He has drafted All-Pro players such as Nick Bosa, George Kittle, Talanoa Hufanga, Deebo Samuel, and Fred Warner, and he has acquired key players such as Kyle Juszczyk and Javon Hargrave in free agency. Lynch also led the charge in acquiring Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams via trade. In 2019, Lynch was awarded the Pro Football Writers of America Executive of the Year Award.

San Francisco has averaged 367.3 net yards per game under Shanahan, the fifth-most in the league since 2017. Shanahan was named Coach of the Year by Sporting News and NFC Coach of the Year by the Committee of 101 in 2019 after leading the 49ers to a 13-3 regular season record and an appearance in Super Bowl LIV.
The extensions for Lynch and Shanahan are a sign of the 49ers' commitment to winning. The team has one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, and Lynch and Shanahan have proven that they can lead the 49ers to a championship.
