How to Watch: Shanahan and Lynch Introductory Press Conference
Feb 9, 2017 at 10:45 AM
•
The San Francisco 49ers will hold a press conference to introduce head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch on
Thursday, February 9 at 1 p.m. PT. Shanahan arrived in the Bay Area on Wednesday and, with Lynch, looks to begin the tasks of putting together a coaching staff and rebuilding the roster.
Introductory press conferences have become a regular event for the 49ers. This will be the team's third in as many years. The 49ers hope this will be the last for a while. Both Shanahan and Lynch signed six-year deals with the 49ers so the team is committed – at least financially – to the pair for a long time.
While Lynch has already spoken to Bay Area media via a conference call on the Monday following his hiring, as well as taking part in numerous radio interviews, Thursday's press conference will be Shanahan's first meeting with Bay Area media since being named the head coach on Monday and signing his contract on Wednesday.
Fans will also be able to watch the press conference via online streams. Below is a list of options for the Niner Faithful who wish to watch live.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
