That's right, he wanted the job. That's the first sign of somebody
that's going to put some effort into the job. He's going to have a
good HC and that's a better start than the team had with the last two
coaches.

You have to be hopeful here. Shanahan is unproven, but has shown he can run
an offense, and he has a pedigree (and potentially some fatherly advice).
Lynch wanted the job (yes, the other top choices all begged off). He's a
smart guy, and knows Shanahan. They should work will together (if allowed).
The Adams hire also appears good in foresight. But with Jed involved all
that matters will be hindsight. Stay the hell away Jed.

Any young HC is unproven. He's got a lot of good assistant experience and he learned a lot from his dad about coaching. Add the performance of the Falcon offense and the nines finally got an offense minded coach that they were looking for since Harbaugh left.

Lynch will have some help, He wants to work with Shanahan and Shanahan wants him.They've got a player personnel/scouting spot taken care of and that's not a bad start. There aren't many, or any free agent quarterbacks to be had. Same for the available quarterbacks in the draft, so go defense furst, draft the QB and make hm a project, keep Ponder and get rid of Gabbert.

Kaepernick might be inclined to stay with the Niners after finding out the Niner have young HC who ran very good offense. In that case, it's a matter of whether the Niner and/or the new HC want him. Can he be salvaged or is he so set in his ways that he'll continue to a half game QB?
