49ers hire John Lynch as GM

[WinstonSmith]

Hopefully the related large doses of antidepressants and alcohol that Shanahan will be consuming over the next week will affect his preparation for Sunday.

I think there is something about Jed York that people do not trust him. That is why so many super qualified candidates did not even interview.
What a great opportunity for Lynch. Hope he can get along with York.

Lol could've been worse, they could've hired Phil Simms.

This reminds me of when the Bruins hired Neely......and he knows jack squat....

 

[JayNM]

Wasn't this guy a safety few years ago??

Something tells me this was a bad hiring

This screams Matt Millen. Screams.

I think john will do well. As long as he doesn't take a wide receiver in the first round in 3 consecutive drafts

@AndyJohnson and this is why the 49ers job is not particularly desirable and border-line toxic. York doing York things.

I give Lynch/Shanahan 2-3 years before they are fired.

Coach got to pick his GM.

Kansas City should be feeling better, they get to keep Ballard.

Didn't he just sign with the Colts ?

49ers were so close to a SB a few years ago.

Now that team is a complete mess.

 

[Joker]

Shanahan obviously asked Chris Carter's advice on the new 49er GM....

You mean like firing a coach that led you to being in the playoffs every year and to the Superbowl?

 

[ChessToCheckers]

Easily 10x better than Grigson!

A rookie GM. Hmmmm..... Do I see a Patriots/Niner one-sided trade in his near future?

 

[chasa]

thats a shame, i kinda enjoyed his work in the booth

 

[Patriot Missile]

Talk about not paying your dues. Sure he could turn out to be pretty good but surprised they went with somone with so little experience. Scratch that, its Jed York, one of the worst owners in the NFL. His imprint is felt in a big way to that team. His own fans hate him.

 

[Bill Lee]

Wasn't this guy a safety few years ago??

Yes, but at least he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

Odd choice, but good luck to him he seems like a nice guy.

 

[TomPatriot]

Jed York steal Irsays pill bottles? What the hell?

That guy was calling a game for Fox a few weeks ago, what makes him NFL GM ready?

He got that job over Grigson? WTF?
