Haha. This is true. The other part of it is letting the football guy do the football stuff without interference from the non football guys.

Actually he didn't. He ran an Arena League team. His front office experience there was about as relevant as Tomsula's head coaching experiences.
I think 49er fans legitimately know what it feels like to have an Al Davis type of owner now. I wish jed would get a new hobby.

I haven't seen anyone say "OMG, BEST HIRE EVER, AMAZING, 49ers guaranteed to win 5 of the next 8 Superbowls!!!!! AWESOME BALLS!!!"

You arent even doing that. You are trying to convince everyone its a good hire. When their is no evidence or history to back that up.

You sure? Try here: http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/niners/187900-49ers-new-front-office-structure/

I'm not trying to convince anyone that its a good hire. I'm saying that its worth keeping an open mind. I don't know which way it will go but I'm going to wait and see before freaking out and throwing a huge spazz fit like some are doing.

Its like you have to agree that this is the worst hire ever and that the 49ers are destined to be in the dumpster for all eternity or you're a homer and I'm not playing that stupid game.

Well he's certainly an experienced personnel guy. He wouldn't be focusing on full GM responsibilities, just personnel, might even do a good job.

That's where I think this front office is going...

GM: Lynch

EVP: Marathe

Dr. of Player Personnel: Dominik (direct ties to Lynch in TB along with Shanahan)

Dr. of Pro Personnel: Gamble

Dr. of College Scouting: Dennis Hickey (former GM of Dolphins; Dr. of Scouting and Dr. of Player Personnel for Bucs; ties to Lynch)

It's a mesh of the Broncos structure with former GM brain trust similar to the Falcons.

I was addressing that there's nothing wrong with being bitter about the hire for a little bit. We don't all have to be homers or sheep. If anybody had of suggested Lynch to be our GM before today they wouldn't been laughed at.

It would serve Jed/Paraag right if Shanny laughed his butt off and stayed another year in Atlanta

You'd rather see those two fail than have hope for success for our team? Sometimes I don't understand the irrational thinking. I'm pretty sure Shanahan is one that approved JL hire.

Why not just go all in and hire Matt Millen. He has experience as well.

He has experience and failed miserably so, we know what we got there... we don't know if this guy's gonna fail, not yet

Mark Dominik would actually be great imo. He's smart, inovative and has lost of experience. He could hold Lynch's hand quite well. But he does usevisit Walter Football for his mock drafts though!! fact

Hold his hand

If he loves Watler, then he probably sees how they hate this hire LOL
i like this move to be honest!! Pull the trigerr and take a chance
Pros:
Lynch appears to be smart
Stanford grad
Link to Bill Walsh
Definite Leader
Test BFFs to see if they would leak him as a candidate (very smart plan)

Cons:
Don't think he knows enough about being a GM so seems we are keeping our scouting staff minus Baalke.


Man, the cons outweigh the pros.

That's a lot of doctors for a football team!

Tell me about it! We don't even know what his role is going to be. So far it's looking like it's mostly going to be Shanny's show to run and Lynch scouting and giving some input/advise in FA and the draft. Frankly, I'm more interested in who's going to our next DC.
