Why would that be? What defense do you think he played in when he was with the Broncos? And why would the GM have any impact on what system the head coach chooses to run?

I'm freaking out irrationally because this hire is so stupid. I'm just assuming that because he has so little experience in personal that he'll gravitate towards what he knows best. And if Kyle gave the go ahead on Lynch that's the ONLY area of expertise I could see Lynch giving him.

Per source new 49ers G.M. John Lynch will hire a personnel specialist as his No. 2. He already knows who it will be.

Either this hire will make Jed and Co look like absolute geniuses or it will fully confirm that this is the worst run franchise in football. I'm not too optimistic, they made it way too complicated going with too many moving parts instead of hiring an accomplished executive who would have a far lesser learning curve.

@CamInman: #49ers indeed hiring John Lynch as GM. Jed York was wowed by Lynch's leadership & communication skills; plus Stanford link to Bill Walsh.

Jed liked his connection to Walsh? Is that the angle? Sure served Harbaugh well lol

April Fools Advanced!

Jed always finds a way to sabotage the franchise!

I hope he brings in help, like another experience GM or McVay type.

Broncos talk radio guy (vic lombard) loves him.


"John Lynch is one of the smartest humans to don a helmet I've ever known. He will dominate as an NFL GM. Congrats my man!!"

"John Lynch played a big role in the Broncos recruitment of PFM. He's so well-connected in this league. Long relationship with the Shanahans."
