The San Francisco 49ers are bringing aboard Hall of Fame candidate John Lynch to fill their general manager position, per various reports Sunday evening.
He’ll be the guy replacing Trent Baalke, whom the Niners fired after Week 17.
Baalke had been San Francisco’s GM since 2011, officially, and had general manager-like duties the year before. And, for those who remember, he managed to receive the 2011 NFL Executive of the Year award for his efforts in getting the 49ers’ roster to where it was.
But what went wrong?
Anyone who’s followed the Niners can tout on Baalke’s failures.
