Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay take different paths with Australia comments

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan had a different approach that Sean McVay when commenting on the potential of playing in Australia again.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay strongly opposed the NFL hosting games in Australia after his team's Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. McVay's harsh criticism was evident in a press conference where he expressed his hope for never playing in Australia again. In contrast, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan took a more measured approach, acknowledging the difficulty of the trip but expressing interest in potentially returning to Australia.

Shanahan arrived in Australia a week before the game and even mentioned that the people he met were cool, though he didn't encourage his players to explore the country extensively. Both coaches acknowledged the challenges of international travel, but McVay's team flew in and out of the country, while Shanahan's team spent a week there.
