Sherman: Shanahan is Untouchable, 15+ Teams Want Him
12 Apr
Summary
- Richard Sherman believes Kyle Shanahan is not on the hot seat.
- Sherman suggests 15-20 NFL teams would hire Shanahan immediately.
- York would likely not fire Shanahan, making him available to rivals.
Richard Sherman, a former NFL player, has weighed in on the potential job security of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. Sherman adamantly stated that Shanahan would not be close to being on the hot seat, even if the team fails to make the playoffs in the upcoming season.
Sherman described Shanahan's situation as being on an 'iceberg,' implying extreme security. He further suggested that if Shanahan were to somehow face pressure, it would indicate a much larger crisis for other NFL coaches.
Highlighting Shanahan's perceived value, Sherman estimated that between 15 and 20 NFL teams would actively seek to interview him for their head coaching position. He posited that these franchises would be willing to fire their current coaches to pursue Shanahan.
Concluding his assessment, Sherman expressed doubt that the 49ers' ownership, specifically Jed York, would ever consider firing Shanahan and making him a free agent for rival teams. This suggests a strong belief in Shanahan's desirability across the league.
