1) The San Francisco 49ers hiring former player and color analyst John Lynch as their new general manager was met with plenty of skepticism. I get it, the poster boy for failed GMs is ex-player/ex-color analyst Matt Millen, who was really awful running the Detroit Lions. But there have been former players that have had success in front office positions.
I like the out of the box thinking regarding the move, but the ‘Niners will have to own-it if it backfires in their face.
2) I also like the rumored hire of Kyle Shanahan as their next head coach.
