Earlier this week, Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, on the heels of the Chicago Bears' firing of coach Matt Eberflus, suggested that the franchise pursue a trade of San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan as the two teams prepare to play Sunday.
Florio's idea sparked up a firestorm of chatter about a Shanahan-Bears trade on social media and sports talk shows. And while a part of 49ers general manager John Lynch's job is to not pay attention to these sorts of things, the former player and current executive admitted during a Friday appearance on KNBR's Murph & Markus that he couldn't help but notice the Shanahan trade chatter because of how "comical" it was to him.
