Kyle Shanahan is widely regarded as one of the NFL’s most elite coaches and ahead of the San Francisco 49ers’ NFC Championship game, we’re taking a look at his career honors, current salary and total earnings to determine Shanahan’s net worth.
Kyle Shanahan Career Honors
Shanahan, born December 14, 1979 in Minnesota (aged 44), was destined to lead the San Francisco 49ers from his youth.
He attended high school in Saratoga, California while his father worked as an offensive coordinator for – you guessed it, the 49ers.
He bounced between locations such as Denver, where his father was given the head coaching role with the Broncos. Shanahan played at wide receiver in college at the University of Texas, catching 14 passes for 127 yards in his three-year tenure.
Shanahan entered the coaching world with UCLA in 2003, before landing his first NFL job as an offensive quality control coach. Later, he spent time with the Houston Texans, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons – serving as offensive coordinator for each.
In 2017, he was appointed head coach of the San Francisco 49ers on a six-year deal. This year, he was named a back-to-back AP Coach of the Year finalist after finishing in second place last season.
The 49ers have been a dominant force in the NFL for many years now and Shanahan’s reputation is up there with the best – but he’ll be desperate to capture a Super Bowl and etch his name into history.
He boasts a 7-3 record in the postseason, most notably leading San Francisco to the Super Bowl four years ago – where Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs won the first ring of their new-found dynasty.
Four of Shanahan’s seven years in charge of the 49ers have seen at least ten wins recorded, including 12 this season and 13 in both 2022 and 2019. San Francisco will feel now is the perfect time to put the cherry on top of an impressive era with a championship.
According to the best NFL sportsbooks, the 49ers are outright favorites to win next month’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
