BASKETBALL LosMo boys, girls take wins over Mercy By Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press HOUSTON The Patriots have the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. Cue the debate on whether it translates into the greatest dynasty in the NFL, and maybe where New Eng- land ranks among dominant pro sports franchises. Perhaps the discussion hinges on the record-setting duo of quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick. There are some numbers that aren't debatable, like most Su- per Bowl appearances for a team (nine) and a quarterback (seven). Brady's five wins put him one ahead of Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana for the most by a quarterback, and Belichick's five are one better than Bradshaw's coach in Pitts- burgh, Chuck Noll. Bradshaw and Montana never had a Super Bowl rally that even remotely resembled the 25-point recovery engineered by Brady in a 34-28 win over Atlanta on Sun- day night in the first Super Bowl to go to overtime. "We've got the greatest quar- terback," defensive lineman Trey Flowers said. "Calm, cool, collective and just make plays. That's what he's been doing all his career." Green Bay won the first two Super Bowls with Bart Starr and has four titles. Bradshaw's Steelers became the team of the 1970s, with Roger Staubach and the Dallas Cowboys not far be- hind. Montana's 49ers domi- nated the '80s. Troy Aikman helped the Cow- boys become the first team to win three titles in four sea- sons in the 1990s — and Brady matched him a decade later.

After three, the Cards led 68-47 and they were able to coast to the win. Noah Zoppi came up big for the Cardinals with 31 points, includ- ing 4 three-pointers, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks; Austin Mishoe had 15 points, including a trio of threes, and 3 boards; Bren- dan Hoag had 13 points, 5 re- bounds and 11 assists and Corey Busta and Marco Tapia each had 8 points and 4 rebounds.

Shanahan's official hiring Mon- day could not come, per league rules, until after he coached in the Super Bowl. Acting one last time as the Atlanta Falcons offensive coor- dinator, Shanahan's unit could not build on a 28-3 lead nor kill enough time before losing 34-28 in overtime Sunday to the New England Patriots. "It is truly an honor to be named head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, one of the mar- quee franchises in all of sports," Shanahan said in a statement is- sued by the 49ers. "I must thank Jed and the York family for en- trusting me with this great privi- lege and tremendous opportunity. I would also like to express my gratitude to Arthur Blank, Dan Quinn and the Atlanta Falcons or- ganization for their support and the experience of a lifetime. "This is a very exciting day for the San Fran- cisco 49ers and our fans," 49ers CEO Jed York said in the same state- ment. "Through- out this process, we learned many things about Kyle that convinced us he is the perfect coach to lead this team. "Over the years, he has proven to be one of the brightest minds in the game of football and his recent success speaks for itself," York added. "Kyle's leadership has brought the best out of his players at every phase of his career and we look forward to watching him build a talented staff to accom- plish the same with our players." Shananan, a first-time head coach, received a six-year con- tract, the same length awarded to new general manager John Lynch on Jan. 29, according to multi- ple reports. Shanahan's immedi- ate two predecessors, Jim Tom- sula and Chip Kelly, each were fired one year into their respec- tive four-year contracts. "As a young man, I had the unique benefit of being exposed to the storied history of the San Francisco 49ers firsthand," said Shanahan, who was a ballboy dur- ing the 1994 season while his dad, Mike, served as the 49ers offen- sive coordinator. "From that expo- sure, I developed great respect for those who created a world-class, championship standard." Shanahan, 37, is the 20th coach in 49ers history, and their fourth in four years following the depar- tures of Jim Harbaugh, Jim Tom- sula and Chip Kelly. Shanahan is expected to be for- mally introduced at a Santa Clara press conference later this week, perhaps not until Wednesday or Thursday. 49ERS Shanahan hired as coach following Super Bowl loss Five-week search ends with Atlanta's OC Shanahan 49ERS PAGE 2 SPORTS » redbluffdailynews.com Tuesday, February 7, 2017 MORE AT FACEBOOK.COM/RBDAILYNEWS AND TWITTER.COM/REDBLUFFNEWS B1
