There’s a lot on the line in Super Bowl LVIII.
By playing in a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, Shanahan and Kansas City head coach Andy Reid will become just the fourth head coach duo to face each other in multiple Super Bowls.
This is actually frightening news for the San Francisco 49ers who are hoping to get some revenge for losing a Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs.
All of the head coach rematches in the Super Bowl have taken place in a five-year span, similar to the 49ers-Chiefs rematch that will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Chuck Noll’s Pittsburgh Steelers defeated Tom Landry’s Dallas Cowboys in 1976 and 1979.
The next one was Jimmy Johnson leading the Cowboys to consecutive wins over Marv Levy’s Buffalo Bills in 1993 and 1994. Next up was Tom Coughlin taking victories over the New York Giants to upsets over Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots in 2008 and 2012.
Shanahan is trying his best to break this streak.

Four years prior, Shanahan’s 49ers were defeated by Reid’s Chiefs in Super Bowl 54 after they scored twenty-one straight fourth-quarter points. The Chiefs have since made two more Super Bowl appearances and defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 57.
The 49ers have finally made it back and they have a familiar opponent in front of them.
