On the latest episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi react to head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's end-of-season press conference from Wednesday.

(0:50) What did Shanahan's comments about Brock Purdy and Trey Lance tell you about how the 49ers expect this offseason to play out? Did Shanahan show his cards at all and might the 49ers have talked themselves into a corner if things don't go as planned this offseason? Plus, Shanahan poured water on any Jimmy Garoppolo-return rumors. Is that the best thing to do? Also, does Shanahan bear any responsibility for how often his quarterbacks get hurt?

(18:54) Despite what Shanahan and Lynch made it seem like, the 49ers quarterback situation this offseason isn't perfect. They're relying on two young quarterbacks who are both currently injured after suffering major injuries. How would you rate San Francisco's quarterback room? Plus, with Purdy's injury likely to sideline him until at least close to the start of training camp, how big of an opportunity is there for Trey Lance to prove his worth to Shanahan and the 49ers this offseason? The guys also discuss Shanahan and Lynch's unique head coach-general manager relationship.

(36:04) Shanahan and Lynch also addressed the team's opening at defensive coordinator, after DeMeco Ryans accepted an offer to become the Houston Texans next head coach. What are the 49ers looking for in a new coordinator and is their current staff deep enough to promote from within again? Also, Ryans' departure is just another example in a long list of minority coaching and front office hires coming from the 49ers organization. What can the NFL learn from San Francisco's success developing talent?
