Jay Glazer‏ @JayGlazer49ers were looking to do what Denver did w John Elway and had Lynch meet w Kyle Shanahan this week.

The GM doesn't need to have a relationship with players. He needs to run a solid scouting organization and pick good players. This guy has no experience running anything--except to the men's room.

Wouldn't rule out the Niners trying to bring in Mark Dominik to backstop the Lynch hire. Dominik worked with both Shanny and Lynch in Tampa.

OK, now this would make a LOT of sense. If Lynch is GM, but he has Dominik to run the scouting and Gamble to run the pro player evaluation, then Lynch is more the "big picture" Elway role for sure.

This would actually turn out to be a decent FO if true.



I can't wait until the press conference.

I'm ok with this. We got Kyle. Lynch should be a good face and good at recruiting FA's. Just make sure to have strong scouts.

Dominik will likely be brought in as Lynch's personnel chief, the same exact setup Elway has in Denver. I imagine he and Gamble will handle most of the personnel and scouting load.

#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!

Great he's a good talker, can his communication skills find him talent? FOH

One thing is for sure, 49ers fans are smart and intelligent. let's give Lynch a chance. If he screws up we will be the first to let Jed and his Mom and Dad know.

If they bring in a good personnel guy then I REALLY like this.

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

Does this make you ok with it? Because if Lynch is essentially the "football lifer at the top" that everyone said they wanted a few weeks ago this could all turn out to be a great structure.
