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.

Fred Warner: 49ers offense as fun to watch as any in the league
Fred Warner is part of an elite defense, a unit that could once again end up being the best in the NFL. However, when the San Francisco 49ers offense is on the field during games, the star linebacker can't help but feel like a fan in the stands.
"People probably think that we are busy talking about scheme and looking at iPads, but in reality, I'm sitting there, I'm glued, watching the field when the offense is out there," Warner admitted to Mark Willard and Dan Dibley on 95.7 The Game. "They're as fun to watch as any offense, I think, in the league. You talk about the star power, the skill, the talent at each skill position."
That star power includes playmakers like running back Christian McCaffrey, tight end George Kittle, and wide receivers Deebo Samuel and
John Lynch provides update on ailing 49ers receivers ahead of Cardinals game
On Thursday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings would be questionable for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Neither has practiced this week. Samuel is dealing with rib and knee injuries, while Jennings is working through a shin injury.
Another receiver, Brandon Aiyuk, did not play against the New York Giants last week. He has been limited during practices this week as he recovers from a shoulder injury.
The 49ers have one more practice before Sunday's game at Levi's Stadium, a Friday afternoon session that is typically the lightest of the week. However, it may be crucial in determining the
John Lynch on 49ers contract extension: "I've got a ton of gratitude for the York family"
It is believed that general manager John Lynch's contract extension keeps him with the San Francisco 49ers through the 2027 season. The deal was actually done ahead of the start of the season but wasn't announced until the day after the team's Week 3 win over the New York Giants.
Lynch was in Texas, where he and his family were spending time with his daughter, a student at TCU. That's when people started congratulating the 49ers general manager on his extension. That surprised him since the actual signing took place weeks earlier.
Still, Lynch is grateful for the expression of confidence by 49ers management.
"I think [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan], yesterday, I heard him use the term 'grateful,'" Lynch said Friday morning on KNBR's "Murph and Mac"
