49ers hire John Lynch as GM

[ScottishPatriots]

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?

 

[Nikolai]

Annnnnnnnnnd, things like this are why Josh said no....

 

[farn]

Caserio, you & your boy Josh dodged a bullet my friend.

 

[blackglass3]

Maybe we can hire Greg Gumbel when BB retires.

 

[Delicate Genius]

 

[nabwong]

Damn.... I should have applied.

 

[Joey007]

This screams Matt Millen. Screams.

 

[Tony2046]

Surprising move. This would be Lynch's first job outside of being a player for an organization as far as I know and he goes straight to the top. Basically a rookie GM. Curious.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Well, he was a Patriot for about a month. . . .

 

[Nikolai]

Well, he was a Patriot for about a month. . . .

Yeah, he never fails to mention that when he's calling a Pats game.

 

[Love The Drake]

They said they wanted a winning culture

 

[Deus Irae]

Clever plan to get him out of the booth and help the entire country. Way to go, Jed!

 

[ScottishPatriots]

People trying to compare it to Elway at least Elway had experience even if it was in the Arena leeague plus what's the chances of a Peyton Manning level QB coming to you in free agency.

Elway basically hit the lottery.

On it's face this is crazy. Kyle Shanahan has to have bought into though. Was Lynch in Denver with Mike Shanahan? There may be a good relationship there, who knows.

I guess they got turned down by Zolak.

In fairness, John Lynch was the only guy with enough concussions to be stupid enough to take this job.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Stupid is as stupid does

 

[patchick]

That is genuinely bizarre. Lynch is an extremely intelligent guy, if anybody can make this kind of leap it's him, but...but...seriously, WTH?

 

[RobertWeathers]

I thought the hiring of Elway in DEN was absurd and that was a great move by the Bowlen family.

Lynch seems like a smart guy but that does not mean he is qualified to be a GM.

Maybe Stanford produces good GMs?

Only time will tell

F*cking hilarious!
