If Kyle fails the blame should be squarely on Kyle. Jed made the right hire, gave him the keys and got the hell out of the way. Thats all we can ask for.,

It's not that easy.. You need a QB, if you can't get one.. then it's hard to succeed long term.

John is great at interviews, much better than Baalke, Nolan, and McCloughan. Maybe send him to a party time executive job where he interacts with the media and they bring in a well qualified GM. Lynch can be executive VP of something and attend all of the PR events.

Agreed. Jed made the right hire and it resulted in a SB appearance after a 3 year rebuild, which is all we can ask for. Besides some dumb tweets about how many miles he should run before the 2021 draft (hinting at which QB to take), he's been in the background signing checks like a good owner should do.

Amazing result to be fair. I don't disagree with you as many of us were elated at the time of the hire. But just like Harbaugh will he be remembered if that is the high water mark and everything else is garbage? Lets hope he turns it back in the right direction.

I'd give Kyle and John until Trey's 4th year before thinking about firing them.

LOL. Ok, if not sell then move Jed to another project?

Personally I probably would do worse than him but some of the hires he has presided over can look pretty bad (in hind sight). And coupled with a poor winning record and an unhappy Santa Clara occupancy it won't take long for the plane with the banner to fire up again.

I mean going so close to win get the 6th Lombardi to having everything else look sour is a head shaker that is hard to overcome.

To me Jed has allowed a situation where Shanahan looks like he is acting like a desperate man that is losing the grip on the cart blanche power he was given.

Jed is out of his depth and hired a coach and GM out of their depth. Now the farm is sold for a future QB that is at odds with the win now mentality.

Is it any wonder it is hard to remain positive as Niner fan. I will still cheer and go to as many games as possible all the while knowing it will be a miracle if we go big again any time soon.

York is in a classic lose-lose situation.

If he fires Shanahan/Lynch (and he can't fire one and keep the other), he dooms the team for another 2-3 years minimum for the new regime to overhaul.

If he doesn't fire them he has to hope they have the mettle to turn this around with Lance.

Chances are he gives them through 2022 with Lance and judges it by that.
