49ers surprise the NFL world and hire John Lynch to be their GM by Josh Dubow on Jan 29, 2017, 9:28 PM Advertisement
 SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers have hired former NFL safety and Fox broadcaster John Lynch to be their general manager. After a lengthy search that included interviews with nine other publicly identified candidates, team CEO Jed York settled on a mystery candidate when he gave the job to Lynch on Sunday. ESPN first reported the deal, saying Lynch had gotten a six-year contract. After playing for former Niners coach Bill Walsh in college at Stanford, Lynch went on to have a stellar 15-year career with Tampa Bay and Denver that included three All-Pro selections and one Super Bowl title with the Buccaneers. He's a finalist this year for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Since retiring in 2008, Lynch has been an analyst at Fox. ___ For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL SEE ALSO: The 30 highest-paid tennis players of all time
