Under Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, the 49ers have built one of the NFL’s best rosters from top-to-bottom while making two NFC Championship game appearances and a trip to the Super Bowl.
I believe that none of these accomplishments represent their greatest strength as the brain trust of the 49ers. The duo’s greatest power is to be able to manage personalities and cultivate a team-first locker room culture in a league that features a growing number of egos and difficult personalities.
You name the situation, and this 49ers’ regime has been able to manage it.
