"They're not going anywhere," York stated firmly.
When Kawakami followed up to confirm if he could be quoted, York reiterated, "You can write that, for sure. They're not going anywhere."
Kawakami elaborated on the exchange, writing, "Over the next several minutes, York generally elaborated that while nobody in the organization is happy with the results this season, and not every decision worked out, he's not tossing out everything as a knee-jerk reaction."
York expressed his admiration for Shanahan and Lynch's leadership during an injury-riddled season that began with Super Bowl aspirations but ended with the team eliminated from playoff contention.
When asked about quarterback Brock Purdy's looming contract negotiations, York expressed optimism, saying he hopes Purdy will remain the team's quarterback for a long time.
Following Monday night's game against the Lions, the 49ers will wrap up their season on the road against the Arizona Cardinals this weekend.
