About the episode

Ahead of Sunday's NFC championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, we revisit last summer's wide-ranging conversation between the head coaches of those teams, Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan. They discuss their long-standing friendship and their time coaching in Washington together. Kyle opens up about growing up with an NFL head coach as a father; why he chose to take the 49ers head coaching job; the Stafford trade and playing against the Rams each year; why the 49ers chose Trey Lance; his most regrettable play calls, including moments from the 2016 Super Bowl, and more. We finish the show with some listener emails and voicemails.

Hosts: Sean McVay and Peter Schrager
