Today is Christmas. And in the Christmas Spirit, I would like to pass out presents to the 49ers, who've had a tough season and could use some holiday cheer.

Here are the presents I would give them.

Kyle Shanahan would get a mirror that talks to him and tells him the truth. He also would get a little box, and inside it would be the ability to plan ahead and manage the clock during games.

Robert Saleh would get the Jacksonville Jaguars head-coaching job when it becomes available this offseason, and he would get final say over their draft and 53-man roster, instead of Jaguars Director of Player Personnel Trent Baalke.

Jed York would get a map of Santa Clara, so the next time he leaves Levi's Stadium in a huff at halftime he doesn't drive down a one-way street the wrong way.

Jimmy Garoppolo would get a first-class, one-way plane ticket back to New England so he can continue his career on the Patriots, where he was meant to be.

Mike McGlinchey would get a gift certificate to an all-you-can-eat buffet and a free month's trial at a gym, because he's an athlete and I think it would really help him to eat and lift weights.

Deebo Samuel would get a free month's trial at a yoga studio so he learns how to stretch and not pull his hamstring.

C.J. Beathard would get a $5 million private insurance policy, because for the next two weeks his life will be in McGlinchey's hands and I don't trust him.

Richard Sherman would get a set of golf clubs, because he needs to retire from the NFL and get a hobby.

Arik Armstead would get more investors for his youth literacy program, which is a phenomenal thing he has created.

And George Kittle would get a picture of my handsome face so he could hang it in his locker or post it on his refrigerator to use as motivation.

Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Santa Rosa Press Democrat where he wrote the Inside the 49ers blog and covered famous coaches and athletes such as Jim Harbaugh, Colin Kaepernick and Patrick Willis. In 2012, Inside the 49ers won Sports Blog of the Year from the Peninsula Press Club. In 2020, Cohn joined FanNation and began writing All49ers. In addition, he created a YouTube channel which has become the go-to place on YouTube to consume 49ers content. Cohn's channel typically generates roughly 3.5 million viewers per month, while the 49ers' official YouTube channel generates roughly 1.5 million viewers per month. Cohn live streams almost every day and posts videos hourly during the football season. Cohn is committed to asking the questions that 49ers fans want answered, and providing the most honest and interactive coverage in the country. His loyalty is to the reader and the viewer, not the team or any player or coach. Cohn is a new-age multimedia journalist with an old-school mentality, because his father is Lowell Cohn, the legendary sports columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1979 to 1993. The two have a live podcast every Tuesday. Grant Cohn grew up in Oakland and studied English Literature at UCLA from 2006 to 2010. He currently lives in Oakland with his wife.
