Each of us have very specific dreams when we’re young, but few get to live them.
Former Longhorn and current San Francisco 49’ers head coach Kyle Shanahan listed his dreams and aspirations in the 2001 Texas football media guide.
It appears Shanahan had a vision and plan to reach his goals, as he’s well on his way to achieving them.
Anthony Geronimo, sports producer for CBS Austin, was able to locate this blast from the past.

In the media guide, Shanahan’s playing career as a wide receiver was highlighted. While reading the ‘Shanahan File’ that lists random tidbits of information, you wouldn’t think much of his nickname, favorite movie, or favorite actor.
But the record he’d dream of breaking and what he’d like to accomplish after his playing career is worth noting. Shanahan not only dreamed of becoming a coach in the National Football League, he imagined himself breaking the record for most Super Bowls won by a head coach.
Shanahan was named the head coach of the 49’ers in 2017. Three years later, the 49’ers will be competing against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV.
At only 40 years of age, Shanahan has plenty of time to break the record he’s always dreamed of. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is currently the all-time leader with six Super Bowl wins.
