00:00 The Washington Commanders just hired 49ers assistant head coach and running backs coach Anthony Lynn.
00:07 And now there's like a mass exodus of the 49ers coaching staff.
00:11 They've lost their assistant head coach.
00:14 They've lost their passing game coordinator in Clint Kubiak.
00:19 And they may be getting rid of their defensive coordinator, Steve Wilks.
00:25 When asked if they'd be bringing Wilks back, Kyle Shanahan was like, "I don't know. We haven't talked to our coaches. I expect all our coaches will be back."
00:34 I don't know. I don't expect that all the coaches... Clearly not all the coaches will be back.
00:39 Anthony Lynn is another one who won't be back.
00:42 And now it's like, what are the Niners going to do to shake up their team?
00:46 They didn't win the Super Bowl. They weren't good enough, even though they think they are.
00:51 So what are they going to do differently? They're not going to change much of their roster. They think they have the best roster in the league.
00:55 They've said that over and over and over again.
00:58 So maybe they're going to shake up their coaching staff.
01:01 They didn't lose some of these guys by choice, but did they really value Anthony Lynn? Was he doing much here?
01:06 They brought him here to replace Bobby Turner as the running back coach, who retired temporarily.
01:11 But then the running game struggled so much that they went back to Bobby Turner, brought him out of retirement.
01:16 He came back. It didn't seem like Anthony Lynn was doing a whole lot.
01:20 So they brought in Anthony Lynn. They made him the assistant head coach.
01:23 Took the title away from John Embry, the former tight end coach.
01:26 And he was so offended, he left the team and went and coached for the Miami Dolphins.
01:30 So bringing in Anthony Lynn, did it do much? I don't know. Now he's gone.
01:33 It's going to be really interesting to see how the Niners reconfigure their coaching staff this offseason.
01:37 Because they need to reconfigure something.
01:39 Ideally, they get not just a new assistant head coach and pass game coordinator.
01:44 They need an offensive coordinator. Kyle Shanahan is entering what? Year 8 as a head coach?
01:49 And he still doesn't even know the rules of overtime in the playoffs.
01:52 He needs to focus on being a head coach.
01:55 Game management. Big picture stuff. Delegate. This is year 8.
02:00 You know who delegates? You know who has an offensive coordinator?
02:03 Andy freaking Reed.
02:05 I think Kyle should channel his inner Andy Reed, hire an offensive coordinator.
02:10 But, it's a lot of guys he has to hire.
02:13 Kyle, I just want to say, I'm available for any of your needs.
