Kyle Shanahan enters his seventh season as the 49ers’ coach after near misses in title games, a trend that John Madden eventually overcame with the 1976 Raiders.
As Al Davis sat down to reflect on John Madden’s coaching legacy, 30 years had passed since the Raiders’ first Super Bowl victory.
“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.” But the York family is exercising more patience than in any other stretch since taking over as the 49ers’ majority owners in 2000. They know how rare it is to have a winning coach, not to mention one who grooms others and has produced a pipeline of minority hirings.
Davis promoted Madden at age 32 to his first head-coaching job, which spanned a decade with a 103-32-7 record, plus a 9-7 mark in the playoffs. “Trust is earned and reestablished in any relationship,” York said of the duo. “That’s what you need in order to be successful. You have to make mistakes in order to get to a championship.”
