Also the russini shoutout is like mildly awks considering what went down this past offseason but oh well

“Kyle Shanahan and I were not in alignment regarding this particular project” OH IM SURE

“Second chance to show his head coaching chops” how do we tell him…

“Lynch gave Kyle Shanahan the greatest gift imaginable for a coach like him” and it was CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY BOOM SHAKALAKA

The whole time i was reading this book i thought mike shanahan was dead only for me to look him up and realize he’s still alive SON 😭 my bad shanahan sr im glad that you’re still alive

Oh great now they’re gonna talk about how the Bengals blew a chance for a Super Bowl I’ll never be free smh

Imagine if the 49ers were in the Super Bowl and lost to the Bengals LMAO I think shanahan would actually kill himself tho

Yeah actually if I was kyle Shanahan I would be sooo mad wdym the chiefs ended up being useless against the Bucs in that Super Bowl while I had to blow a lead against them TWICE I’d kms omg

Ok in hindsight Staley wanting McDaniel as the chargers OC is hilarious because now McDaniel is the Chargers OC but under Jim Harbaugh I’m in tears bro 😭

Ok in hindsight the saints losing to the Bucs in the 2020 playoffs was literally a “you people can’t do anything moment” imagine the utopia if that was nipped in the bud

(That meme of Peter griffin above water): I do not care for Chris Foerster’s narrative arc in this book

Arthur smith so lame that his bajillionaire father gets mentioned earlier in this book than he does when the book is literally about coaches 😭 (yes I’m being salty). Also this book is like being poked with a cattle prod multiple times as a Falcons fan I kind of don’t want to relive the 2020 regular season (among other things)

UC DAVIS MENTION (unfortunately in the context of Hackett and Evero but we move)

No way the 49ers gave Jimmy G that much money 😭 I didn’t know he was the HIGHEST PAID player at one point wtf bro

Jed York being interested in “three young coaches with strong credentials” and the three being Shanahan, McVay, and McDaniels this is literally the three headed dragon meme 😭 (NOT touching on the previous chapter discussing 28-3 again because bro)

The way everyone in coaching makes an appearance like why is Brian Kelly (multiple) the bus driver

Introduction talks about 28-3 #ohbrother

Not much to say the vibes are solid atm

I like the development of the relationship in the present day but it gets jarring when they’ve basically hooked up and then (boom) flashback of them pining like a year ago. Anyways I think the self loathing spiel was understandable but also hard to listen through.

Enjoying the tension so far (though also, maybe have a conversation about feelings? It's okay tho that's just mutual pining). Glad they did not go into specifics about the football game otherwise I would be mega malding over any kind of stuff I perceive as unrealistic.

Tbh I think I would enjoy this more if I read rather than listened but. It is what it is.

Taylor Swift reference at the end of the chapter I cringed.

Notes so that I remember what happens:

- so far both characters are fine? Setting up to be fake dating friends to lovers with an age gap which I don’t hate, with a sprinkling of a single dad who has a deaf daughter. None of these words are in the Bible.
- lowkey was expecting the protagonist to be older but that explains the general naive vibe she has.
- don’t love the setup of fake dating but. It must be done.
