Award-winning SF Chronicle journalist Mike Silver takes readers inside the world of the NFL’s coaching revolution in his latest work, The Why Is Everything. Silver uncovers the story of how a group of brilliant, young NFL coaches—led by Kyle Shanahan—overthrew decades of traditional football wisdom to reshape the sport. Known for his unrelenting demand for answers, Shanahan’s philosophy was simple: “Tell me the why.” Coaches who couldn’t justify their decisions with solid reasoning were shown the door. This mindset fueled the success of Shanahan and his coaching disciples, including Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel, Raheem Morris, and Matt LaFleur, now all stars in the NFL coaching scene.

Drawing from unparalleled access across the league, Silver gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the pivotal moments that shaped these men and their careers. Through this lens, he explores themes of friendship, rivalry, and the pursuit of perfection that drive the NFL’s brightest minds.

Join Mike Silver in conversation with 49ers legend Steve Young for an evening of football, stories, and insights into the game’s evolving landscape. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $17 in advance (book bundle available) or $20 at the door. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to hear from two football greats!
