One NFL team executive believes the San Francisco 49ers' 5-6 record is partially a product of Kyle Shanahan's coaching.
"It's a combination of injuries and then Kyle Shanahan's late-game management, blowing all those leads earlier in the season," the executive said to The Athletic's Mike Sando. "They look tired, like Manti Te'o was saying before the season. They had a year like this before (in 2020). I want them to do well because I don't want to see them get another stud in the draft after a down year."
With Brandon Allen playing at quarterback for an injured Brock Purdy, the Niners lost decisively, 38-10, to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
