Well, that would be Kyle Shanahan, who, after one of the hardest seasons of his career, is ready to check things out from a more macro view, away from the trenches he typically has to operate within.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about recent comments from GM John Lynch regarding his offseason plans during his final media session of the 2024 NFL regular season, Shanahan confirmed that, yes, he wants to really take some time to see what worked, what didn&#8217;t, and where the team can go from here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I am. I\u2019d be much more excited to not have one and to go all the way to February again, but that is tough. When you go that that long, everyone needs to get away and by the time you come back there\u2019s usually right when free agency\u2019s starting and you\u2019re not totally quite there yet. So, it\u2019s going to be our first time since I think COVID being off in January,\u201d Shanahan told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it gives you more time to figure things out. It gives you time to go through the things like the cutups and stuff. You can finish most of that stuff all before the Super Bowl. And then you\u2019re ready to go to other stuff like the Draft and free agency and all that as soon as the Super Bowl ends. So just being a lot more ahead of that is real exciting and I\u2019m ready to get to it. We\u2019ve known we\u2019re out of the playoffs here for a little bit and everything\u2019s about finishing this year up the right way and not cutting anything short, finishing your job. But I also have been able to look to when I can start improving next year and making sure we\u2019re not in this position again. And I know that starts Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What is the 49ers&#8217; biggest problem moving forward? Do they simply need to get healthy? Or did 2024 show some areas of concern that need to be addressed if the team ever hopes to return to the Super Bowl again, from misfitting players, to aging vets and beyond? While more optimistic fans may suggest the former, it&#8217;s really starting to seem like the latter has to be addressed in a major way, too, as a bounce-back year in 2025 may prove to be more of a lucky break than a sign that everything is magically fixed. If the 49ers are going to become long-term contender moving forward, they might have to retool like their division rivals in LA in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shanahan is ready for the offseason \u2b07\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":23767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-23766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-kyle-shanahan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING: 49ers&#039;
