How many people thought when the Broncos hired Elway that he'd be so successful? Stanford boys ain't dumb.

Glazer tweeted that the 49ers wanted to emulate what the Broncos have done with former player John Elway as the face and leader of the franchise and “wanted to change the whole attitude of the organization.”


Blatantly trying to copy the Broncos (even going as far as to hire a Shanahan as coach).

He'll need all 6 years to clean 49ers roster and build a new one

Yikes, I guess this means Shanahan is de facto GM and Lynch is glorified director of player personell?

So what happens when players get cut?

"You've been Lynch-ed"?

That should over well in the bay area.

Lynch always came across as an arrogant, know it all prick to me. This feels so much like the Matt Millen hire its incredible. Lynch has never scouted a day in his life and he gets a 6 yr deal... How York keeps the team after this debacle will be beyond me. Hopefully mommy will take the team away form him soon.

Idk why, but I don't see John Lynch being a good GM at all, especially in San Fran. That is a God awful fit for him.

Being that Trump is president, John Lynch may be over qualified for his job.

John Lynch and the Shanahan's are really close. If there was any doubt that San Fran would hire Kyle Shanahan, it is out the window now. As soon as the Super Bowl is over...

perhaps YOU were hating on them at the time but used him as a source of your misplaced hate instead

but I laughed at the hire anyway. Never would have imagined the 49ers to hire Lynch as the beckon of hope to turn things around without any prior experience.

oh wait.. Jim Tomsula just farted some where.
