John Lynch - 49ers GM | Page 291 | 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.

Not sure how that is true. Riddick at lest has NFL front office experience.

Well, let's take a poll based on what we know now (or at least all that we've heard up to this point): Which combo would you have preferred for the Niners going forward...Lynch/Shanahan or Riddick/McDaniels? My vote goes to Lynch/Shanahan and for me, it's pretty clear cut.

Yeah, Lynch/Shanahan for me by a mile. I wouldn't want a crybaby(Riddick) as a GM. He would cry about everything and anything that doesn't go his way. Lol.. He would lead the Niners by being the real whiner.

lol of course Lynch/Shanahan would win. They are the SF coach and GM. That doesn't mean they are better combo then Riddick/McDaniels. As of right now its probably a wash.

That's what I'm asking - what do you (and others in NT) think as of now...you say it's probably a wash, I say it's not a wash, that I prefer the Lynch/Shanahan combo. The poll I mentioned was just this - I'm curious what others think as of now...a wash or would they prefer one combo over the other if given the choice (obviously there's no choice now as it's a done deal).

Just met John Lynch at Cinepolis in Del Mar about 15 minutes ago. Very nice guy. He basically said our roster is trash (in a nice way), and he has a lot of work to do. Says he is coming down to SD on the weekends while his kids are in school, while he still can. Talked to him about the renovations at the theater. He even remembered my name after our conversation. I'm on board with Lynch. Not sure if he will be a good GM, but he is humble and excited to get to work.

Ha, just like the Chip Kelly report where Kelly expected to get the Jags OC job by walking in the door. Riddick can suck it.
