John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 190 | 49ers Webzone Forum

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.

I wont be surprised if we dont hire him.

I think Peters was the guy that he had in mind to hire as his #2 guy.

When Walsh came back on his second stint as GM, he admittedly wasn't prepare as needed. Whiffed badly on Reggie McGrew.

Going to have to lean on Tom Gamble and the current scout evaluation.

Very good possibility, especially with later picks... but being at #2, hopefully that's almost a shoe-in. Unless we take DeShaun Watson which would be stupid.

So glad to see Lynch's aggressive approach. Identify the guy you want and go f*n get him. Baalke's wait and see approach was so frustrating.

Hope he's the same way in FA>

Draft tip for Lynch-Myles Garrett is good. If Myles Garrett is there at #2, draft Myles Garrett.

Amazing. Something he already has that baalke didn't have is charisma. Free agents are gonna like him.

Lets hope so. Another thing that FA's will like is Shanahan's system (at least the offensive guys).

Lynch said in the transcript thst he reports to Jed when he was asked if Paraag was his boss

But...but...but... Al Guido is in charge of football decisions!

Had to be difficult for #Broncos personnel man Adam Peters to leave Denver, with what they are building. The opportunity in SF was too good.

If Lynch opted to coach DBs on the side as well, I doubt anyone here would mind all that much.

I was excited by the change right away. Lynch bringing something we desperately need--credibility. Help making the franchise attractive again. Still hesitant because it was SO out of left field.

But it's looking like we have a guy who can connect the dots, at one point, to me, the least appreciated FO value.

Now I'm starting to feel GOOD about it.

Almost post Week 1 good. Scary.

Very encouraged by Lynch wasting no time in getting a top scout from a winning organization to be his partner. he has gamble and peters so far, have a feeling he'll try to get a former gm type in there as well for the pro personnel aspect of it. peters seems to be more of a super college scout but i could be wrong

Don't think Lynch would put up with AD and his BS. That whole situation was retarded going into the season. He managed to f**ked up the team 2years in a row with his same BS indecision.

didnt even think of that. i dont think lynch would be a coach/gm but he'll definitely be at practices giving pointers if he notices something wrong. i get the feeling that hes going to build us into a bully and I cant f**king wait. he seems like the kind of guy who doesnt tolerate soft players. we consistently get punked by seattle, i think that is gonna stop very soon
