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.
