John Lynch came to an impassioned defense of 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan on Friday, responding to criticism about Shanahan’s coaching during a challenging start to the 2024 NFL season.
“I think Kyle Shanahan is a fantastic coach,” the 49ers GM said on KNBR’s “Murph & Markus” show. “I think he gives us an advantage each and every game we go out. Sometimes things just don’t come together and yeah we take that responsibility; I know I do, Kyle does.
“It’s just not what we’d hoped for, it’s not what we expected from this team. But, you’ve got to deal with [it]. Kyle is tough-minded, he’s been around this business for a long time. What he’s solely focused on is fixing the issues that are ailing us. He works tirelessly. I’ve got nothing but belief in Kyle and what he brings to the table. I’m happy and proud to be working with him so we’re working our tails off to try to get this thing right.”
