Lynch & Shanahan End of Season Press Conference Reaction: Aiyuk Gone, DC Search, and Turning a Blind Eye to Injuries

John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan spoke — and they revealed more than expected. In this episode, we break down the biggest takeaways from the 49ers’ end-of-season press conferences, starting with the bombshell admission that Brandon Aiyuk has played his last snap in San Francisco and how Lynch and Shanahan openly admitted they still don’t understand what fractured the relationship.

We dive deep into the defensive coordinator search, why Gus Bradley being the main internal candidate directly contradicts Shanahan’s stated desire for more dynamic fronts and coverages, and why names like Raheem Morris may actually fit what the head coach claims he wants. Plus, why Robert Saleh could raid the 49ers’ coaching staff in Tennessee.

Other key topics include:

• The 49ers’ plan to re-sign Jauan Jennings

• Why Kyle Shanahan expects Mac Jones back in 2026

• Major injury updates on Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams, Ricky Pearsall, Alfred Collins, and George Kittle

• Shanahan admitting the team needs to get faster

• The organization’s continued refusal to seriously address its longstanding injury problem

• Why that blind spot feels less like bad luck — and more like negligence

• John Lynch confirming more financial flexibility in free agency

• The push to retain key special teams veterans

If you want an unfiltered breakdown of what the 49ers said, what they didn’t say, and what it means for the future of the franchise, this is a must-listen.
