John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 248 | 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.

This thread has gone to hell. Why in the hell are we still talking about Harbaugh?

Man some people can't let things go.

No question. Bringing back a real WCO and a true X's & O's coach. Finally got a true President of Football Operations in house and reshaping the FO.

Back to Lynch.

HOUSTON — Gary Kubiak doesn't do idle.

The 23-year NFL coaching veteran has been retired for all of a month and for most of that time has been back in Houston, his hometown and the host of Super Bowl LI.

The place is familiar — although spruced up for the week-long festival — and will always be so.

His routine, not so much.

"I want to work," he told The Denver Post on Wednesday. "I still get up every day at 4:30 and I want something to do. Lately I've been getting on my tractor and messing around the farm."

"My next stop is not going to be coaching, and I'm kind of excited about that because there are a lot of things about the game that I've always loved. I love evaluating, I love the draft, I love evaluating players and doing those types of things. I had some really interesting conversations with some colleges. So we'll see."

Pick up the phone and give him a call John. A guy with that much experience, a former NFL QB and long time OC and HC, looking to branch out into personnel work, could be interesting.

To the bolded, could it be?... might it be?... perhaps would be?...

Okay, I won't get my hopes up... but it's hard not to try to connect the dots with that statement.

I'd be surprised if he came back that quickly after just quitting as HC but a front office job behind the scenes would certainly be less stressful than HC of the defending SB champs. Would love it if it happened but I won't hold my breath.

Plus he very well could be talking to Elway and going back to Denver as a front office guy, wouldn't have to move either.

Exactly like I said...a great NFL coach has to be flexible, which Jim Harbaugh has proven he's not. Give him a roster of pro bowlers, he's able to win. His "quarterback whisperer" reputation was just hot air, his lip service to bringing the WCO was a flat out lie, and his constant mismanagement of the game clock make me question if you know what you're talking about.

Sauces tell me he's grinding. Phone is attached to his ear hole. Using his relationships to M4GA!
