John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 171 | 49ers Webzone Forum

4ML · 2017-01-29T17:29:58-08:00

Lucked into Shanahan but Lynch as a GM? Wtf?? So many qualified GMs 49ers interviewed...and in the end - they decided to hire a guy who has ZERO experience working in a NFL Front Office. He has ZERO experience as a scout at any level. I understand, so many potential GM candidates rejected 49ers. But, to hire a guy who has never held a position that is in no way related to a day-2-day job profile of a GM is unbelievable. I'm sure Lynch is a smart guy...he was a smart player...but that has NOTHING to do with being a GM. Why take the risk at this time? --------------- edit: After having some time to digest this news...wish him all the best and I hope he proves ppl wrong. Still don't understand why we needed to take such a risk but it is what it is now. I do have to say - his first presser made a positive impression.

Covers so much.

49er brought him in as a consultant and he was brutally honest with them and their drama

Consultant became a hire

Understands limitations

Carries credibility around the league

THEY had to convince HIM of the job

lol at Cris Carter...that guy is so butt hurt.

Why did the job have to go to a minority candidate?

Cris Carter not liking this move should balance out Heath Evans liking the move. Both guys are wrong 99% of the time. One of them has to be right here. Hopefully it's dum dum Evans.

Did you see Shannan Sharp's tweet???? He basically laughs hysterically about it and asks who's going to hire him as GM?

NOBODY because you're an idiot. Ever listen to this guy with Skip on ESPN? Guy is a complete imbecile.

Every GM/HC should say that...Don't want guys retiring mid contract or not busting their ass to get better. Perfect way to draft/sign busts is to find guys who take this game for granted.

Lynch again points to John Elway as someone he'll look to for guidance as he does this. Calls Elway one of his closest friends.

Looks like he's already started

Ronde? Alstott? Brooks? Quarles?

I thought he'd try and snag Quarles from Tampa for a personnel role, but looks like Peters will most likely end up with that gig.

Let's surround him with experience please. The same way Warriors surrounded Kerr with experienced coaches.
