I won't whine tho... I always liked him as a player. He was alright as an analyst. BUT GM?!!

We'll see wassup... I'd feel more comfortable if Shanny had something to do with this.

If it was announced as Lynch as VP of Football Operations and Mark Dominik as GM, would people still be so upset? My guess is it will be closer to that arrangement.

Good article on the Lynch/Shanahan connection. It says he called KS personally to talk about the Niners:

I guess KS liked what he heard.

He VOLUNTEERED to be GM...who ever has heard of such a stupid thing?

What does this have to do with his ability to work in a front office? Just stupid

I like it, But its ballsy as hell by York. To go through what we just went though and have the balls to hand Kyle the keys, and make this choice, it says a lot.

Jed York's reputation will never recover if this hire combo fails. If it works out, then everything will be forgiven quickly.

This combo is pretty much the ultimate boom or bust hire.

Of course you want a "football guy." Doesn't mean you hire some former player with ZERO experience to do a high level job.

Another dumb move. Similar moves like this include mike singleterry, tomsula, geep, o'neil, modkins and so forth.

There were so many good gm candidates and little competition and we pick a project. Not a good move.

He forgot #3 which is cut kapernick lol. Shock of a hire, but its time for some new eyes in the building, instead of constant in house hires.
