Yes
So he was touched by hand of G**. He'll be ok.
Can also thank him for switching him to safety from QB.

Their own history.
They know that Shanahan and Lynch are unfireable for at least four years anyway.

Now I'm thinking Kyle pick offensive guys. John Lynch picks defensive guys. He should know defense. And maybe Gamble can fill in the gaps.

What?
If Shanahan was on board, then okay, but really?
Come to think of it, Lynch was calling one of ATL's earlier playoff games and was gushing about Shanahan as an HC candidate.

I guess it was too good to be true to land Shanahan and a quality gm

Welp, as long as we got Kyle I'm satisfied. Let's see what happens
Why would Kyle come after this debacle?
Lol still in disbelief that Kyle is coming huh? Why would we hire a guy that Kyle didn't want? Chances are, we didn't

Via PFT
Mark Dominik would be my guess. Lynch knows him from his Tampa Days, Shanahan knows him from his Tampa days.
Basically they are going for the Broncos setup.
Lynch-Public face of the front office and franchise
Marathe-Contracts+salary cap
Dominik+Gamble-Personnel
Not bad. And Kyle Shanahan - F'in BOSS

#49ers indeed hiring John Lynch as GM. Jed York was wowed by Lynch's leadership & communication skills; plus Stanford link to Bill Walsh
These are the things you hire a Vice President of Football Operations for........
1000x this!

The thing that trips me out the most it's a 6 year deal for a guy who has no experience inside any football offices. What the f**k Jeb??? So much for your puppet Paraag putting together money saving deals together.

Not equivalent. Elway ran huge businesses before running the Broncos. He is an excellent businessman and negotiator. What's John Lynch EVER DONE?

So, Kyle Shanahan signed off on this since he's pulling the strings?
