The San Francisco 49ers have taken off since the arrival of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch. Lynch's shrewd drafting and roster building has helped this 49ers team rise to relevance in the NFC once again after a period of struggles. However, 49ers rumors have emerged suggesting that Lynch will leave the franchise for a possible return to a television analyst role. Lynch sounded off on such rumors.

49ers GM John Lynch isn't going anywhere, despite what rumors may suggest. Lynch said he hadn't heard the rumor and reaffirmed his commitment to San Francisco.

Lynch then said that with the 49ers is “where he'll be”, putting an end to the rumors before they even gain steam. Why would the former NFL star want to leave anyway?

Lynch, a fine player and analyst, has arguably been even better as a front office executive. Since joining the 49ers in 2017, Lynch has helped the team to two double-digit win seasons, a Super Bowl berth and an appearance in the NFC Championship game.

Lynch has helped build a bully of a defense, found talented offensive stars in George Kittle and Deebo Samuel, and even found a potential quarterback of the future in Trey Lance.

It's no wonder that John Lynch didn't even want to think about leaving the 49ers.
