John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 268 | 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.

My shock over the Lynch hire, has been turning more and more optimistic as we go along

Something feels right

Especially as defensive minded GM,,,he knows what it takes to win - he would have been a great NE Patriot not just because he's white.

Doubt Lynch will provide any more insight than his other pre-SB interviews. Now, interviews after Shanny is officially hired may bring some new angles.
