00:00Uh, the season ending press conference from Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch.

00:04This is the one that stuck out to me.

00:05I expect everyone to be, um, ready to go and, you know, excited to really get this

00:11going and play some football.

00:12And, um, that starts with Brock.

00:14Like Brock is the leader of our team.

00:16Um, I've loved these three years with Brock.

00:19Um, I had planned on being with Brock here the whole time I'm here.

00:22So like Brock's been a stud, um, he's a guy I got a lot of confidence in and just as a

00:26human.

00:27Um, but it starts with what he's done on the field these last two and a half years.

00:30And, um, we're capable of winning the Superbowl with him.

00:34We just almost did.

00:35And, um, I know he's capable of getting the Niners Superbowl in the future.

00:39Okay.

00:40Let's talk that out.

00:41I plan on him being here with me as long as I'm here.

00:47Um, and in theory, within the next couple of months, Brock Purdy will sign a contract

00:54most likely that will tie him to the 49ers longer than Kyle Shanahan is currently tied

01:01to the 49ers.

01:02But I take a couple of things from this, namely the fact that both, both of them from their

01:08bosses have been given the ultimate respect, the ultimate vote of confidence.

01:14I don't think anybody who makes decisions is thinking about anything outside the room

01:20at all.

01:21I don't think Jed York has eyes for any other head coach.

01:24And I don't think that Kyle Shanahan right now has eyes for any other quarterback.

01:28So it leads me to this question, uh, he has confidence that he and Brock Purdy can win

01:35a Superbowl.

01:36Do you?

01:37Because no matter what you think about either of these guys, I would, as you sort of indicated

01:42short time ago, buckle up and get ready for both of them to be here for the foreseeable

01:47future.

01:48Right.

01:49888-957-9570.

01:50Do you have faith in the tandem?

01:51Do you not have faith in one or no faith in both?

01:55Because I think today was the final definitive statement from Lynch and Shanahan that Brock

02:00is the dude.

02:02And just checking the contract status, Lynch and Shanahan both signed through 2027, which

02:07means three more seasons, which really means two more seasons because you don't ever have

02:11them go into that last year, the lame duck year.

02:14So it's two more years and then they'll probably get extended unless they author back-to-back

02:20six and 11 duds like this year, then there's a conversation.

02:23But the idea of Kyle and Brock being together as long as Kyle's around, he's going to have

02:28Brock as his quarterback.

02:30So for me, the conversation of if now gets put to bed night, night to the should they

02:36or shouldn't they Brock Purdy conversation.

02:38Now it's how much, and more importantly, when, because I do think it's interesting what Ross

02:44Tucker said.

02:45And you and I had the conversation about, you know, in the league year starts in March

02:49and you've got voluntary workouts in April.

02:51For me, the sooner the better to get this taken care of, that way you can really have

02:56an off season that you can sink your teeth into and you can actually get better.

03:00Yeah.

03:01Sorry, just wanted to get that out of the way and make everybody feel a little bit good.

03:06But I like I'm with you, but I think that this comment for me goes maybe even a little

03:12bit bigger than that.

03:13I don't want to just blow past the Brock Purdy conversation.

03:16We'll have it for the next few months.

03:18Will it be quick?

03:19Will it be not?

03:20We don't know.

03:21But it seems to me like this is one of those situations where everybody is on the same

03:25page.

03:26But to me, for the listeners of this show, for the fans of the 49ers, this is also about

03:31Kyle because there's just as much hand wringing about him as there is Brock Purdy.

03:37When you have a team that goes six and 11, there are always questions.

03:40We've already seen the defensive coordinator and the special teams coordinator lose their

03:44jobs.

03:45And so there are questions about process and results and how you go about getting from

03:51point A to point B and how it's been done in the past and how will you do it differently?

03:56It was interesting to me today that Kyle Shanahan said, as far as the search for a new defensive

04:00coordinator, maybe we do open our eyes to people who run a different scheme.

04:05They've never done that before.

04:06That's a first.

04:07So to me, that's already somebody saying, look, let's evolve a little bit.

04:12Let's be open minded here.

