Thread: Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch prepare to split authority on the 49ers roster

So he's going to be HC, OC, and half-GM? Oh boy, we dodged a bullet with this guy I think. I would be shocked if this turns out well.

Even his dad had OC's.

Wait and see. I hope he crushes it. For some reason. I like the Shanahans and John Lynch. It's hard not to wish success upon them. For me at least.

Me two, next season the 49ers will be the nfc team I look out for.

I wish them well, I just don't think that model is a recipe for success

So how soon will John Elway call John Lynch to talk trades?

The Broncos’ general manager laughed during an interview this week: “Actually, he just beeped in while we were talking,” Elway said. “So I’ll return his call once I get off the phone with you.”

It’s not surprising that Lynch is calling Elway these days. No, not to ask about trades, but to pose this question: How do I do this?

Lynch, 45, is the 49ers’ just-hired general manager with zero front-office experience. And the only current GM who can relate to his current situation is Elway, 56, who was a greenhorn NFL executive when he joined Denver in 2011.

Those 49ers fans who view Lynch’s inexperience with skepticism will be encouraged by his parallels to Elway, one of his closest friends.

I bet; wonder if he'll make it to Halloween before Elway blocks him.
