When was the last time the 49ers won the Super Bowl?

It’s been ~30~ years since the #49ers last won a Super Bowl, but there are a ton of coincidences that line up this year’s club with their last Super Bowl winner:

The 49ers historically have helped define NFL postseason success. They dominated the 1980s and early 1990s and won all five of their Super Bowl trips in that span. Getting their sixth has proven to be a long, difficult road.

San Francisco on Sunday will be in its third Super Bowl since the 2012 season, but they haven’t won a Lombardi Trophy since the 1994 season.

In 1994 the 49ers were loaded and after three NFC championship losses in four years finally got over the hump in Super Bowl XXIX, thumping the Chargers 49-26.

Now they find themselves in a similar position. In the last four years they have a Super Bowl loss and two consecutive NFC championship losses, and they enter this Super Bowl with a loaded roster.

If history continues repeating itself and the 49ers can knock off an AFC West team in the Super Bowl, it will end a 30-year championship drought for San Francisco.

Random thoughts from a Sunday without NFL football

No football on the NFL schedule meant some time to reflect on the San Francisco 49ers, the Disney+ show Wandavision, and the Pro Bowl.

Football season isn’t quite over, but the down week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl became over more down with the cancellation of the Pro Bowl. Or rather, a virtually adapted version of the Pro Bowl.

Nevertheless, it’s the first Sunday since early September that hasn’t been heavily occupied by football, which left me some time to do a little thinking about the 49ers, other football stuff and some non-football stuff.

Here’s some random stream-of-consciousness from Sunday:

WATCH: Texas’ new coach Andre Coleman scores touchdown in Super Bowl

Earlier this month, Texas announced the hiring of Andre Coleman as the teams wide receivers coach.

Texas officially announced the hiring of Andre Coleman as the new wide receivers coach earlier this month.

Coleman has quite the resume of experience with coaching, but did you know he played five seasons in the National Football League as a wide receiver and kick returner? More notably, Coleman played in Super Bowl XXIX as a rookie.

Coleman set many then-records in Super Bowl XXIX. Most kickoff returns in a game (8), most return yards/total yards (244). Although records are made to be broken, Coleman is still tied for the second-longest kickoff return in Super Bowl history.
