49ers' Shanahan-Lynch duo enters Year 10 intent on greater playoff success
"Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, so naturally by now, sat side by side Wednesday, reviewing the 49ers' ultra-challenging season and peering ahead to their 10th year as a power couple. I love working with Kyle and his staff, Lynch said, and we constantly challenge ourselves, challenge each other, to be better. And that won't stop. Shanahan is a finalist for his first AP NFL Coach of the Year Award, the NFL announced Thursday morning."
"If Lynch opted to return to television as a shrewd, easy-talking analyst after bypassing Amazon's lucrative bid for him in 2022, few would blame him now. Instead, Lynch is crooning over Shanahan's coaching job while not having to intrude on this season's tireless transactions. I let him coach the team and, man, did he this year, Lynch said. It was unbelievable what he did leading our team. I couldn't be more proud to work with someone."
Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch sat side by side reviewing an ultra-challenging season and looking ahead to their 10th year together. Shanahan guided the 49ers to a 13-win record and a finish two wins shy of reaching Super Bowl LX at home. Lynch praised Shanahan's coaching and credited roster management for supplying players the staff needed. Lynch considered returning to television after bypassing Amazon's 2022 bid but remained in the front office while applauding the coaching staff. Mutual admiration and long-standing personal trust underpin their decade-long collaboration and organizational stability.
