John Lynch made it a point to confirm to reporters that he will be the 49ers’ general manager for the 2023 NFL season.
"I've got a lot of respect for our players, the way they handled themselves and it's hard to win a game in this league, let alone 12 straight and unfortunately in the last game, it just wasn't in the cards and I think that will always be there, this feeling."
Along with lamenting what could have been had the 49ers been fully healthy against the Philadelphia Eagles, Lynch noted that the 49ers' challenge moving forward is trying to figure out how to make the team good enough to actively compete for another Super Bowl. "I'm committed, our ownership is committed and Kyle and I are committed to finding a way to get better and that's exactly what we plan on doing," Lynch told reporters."It's just hard to conceptualize that because you're still stuck in this season.Since Lynch was named the general manager of the 49ers in 2017, San Francisco has reached the NFC Championship three times -- in 2019, 2021 and 2022 -- and Super Bowl LIV against the Kansas City Chiefs.
And the first step in that journey is for the 49ers' general manager to stay put and continue building upon the foundation that already is set.
