“Coach Shanahan and the 49ers organization would like to sincerely thank all first responders involved for their efforts and care,” the statement read.

Chris Foerster, the assistant head coach, will team up with offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and special teams coordinator Brant Boyer to handle the head coaching responsibilities during Shanahan’s absence, according to the team.

Shanahan, 46, enters his 10th season with the 49ers, which will tie Bill Walsh for the longest-tenured head coach in franchise history.

Shanahan’s teams have posted a regular-season record of 82-67 (.550 win percentage). The 49ers have advanced to the playoffs five times in Shanahan’s tenure with a postseason record of 9-5.
