It doesn't make any sense and it certainly doesn't make any sense for Lynch to be a puppet for the next half decade when he was earning plenty from Fox.
I would be surprised if PFM were hired as a GM right now, and I would view it as a considerable risk. Not necessarily a bad risk, but it would be a risky move. I think PFM needs some executive experience at a lower level before being an NFL GM. I don't know what experience Lynch has that makes him a worthy hire for the 9ers. Lynch is a smart guy, but he's not PFM smart, so maybe Lynch has been doing executive stuff on the down low that I am unaware of?
