ESPN insider says 9ers target Harbaugh but will look at Lombardi for GM, he has a relationship with Harbaugh which might help bring him here.

from the presser, Jed's main thing is that the GM and HC are on the same page together..get along together..Kick Cans and Hold Hands Together..

Didn't Lombardi have a beef with the Niners?

He had beef with the Raiders.

Lombardi, actually worked for the 49ers..I don't know the exact time line, but when I did a google search, it said he worked for the Eagles, Broncos, and of course the Raiders

He was a low man on the chain while Walsh was here, I believe.

Quote:
Michael Lombardi has been an NFL executive for over 20 years, working for Bill Walsh, Marty Schottenheimer, Ernie Accorsi, Bill Belichick, Jon Gruden, Bill Callahan, Norv Turner and Mike Shanahan.

I liked Jed's composure and confidence in the podium. I hope he can follow through with all of this talk since you will likely hear writers, fans, etc. claiming the Niners are headed in the right direction.

If he follows through wit hthe message he sent during the press conference, we could be in for a very successful future, whether it be 2011 or 2012

I'm looking far beyond just the next two years on this move. Eddie is giving Jed advice right now, but if Jed hires a GM with a lot of experience, you know they will be working together... the GM still needs to get the thumbs up to spend the cash. That tells me that Jed is going to have a guy by his side teaching him the intricacies of the NFL.

Eddie can't live forever... sadly. However, Jed is very young and is obviously willing to learn... he's passionate and WANTS to learn and do things right. If we get a GM that he's talking to every day that teaches Jed York enough that Jed York becomes a "Football Guy", we're set for life. He's going to inherit the team. His children will inherit from him.

Thank you Eddie. You might have just saved our team.

Everyone pray to the Football Gods that we get the right GM.

They interviewed Ricky Jean-Francois on Comcastsportsnet, one reporter asked "What's the mood around the locker room?" he answered, "Shocked, everyone's quiet but were just thinking about the Cardinals game".

It seemed to me that in his KNBR interview he was hurt by what has happened to the 49ers. Good to see him have a say in whats going on and he seems to be grooming Jed to be a successful owner. We can only hope...

That's what happens when your head man is all about relationships instead of coaching. I'm not trying to be rude, but part of Singletary's style was creating a family atmosphere. I mean think about Vernon talking about him as the dad he never had and so on...at least the off season is a week away and they can start fresh whenever the lockout threat is over.

I really get the impression that Eddie is making sure that this thing gets fixed... and permanently. He's not being a passive mentor.

I almost feel like he's dragging Jed around and making him rub some elbows, then sitting him in a school desk in front of a chalkboard and teaching him ownership 101.

First lesson:

HIRE A GENERAL MANAGER!

They'll get over it when they get a coach that helps them win
