Coach Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers suffers his third Super Bowl loss.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Similar to his previous two trips, head coach Kyle Shanahan’s third Super Bowl trip ended in severe disappointment following yet another blowout late lead.

At the young age of 44, the San Francisco 49ers coach is one of the most influential figures in the game because of his vast coaching tree and offense that teams attempt to emulate.

After San Francisco blew two late leads to lose 25-22 in overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl on Sunday, he simply doesn’t have a Super Bowl title.

How you lose doesn’t matter to me. It hurts to lose Super Bowls, especially when you think you can win them, according to Shanahan.

Given that the 49ers were the best team in the league for the majority of the season and appeared ready to give Shanahan his first championship, this most recent one may be the hardest to accept.
