Shanahan has certainly earned it. Though he’s only 23-25 since taking over as the coach of the 49ers, he led them to a 13-3 season and a Super Bowl appearance in only his third season at the helm. The Niners are clearly convinced that his work so far is a sign of even more to come.
Niners CEO Jed York had talked about how much he’d like to keep Shanahan tied to the organization long-term. Now he has done so, a clear sign of just how pleased the organization is with his work so far.
