In this, there is NO Doubt in my mind ...
It's done in several aspects and arenas in the Real World, why not in the Sports World !

Anyone know how much that pays?

Once a month I get a check of 45.76$ from the great and generous Jed York.

That is odd considering Marathe runs Football Operations, there must be a dotted line reporting structure to Marathe.

Could be part of his contract he reports to Jed not Paraag...I know hard for ya to believe

Baalke never said he was going to aggressively pursue anyone or anything

All he ever did was grunt out a few words. I think we wonna run the ball.

Baalke was always trying to turn is into the 90's version of the Giants.

Well then he had some measure of success in that regard. The 90's Giants sucked. I see their 1990 title as extension of their 80's teams.

This should tell you something. Lunch quoted as saying he wasn't even thinking about this 2 weeks ago. NOT GOOD.

Jed: Hey John, how about 6 years and a few millions?

John: Where do I sign.

It is hard to belive because it doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't he report to the head of football operations, it seems like it would be easier to keep the two on the same page?

Well, this is interesting.

If you watch this video of Ian Rapoport first breaking news of Lynch being hired, he said Lynch has been working with Fox Sports to get out of his contract there, so I wonder if that also was causing some confusion and loss of time?

Around the 50 second mark of the video on top of the page, they said "Lynch spent a lot of time over the last week" trying to get out of the Fox Sports contract:

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

Steve Kerr surrounded himself with the asst. coaches he wanted. He made that decision and I am sure Lynch and Shanahan will do the same thing. There will be experience in the front office and on the field

in less then 24 hours, Lynch is already trying to do that with Peters

Dude is on it already

We are laughing stocks. Like an easy girl where everyone goes to get blowj...um...long term million dollar contracts.

Allow me to reiterate, because I have watched the following topic prodominantly at the top of the charts for the past 2 years at least.

Hate to break up the hate fest but there is something that Lynch represents that everyone was clamoring for 6 months ago and beyond. He is not about business, he is about players and winning. He initiated this process with KS and has now got the job. If nothing else, these two hires don't lend themselves to the corporate profit that has plagued the priorities of this franchise for years. This I am thankful for.

You okay, bud?

I doubt Jed went out on a limb and randomly decided to add Lynch's name to the GM search. Shanahan probably brought it up to Jed as they kept in touch throughout the process. It's different, I get it, but what's not good about it?

Not sure why he's lie about that
