9ers hire former Lions GM Mayhew

[fullxtension]

John Lynch added another experienced NFL personnel man to his front office, with the 49ers’ new GM announcing (via CSNBayArea.com’s Matt Maiocco, on Twitter) Martin Mayhew will join him in San Francisco. Mayhew will come to San Francisco as a senior personnel executive.

The former Lions GM spent last season with the Giants but was linked to a Lynch-led front office after the 49ers made their seismic hire. Mayhew served under Jerry Reese for one year as director of football operations/special projects, but his more notable personnel-related tenure came in Detroit. Mayhew succeeded Matt Millen, whom many have brought up recently in light of the 49ers’ unorthodox Lynch decision, as Lions GM and served in that capacity for nearly eight years.

Well, at least there is 1 team we will not have to worry about.

9ers hire a broadcaster with no experience to be GM and then hire Mayhew as his right hand man.

This sounds oddly familiar.

Methinks you detroiters might have a new member joining the 0-16 club soon

Having lived in southern California for years and listening to those bay area bitches bray about the 9'ers, this couldn't happen to a more deserving team. Let's hope he has as long a tenure in San Fran as he had in Detroit, with just as much success.

I want a job in the NFL. If you only have to be better than Millen, most of us could be a personnel specialist.

Classic.

I remember a lot of bitch ass 49er fans talking mad shit when they had Harbaugh as a coach and we had Schwartz.
