Ahead of the NFC championship game between the Rams and 49ers, revisit this conversation between the two teams’ coaches, Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan, from July.


Sean and Peter are joined by San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan to talk about Sean and Kyle’s long-standing friendship and their time in Washington together. Shanahan also discusses growing up with an NFL head coach as a father; why he chose to take the 49ers head coaching job; the Stafford trade and playing against the Rams each year; why the 49ers chose Trey Lance; his most regrettable play calls, including moments from the 2016 Super Bowl, and more (1:13). We finish the show with some listener emails and voicemails (71:14).

Hosts: Sean McVay and Peter Schrager
