Inman: 49ers’ loyalty to Shanahan must pay off like Raiders’ to Madden

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:39:39 GMT

As Al Davis sat down to reflect on John Madden’s coaching legacy, 30 years had passed since the Raiders’ first Super Bowl victory.“For a while, there were words that we and he couldn’t win the big one, because we had lost so many championship games,” Davis told me in 2006 during an exclusive interview.Fast forward to the modern-day 49ers. They’ve lost in the NFC Championship Game in consecutive years, and they’re three seasons removed from a Super Bowl collapse.Can coach Kyle Shanahan win the big one?Jed York, the 49ers’ CEO, still very much thinks so. He calls Shanahan “special,” and he’s banking on that justified loyalty to pay off for the 49ers just as it did Davis’ Raiders.“We’ve been in three NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl in the last four years. That’s a pretty good run,” York told reporters Tuesday in Phoenix at the NFL’s annual meeting. “It’s not ultimately where we want to be but it’s a pretty good run.”San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanah...

Rosenberg) trailed Marty FLEISHER by 2 IMPs, having begun the fourth quarter down by 46.At both tables, West opened 1NT. When COPE’s pair sat East-West, 1NT was passed out, down two for plus 200 to FLEISHER. In the replay, young Finn Kolesnik bid two hearts as South after two passes — not an obvious action — and North had a shot at four hearts.LOSING LEADBidding game was wrong in theory, but West found the natural lead — the only losing lead — of a trump. Declarer won and should have led the king of clubs next, starting to set up dummy’s suit. Instead he led a diamond to dummy’s ace and returned a club.If East had grabbed his ace, he would have beaten the contract. But he played low, and South scored his king and embarked on a crossruff that produced 10 tricks, plus 620.COPE gained 9 IMPs, took the lead an...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:39:39 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Thomas Tuchel’s unexpected appointment as Bayern Munich coach has added even more spice to “der Klassiker.”Tuchel, who took over after Bayern fired Julian Nagelsmann last Friday, will face former club Borussia Dortmund on Saturday in his first match back in Germany.Dortmund fired Tuchel three days after the team won the 2017 German Cup because he had fallen out with club officials and players over his two seasons in charge. There were disagreements with chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke, sports director Michael Zorc, chief scout Sven Mislintat and others.“We couldn’t see a basis for continued work together built on trust,” Watzke said at the time.Bayern is gambling on Tuchel shaking up the team for the decisive part of the season after a 2-1 loss at Bayer Leverkusen dropped the 10-time defending champions one point behind Dortmund going into Saturday’s match in Munich.Dortmund’s visit is looming as arguably the biggest game of the season — a potential title decider w...
