He has not a single minute of experience, so far as I know, dealing with scouts, scouting, agents (from the team side), contracts, team organization, team building, drafting, analyzing free agents, making roster decisions, salary cap management or anything at all relating to the management of a football team.

Good lord, you guys overrate running a scouting department and hiring scouts.

Each and every year, going back at least a decade, Chiefs fans have churned out considerably better "mock drafts" than the "professionals.

Lynch wasn't hired as a CPA or lawyer or genetic scientist. He wasn't hired as a criminologist or as the CEO of NASA.

He's the GM of a ****ing football team.

He's a lucky bastard.

So....Chiefs fans are equally qualified to be a general manager as people who spend years in the front office of an NFL team?

Nobody cares if teh Niners suck, but let's be honest, this guy just isn't qualified. Maybe he'll do well, but it'd be shocking as hell. He's never done ANY of this stuff before.

I mean, seriously -- they basically just picked a random good former NFL player and put him in charge of their football operations, and that seems perfectly ok with you?

It's ****ing football. The guy has spent his entire life in football.

Good grief. He hasn't been hired to design the first hyperspace craft.

He has never managed people, never disciplined or fired someone, never built a workplace culture. He has to do a lot more than drafting guys.

Matt Millen failed because he was learning a lot of these small things right away and made simple mistakes experienced GMs wouldn't make. Hell, time and time and time again ultra-experienced personnel guys like Pioli, Savage, Farmer, and Kokinos fail and fail hard. It's not an easy job. I'm sure he'll do fine drafting players. But how will he negotiate a trade deal, how will he discipline players and coaches, how will he respond to a PR crisis. It would be different if you're pairing him with Andy Reid or Bellichick. But he's paired with a head coach who's too raw to have all the answers himself.

Sure, no one will literally die when he sucks, but the chances that he WiLL suck are much higher than, I dunno, hiring someone who has done more than JUST play.

It's not that he played is the issue. It's that he has never been in management, anywhere, EVER, and has no experience whatsoever in the front office of an NFL team. I'd think that those things would make you alot more likely to succeed.

It's not impossible that he succeeds, but it seems a terribly strange choice given his utter lack of qualifications.

Every year GMs fail. Even very experienced GMs fail, like Pioli. It is a harder job than you make it out to be. Matt Millen was everything John Lynch is - spent his life playing football, then took a TV job, no FO experience. He is very possibly the worst GM in football history.

Name a GM with no scouting, coaching or FO experience that turned out good.

It worked when they did it with Mike Singletary.

Oh, wait. It didn't work at all.
