No Time for 49ers to Party : Pro football: Sure, the players can enjoy winning the Super Bowl, but management has the future to worry about.

MIAMI —  On the morning after winning Super Bowl XXIX, the San Francisco 49ers began working toward Super Bowl XXX. Their first order of business was to try to find a way to keep offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan.

The former Raider coach is credited with combining the talents of players such as quarterback Steve Young, wide receiver Jerry Rice and running back Ricky Watters, and the offense designed by the 49ers’ former coach, Bill Walsh, into an unpredictable, multidimensional force that produced victories such as Sunday’s 49-26 rout of the San Diego Chargers.

Shanahan, however, reportedly has been offered a five-year, $6-million contract to coach the Denver Broncos. Owner Pat Bowlen said he hoped to finalize the deal today, but Shanahan also was to meet with the Philadelphia Eagles, who have a coaching vacancy, before making a decision.

Between meetings, Shanahan was part of a parade down San Francisco’s Market Street, where a crowd estimated at 300,000 stood in a light rain and saluted the 49ers.

The 49ers’ president, Carmen Policy, had spent much of the plane ride home to the Bay Area discussing with owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. a package attractive enough to keep Shanahan.

That has the endorsement of Young, the most valuable player of Sunday’s game after throwing a Super Bowl record six touchdown passes.

“I’m going to beg for Mike to stay,” he said. “I’m going to do everything I can. I’ll give him some help, whatever I can do. Add onto his house, give him a car, whatever.”

Coach George Seifert feels the same way, but he’s realistic.

“That’s something that, when you’re successful, you have to deal with,” he said. “It’s nothing that I particularly look forward to because we want to do everything we can to keep this coaching staff together. . . . If in fact he (Shanahan) were to go, I believe we could come up with somebody else to enable us to continue to be successful. In the past, when Mike Holmgren left (to coach the Green Bay Packers), Mike Shanahan joined us. When (Tampa Bay Buccaneer Coach) Sam Wyche left, others joined us.”

Shanahan wouldn’t rule out remaining in San Francisco.

“I stayed here before,” he said, referring to the last time the Broncos called when the coaching job was open.

Shanahan is the the first of many people the 49ers might lose.

Teams looking for a coach also are expected to express interest in Ray Rhodes, the 49ers’ defensive coordinator.

Then, in a couple of weeks, DeBartolo, Policy and Seifert will face other crucial decisions with the start of the free-agency signing period. Policy made dramatic moves to put this Super Bowl winner together, but he’ll have to come up with perhaps even more to keep it together.

Before free agency, talk of dynasties centered around the health and age of the players, the team’s position in the draft and the ability of the general manager to pull off key trades. Now, the talk centers around agents and salary caps and bonuses.

“We have to start all over again,” Policy said. “In this era (of free agency), with anybody who does not have a multiyear contract, the next year, you have to start over again.”

San Francisco’s unrestricted free-agent list is headed by cornerback Deion Sanders. That assumes the 49ers will not make a March payment required to keep their option on Sanders. That doesn’t mean, however, that they won’t try to keep Sanders under a different financial arrangement.

“One of my biggest jobs,” Policy said, “is to not let a rabbit get out of the hat. His name is Deion. We want to keep him comfortably caged up. Out there in the Bay Area, we’ll feed him well . . . especially lettuce, green lettuce. That’s going to be the secret.”

Also on the unrestricted list is linebacker Rickey Jackson, who has indicated he might retire. The list of restricted 49er free agents is headed by Watters.

But Policy is hoping that his policy of attracting stars with creative financing involving incentive and signing bonuses and the lure of playing for a successful, committed organization will prove as successful in 1995 as it was this season. He lured Sanders and Jackson with smaller base salaries but bonuses geared to reaching and winning the Super Bowl. Defensive back Toi Cook came at the minimum salary of $162,000 so he could play for a winner after seven seasons with the New Orleans Saints.

While Policy has his work in front of him, Young was still glowing Monday from the job he had done the night before.

Despite his performance, Young still has goals, but they don’t all revolve around football. He has graduated from law school and hopes to practice international law while continuing his extensive charity work with children.

“Hopefully, I’ll have a life of many other accomplishments,” he said, “whether I pursue my law degree or I’m with my family. I hope that I’m not just a one-dimensional person.”

Sunday night, Young entered a dimension inhabited by only a few quarterbacks in footballhistory.

After his news conference Monday, Young was driven to the airport, where his teammates awaited.

There were miles to fly, a parade to enjoy and decisions to be made.
