Not as much as it would have if he was the guy running everything. His job(if he is in fact the guy) will be focused pretty much exclusively on personnel and won't entail any of the other responsibilities that a GM typically has.

This guy brings in respect first and foremost. I doubt we see any more bs from the higher ups from here on out. Good 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.
Makes me feel a bit better. Glazer is usually on the money. Sure hope he's right.
Except when he said Chip Kelly won't be fired.

Just as 49ers gave GM John Lynch 6-year contract, plan is to offer Kyle Shanahan a 6-year deal, per sources. SF wants HC-GM tied together.
Man, this better work out. Dead salary for fired Coaches and Gm's is gonna put a dent in cash flow if they lay a turd.

"The idea to hire Lynch was his own. He personally called Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan about a week ago, and volunteered for the job."
Which basically means Shanahan brought him to the Niners. Which is basically the HC/GM team They said they were going for to begin with.
The name is a shock (and the FO structure is gonna be different than in recent years in SF), but it's exactly what they set out to do.
Now, if Dominik never gets hired as the head Personnel guy, then fine, something is amiss. But fans wanted a "football guy" like Young at the top to be the barrier between the HC/FO and ownership. Well, they got that guy in Lynch.
Which side is Marathe, FO or ownership?
Ownership. Except when contracts need to be drawn up.
Hopefully.
Fingers crossed they let Lynch and Shanahan build a team!

I'm guessing he's just someone to hold the title while Kyle does all the GM legwork.

I'll wait until all the new appointments are made and the new hierarchy announced before looking for a bridge.

Mark Dominik will likely be the guy handling personnel for Lynch. Lynch has the GM title but it sounds more like he'll have Executive Vice President of Football Ops type role.

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.
All this does is insure that Paraage gets to keep his job that much longer. Now he doesn't have to worry about a GM handling the salary cap instead of him.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA, and to think that I was getting heat in the GM search thread for saying we were going to get a puppet GM. Ha!
