Still don't get why the Yorks decided to try and erase the past.....

Banners, trophies, statues, ring of honor....plaster Levis with everything amazing we have done. Make it a true home field advantage.

If you read his book you'll discover this isn't true. He left the game because he was being blackballed by SF because they feared PR over his concussions, even though he was medically cleared a couple weeks after his final play and hasn't had any long term symptoms. He then had a chance to go to Denver with Mike Shanahan, but because he was just married and expecting his first child he saw it as a fitting time to end the chapter in his life of playing football. His wife doesn't care for football because she never watched it or cared for it, and then she never really knew him as a football player since his career ended pretty much right after they met.


Interesting. You learn something new every day

Kind of an anticlimactic way to exit football then . It would've been nice to have young around.

Blah blah something about "living in the past."

Listening to 49ers live... apparently they asked John Lynch about the DC vacancy? Did he say anything noteworthy? Could have heard incorrectly.

Missed that part, but I did catch him saying he didn't want to be a read and react defense. He wants to be an attacking style defense. To me, this means the d-line will do less 2-gapping and more 1-gapping. I wouldn't be surprised if we moved to a base 4-3 defense.

I'm glossing over the transcript and I don't see what you mentioned.

He mentioned it on the set when talking to Tim Ryan

I like the fact that he is having John McVay come in for a couple of days to pick his brain about the past success.
For not being a former 49er, Lynch gets what the 49ers past means to the Bay Area and fans

After Matt Millens WR fetish, I'm sure their front office was steering clear of WRs in the 1st round.

I think he was sincere when he talked about it too. He talked about not wanting to piggy-back off their success to give lip-service to the fans and to want to forge their own path... but it'd be silly to not pick the brains of great 49er alumni who do root for the organization.

I think Jed is super guilty of citing the 49ers of old when he needs some cheap positive PR.

This is one of the best things that has happened! Hopefully it's the beginning of a long and successful career for John Lynch!

Was Lynch ever a 49ers fan? The way he talked about how he went to Stanford during the late-dynasty years and played under Bill Walsh tells me he at least appreciated what we had going on back in the 80's.

Anyone read about Lynch's 9-year-old daughter's reaction to his hiring? It hurt but made me lol

Maybe not a fan, but a definite appreciation of what we were like in our glory years
