49ers Confirm Shanahan and Lynch Will Return

The San Francisco 49ers have had a disappointing season, finishing with a 6-10 record and missing the playoffs after a near Super Bowl victory last year. Despite the team's struggles, owner Jed York has confirmed that head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch will return for the 2025 season, dismissing rumors of potential trades or changes in leadership. Shanahan's coaching has come under scrutiny, particularly due to the team's inability to win close games, but both he and Lynch remain confident in their positions. The 49ers' disappointing performance has been attributed to injuries and other factors, with 21 players currently on the injury report. As they look to revamp the team moving forward, Shanahan views this season as a learning experience for quarterback Brock Purdy. The organization believes in maintaining stability at the top, despite the disappointing season.