04:13This could go in any direction.

04:15That's a good thing.

04:17But the larger point is, all indications are, Kyle, Brock, long time.

04:25So how does that grab everybody?

04:28What is your confidence level that that pairing, because you've talked a lot about this the

04:34last month, coach quarterback pairing, is there anything more important than the NFL?

04:39I'd argue no.

04:41Quarterback pairing and a ring at some point.

04:45You know, I don't do Super Bowl or bust because that's one year and crap can go sideways like

04:51it just did this year.

04:52But if we want to talk about these two, they've had a three year period.

04:56Let's add like, let's say four more years on it and call it a seven year period.

05:01How do you feel about their chances to win the last game of the year?

05:05I feel good about it.

05:07I look at all the other tandems around the league and we ran through it in the crossover

05:11a little bit.

05:12And some of the more established coaches, there are only three coaches who've been with

05:16their current team longer than Kyle Shanahan.

05:20It's John Harbaugh, Andy Reid and Mike Tomlin.

05:23Now, he got hired the same year as Sean McDermott and Sean McVay.

05:27Those three were all 2017.

05:28But look around the league and the one thing you need is stability.

05:33Right now you have six teams that are coachless.

05:36They're looking for a head coach, they've fired their coach.

05:39There were three more hired just last year, actually more than that.

05:43You look at all the guys hired last year, six were hired last year.

05:46And the year before that, four.

05:48So in the last three years, including the upcoming six openings, half the league has

05:53turned over their head coach.

05:55And if you look at those teams, none of those teams outside of the Houston Texans who are

06:00going to the playoffs for a second straight time, and now Harbaugh who's going in his

06:04first year, most of these teams are in the beginning or the middle of rebuilds.

06:09I know Washington with their first year coach and a rookie QB, they're going.

06:13But it's really difficult to do.

06:15So you've got a coach who's been successful.

06:18You've got a quarterback who's been successful and they've been successful together.

06:23And he's 25 and Shanahan, I do think, had a rough year.

06:28He had a bad year.

06:29The whole year went sideways.

06:31So if I'm looking at next year with a last place schedule and an extra six weeks off

06:37for them to get healthy and get right, it's a pretty good looking set up.

06:41Things are poised for them to pay the quarterback draft as well as they did last year or even

06:47close to as well and be ready to roll in September.

06:50Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right.

06:52I mean, like the setup is all there.

06:55And you said this yesterday and I agree with it, then I'll parrot it now.

07:00If you do six and 11 again with that setup, now we're having a completely different conversation.

07:06But that in this moment, even after this horrific season still seems hard to fathom.

07:13It's pretty hard to believe that again, for those of you who haven't heard us the last

07:17couple of days, like right now, the San Francisco 49ers, the hardest opponent that they've got

07:24on their schedule next year is the Tampa Bay Bucs and the Houston Texans.

07:27That's it.

07:28They have by winning percentage of this season, the easiest schedule in the whole NFL next

07:35year, like easier than the Raiders, easier than the Jags, easier than whatever team you

07:41want to have that you utter next.

07:44The Niners have the easiest schedule of all.

07:46So if you're blessed with even a little bit of health based on that schedule, you would

07:50figure the Niners are going to have a much better year.

07:54And then you come out of that and everybody's got a different feeling about the pairing.

07:59And even think about Arizona, who they play the AFC South and the NFC South, just like

08:04the Niners.

08:05So those eight teams are going to be weak for Arizona.

08:07But then they play a third place schedule, which means you have the Cowboys, you have

08:12the Packers, and then you would have one more game against the AFC against a team that I'm

08:19drawing a blank on.

08:20It would be.

08:21Yes, absolutely.

08:22That's not easy.

08:23It's not easy.

08:25So even like comparing to Arizona, there are three bonus games are two of them are markedly

08:31tougher than what the Niners will face.

08:33So this is not to make excuses, but I was struck by what Kyle was saying and he said

08:38what all of us have said for the entire year, where the Ram game was a giveaway and the

08:44Cardinal game and then the second Seattle, if those would have gone differently, we'd

08:49be having different conversations.
