In an emphatic statement, San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York has declared that head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch will remain at the helm of the franchise for the upcoming season, following a disappointing 2024 campaign.

York reaffirmed his trust in the dynamic duo during an interview with The San Francisco Standard, dismissing any rumors swirling around potential departures. "You can write that, for sure," York stated confidently before the Niners' crucial Monday night clash against the Detroit Lions. "They're not going anywhere."

This announcement comes amidst increasing speculation that Shanahan might be targeted by other franchises seeking to fill coaching vacancies. Prominent sports journalist Adam Schefter from ESPN corroborated these claims, noting that the 49ers have no intention of trading Shanahan, who has also expressed his desire to stay in San Francisco. "I don't want to be any place in the world more than here," Shanahan affirmed, abruptly quelling any talk of a move.

Lynch also weighed in on the matter, addressing the rumors with characteristic candor. "I've found the whole discussion on Kyle and some of the stuff rather comical," he shared during an interview with KNBR radio ahead of the matchup against the Chicago Bears. Lynch highlighted the impressive track record of the duo, noting that the 49ers have clinched four of the last five division championships and appeared in two Super Bowls during their tenure. "The standard here is to win championships. We've fallen short of that, but we have an excellent head coach," he added.

Shanahan and Lynch, who both signed multiyear contract extensions in September 2023, are determined to bounce back from a challenging season. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how they will address the team's needs in the offseason. As speculation continues about potential roster changes and draft strategies, one thing is certain: the 49ers are committed to building a championship-caliber team under the guidance of their esteemed coach and general manager.
