You have to feel for Kyle Shanahan.
What a combination they could have been.
Shanahan, a master of offense.

Think about this offer for a moment.
3 scoring defense while giving up the fewest yards in the league under Steve Wilks.
Or any other job Belichick wanted.

And he got shot down cold.
No having to deal with contracts, salary cap issues, disgruntled players looking to get traded.
No offense or special teams.
All he’d have had to do is coordinate a defense.
Which he does before he’s even gotten out of bed in the morning.
Which is partly why he did them the solid of trading them Jimmy Garoppolo in 2017.
But again, he gave them both the big Thanks But No Thanks.
The It’s Not You; It’s Me.
All thanks to a certain little lady who taught him about life beyond football.
Go ahead and judge me if you must.
I don’t care.
