49ers Owner Confirms Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch Will Stay Despite Disappointing Season
Jed York reaffirms his commitment to the coach-GM duo as the team faces its first losing season since 2020.
- 49ers owner Jed York stated that head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch will remain in their roles for the 2025 season.
- The announcement comes after the 49ers were eliminated from playoff contention with a 6-10 record, their first losing season since 2020.
- Speculation about Shanahan's future arose earlier in December, with rumors linking him to other teams, but Shanahan expressed a strong desire to stay in San Francisco.
- Both Shanahan and Lynch signed multi-year contract extensions in 2023, securing their positions through at least 2026.
- Despite the disappointing 2024 season, York emphasized their past success, which includes two Super Bowl appearances and four NFC Championship Game appearances in eight seasons.
