Fans ridicule Kyle Shanahan’s complaint
Fans mocked the way the coach was acting. One fan spoke about how it would be absurd for Jimmy G to talk to his old coach.
Why would Jimmy want to talk to Kyle. Kyle was clear that he wanted nothing to do with Jimmy after last season. Jimmy has the high road and Kyle has the low road. I don’t know when we play the Raiders. For one game I will root for the Raiders.
