Hate it! He has no idea about personnel. Trying to follow the Elway model and just pick a pure football guy.

He won't be the chief personnel guy is my guess. Just like Matt Russell in Denver handles a bulk of the personnel work.

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

Lynch: next M. Millen or next Elway? These ex-player-with-no-previous-executive-experience-experiments worry me. Different skill-set.

Elway had experience. He also had more talent to work with. Flubbed last season though.

I like it. Don't care that he doesn't have any experience, he will get to learn while we rebuild. Bright enough football mind to be sticking to the sport this long after his playing days.

Feels like we have a pretty good balance of offensive and defensive minds with our new regime. Very excited to see what the Lynch Shanahan era can bring.
f**k it, being a 49er fan I have to expect these types of moves by Jed.

I guess I just have to hope he gets lucky with this hire.

John Lynch is EXACTLY who you'd want turning a place around. Ultimate out-work-the-world type with zero politics to him and has different level of respect from players and coaches.
He will has no control over the players that a picked or the 53. He's the only one that would agree to those terms. He better not bring that terrible tampa 2 defense with him!! That defense sucks!!

Hoping thats his +1 per Pro Football Talk

I mean, if it was announced as Lynch as VP of Football operations and Dominik as GM, would everyone be pissed? It's basically the same thing.

How is Dominik when it comes to personnel?

He was hit or miss, made some great draft picks, made some pretty poor ones and some guys just flat out imploded in Tampa(Josh Freeman).

His biggest issue as GM was handing out big money to FA flops like Eric Wright and Dashon Goldson. Guessing that won't be his primary focus with the 49ers.

That is what I am expecting. If Lynch is bringing a personnel guy, Dominik makes too much sense, he has connections to everyone, although it could still be someone out of left field as well so we'll have to see.

With all the Dominik rumors the last few days I can't see how it isn't him. Makes too much sense.
