49er owner jed york shocked the world tonight, agreeing to a deal with former nfl safety and fox analyst john lynch as his new gm. apparently, john called kyle shanahan last week and volunteered for the job but has no experience at this position. jed interviewed nine candidates but brought lynch in over the weekend and agreed to a six-year deal. john's a class act. he's a finalist for the pro football hall of fame this year. 45-year-old won a super bowl ring with the buccaneers, beat the raiders in 2003. so he knows the game but has no front office experience of any kind. this tells me that kyle shanahan, who was a front-runner for the head coaching job, is going to get final say on the roster and have perhaps more power than lynch. this may be why most gms who interviewed with experience turned this job down. jed york is putting his neck on the line with these two hires, a head coach and general manager of whom neither has experience at their positions.
