Kyle Shanahan will remain the 49ers head coach for the long term after signing an extension this offseason.<\/p>\n
The previously unreported move was revealed by Tom Pelissero of The Ringer and Netflix on Friday following the 49ers\u2019 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
Shanahan, per Pelissero, was previously believed to be signed through 2027. Pelissero did not confirm the length of his new deal, but it will take him well beyond a decade as San Francisco\u2019s head coach.<\/p>\n
It is noteworthy that there have, as yet, been no simultaneous reports of a contract extension for general manager John Lynch.<\/p>\n
Lynch is signed through the end of this current season having last signed an extension back in 2023.<\/p>\n
Shanahan and Lynch came as a package way back in 2017 when the latter was recruited as GM after Shanahan agreed to become the head coach.<\/p>\n
Lynch has previously had offers to return to broadcasting, reportedly turning down one from Amazon back in 2022.<\/p>\n
Of course, given how Shanahan\u2019s extension went unreported in the offseason, there\u2019s a chance the 49ers have already made a similar move with Lynch that has not yet been made public.<\/p>\n
However, at this moment, Shanahan\u2019s contract being announced on its own raises the possibility of an end to their partnership.<\/p>\n
The 49ers\u2019 dominant 27-7 win over the Rams took Shanahan to 83-67 in the regular season. He is 9-5 in the postseason, with last season\u2019s divisional round loss to the Seattle Seahawks his first playoff defeat before the Conference Championship stage.<\/p>\n
Shanahan moved level with former 49ers coach Buck Shaw with his 92nd combined win. He will surpass Shaw and move into 53rd on the all-time combined wins list when the 49ers claim their next victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kyle Shanahan will remain the 49ers head coach for the long term after signing an extension this offseason.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":461586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,8376,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-461585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-49ers-news","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/461586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
