Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay came to California five years ago, a pair of young coaches with a shared history and similar trajectories of taking on struggling teams.
Shanahan led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl in his third season and could lead them for the second time this year, but his former Washington colleague McVay stands in his way. McVay has had even more success, leading the Los Angeles Rams to the playoffs in his first season, to the Super Bowl the next, and to the playoffs in the next two, including the current one, in which he will face Shanahan’s 49ers. on Sunday for the NFL NFC title. In the matchup between the two, the 49ers have won the last six games, leading some to believe that McVay has a mental problem with his old friend.
