Quick Summary

Kyle Shanahan clarified a misunderstanding about an incident during the San Francisco 49ers' game against the Washington Commanders, where quarterback Brock Purdy was seen yelling at him on live broadcast. Instead of frustration over play-calling speed as speculated online, Purdy was asking for the play call to be repeated because it had been cut off after 15 seconds due to rules limiting the time between plays. Shanahan explained that he does not delay in calling plays and aims to repeat calls within this timeframe when needed.

Story summary

Despite the San Francisco 49ers' 6-0 record, social media buzzed with speculation about discord between quarterback Brock Purdy and head coach Kyle Shanahan during a game against the Washington Commanders on Monday night. A viral clip showed Purdy yelling "Hey Kyle!" towards the sideline, which was interpreted as frustration that Shanahan hadn't called a play quickly enough. However, Shanahan clarified this misunderstanding in a Wednesday press conference, explaining that Purdy's yell meant he needed to hear the play again and not because of any delay or discord. The coach emphasized that sometimes players on the field cannot hear him clearly over the noise and chaos of the game, necessitating repeated instructions if it exceeds 15 seconds before the snap.
