Legendary 49ers running back and team football personnel advisor Frank Gore believes San Francisco always will have a chance to win because of one particular person: Kyle Shanahan .

Gore explained how San Francisco’s coach of the last nine seasons, despite recently operating with limited star power due to relentless injuries, keeps the team competitive on Sundays in an exclusive interview with Niners Nation’s Kyle Posey published on Saturday.

“When I’m sitting in meetings with him, he’s [a] smart man,” Gore told Posey. “As long as we got him, we have a shot. I don’t want our top guys to get injured, but as long as Kyle Shanahan isn’t injured and he can be there on Sundays, we got a chance to get a W. He’s a smart coach. And he’s real cool.”
