Nov 9, 2025; Santa Clara, California, USA; San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan looks on during the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium. © Cary Edmondson-Imagn ImagesIt’s been roughly half a month since San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in a car accident. Yet, it’s been less than a week since the public learned about the incident, which left the coach concussed, with three fractured ribs, plus a broken hand and a broken nose.Shanahan also had to get 40 stitches on his face while reportedly coming close to losing his right eye. Besides the laundry list of ailments, the good news is that Shanahan escaped with his life intact.Yet, there have been several questions relating to the accident ever since it became public. Now, those skeptics are getting louder.Sports Reporter Questions ‘Bizarre’ Kyle Shanahan SituationOne journalist who still can’t shake the feeling that something’s off in the Shanahan accident is former ESPN star Linda Cohn.In a recent appearance on her ‘Linda Cohn Show,’ the reporter questioned how her former ESPN colleague Adam Schefter was able to type so much, so quickly following the incident. One minute after the 49ers informed the public about Shanahan’s accident, Schefter was tweeting about it, even adding more details that the team didn’t unveil.“I don’t get it,” Cohn said. “In a minute’s time, Adam Schefter was able to type all those extra details.

Have you noticed? I mean, we’ve lived in this world, this reactive world for many, many years now. Where, if something happens involving some kind of famous person, you know about it.”Cohn did show a touch of empathy for Shanahan.“Poor Kyle Shanahan, my goodness,” Cohn said. “He was in a serious car crash, and we didn’t know until 11 days later. I’m not talking about the next day, or it was delayed two days maybe for his family. And maybe who knows if it was a touch-and-go sort of situation. I get all that, but it was declared it wasn’t in those first day or 48 hours. Eleven days went by, and nobody knew about it?”Cohn also found it odd that no one, to this point, has heard a peep from the other driver.“What about the other driver?” Cohn asked. “We haven’t heard from the other driver, which seems kind of bizarre in this TMZ-type
