Four weeks after a spitballed idea about how the Bears should try to fill their coaching vacancy morphed into a widespread thought that 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan could be traded to Chicago, team owner Jed York has chimed in regarding both Shanahan and G.M. john Lynch.
“They’re not going anywhere,” York said before Monday night’s game, via Tim Kawakami of the San Francisco Standard.
It all started when someone (me) suggested that the Bears should break from the typical categories of coaching candidates (coordinators, fired former NFL head coaches, and college coaches) to call teams that might be thinking about making a change, and then if there’s an opening attempting to make a deal. I mentioned Shanahan, Ravens coach John Harbaugh, and Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.
In the aftermath, Shanahan became the focal point. Two weeks ago, Troy Aikman endorsed that approach during the Bears-Vikings Monday night game.
The point stands. The Bears should make the calls. Hell, they should still call York. If he’s intrigued by what he could get from the Bears or someone else, who knows what might happen?
Shanahan was mentioned in part because it feels like both sides might benefit from a fresh start, and because the 49ers nearly traded Jim Harbaugh to the Browns in 2014, after three straight seasons of NFC Championship appearances, with a Super Bowl berth in the second.
The calls are free. And proven coaches are worth the draft-pick compensation.
As Aikman explained it, promoting a successful coordinator involves a roll of the dice that he’ll thrive at the next level. A coordinator who has already shown he can coach an NFL team has real value.
Besides, haven’t we learned to not take such broad proclamations at face value? From multiple teams having “no intention” to trade a player who was then traded to a man who once said “I’m not going to be the Alabama coach” who then became the Alabama coach, certain situations require certain things to be said. In no uncertain terms.
Even if the truth entails far less certainty.
In a recent press conference, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York made it clear that head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch are not going anywhere. Despite a disappointing season, York expressed his confidence in the leadership of Shanahan and Lynch, stating that they have his full support moving forward.
York emphasized the importance of continuity and stability within the organization, highlighting the progress that has been made under the guidance of Shanahan and Lynch. He believes that the team is on the right track and that with some key adjustments, they will be able to bounce back and compete at a high level in the upcoming seasons.
Fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Shanahan and Lynch will remain at the helm of the 49ers, with York fully backing their vision for the team. With a strong foundation in place, the future looks bright for San Francisco as they look to turn things around and get back to their winning ways.
