When the Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch regime began, they had one very specific job: restore the luster of the 49ers franchise. After the farewell press conference for Jimmy Garoppolo and the recent success the team has had on the field, it’s safe to say they have accomplished that mission.
By the time Shanahan and Lynch were hired in 2017, the 49ers organization had become known for two things - losing and infighting. The football on the field wasn’t good (15-33 in their previous three seasons), and the decision-makers above the field in the front office were even worse.
