers’ coach.
How many years ago did the elder Shanahan roam these fields, 1992-94?
“Yeah, and we played a little into ’95,” Mike Shanahan replied with a smile.
A shiny, silver reminder of that January 1995 workload sits in the 49ers lobby: their last of five Lombardi Trophies, won with a 49-26 rout of the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX.
