Kyle Shanahan, Matt LaFleur among former Redskins thriving in playoffs

For the second year in a row, the NFC will be represented in the Super Bowl by a coach who used to be an assistant for the Washington Redskins.

After former Redskins coordinator Sean McVay made it last year with the Los Angeles Rams, next week’s NFC Championship will feature Kyle Shanahan’s San Francisco 49ers and Matt LaFleur’s Green Bay Packers. Both coaches were a part of Mike Shanahan’s staff from 2010 to 2013.

That guarantees the Super Bowl will feature at least one former Redskin.

Shanahan served as Washington’s offensive coordinator under his dad.
