Not that 6 years of contract mean anything for the Niners, since the past two coaches got a 4-year deal and are being paid by the Niners for a few more years, since both were released after only one year.
The thing with Lynch is that they are trying to compare with John Elway, but they forget that, before coming to the Broncos, Elway were a co-owner of the AFL Denver team, and even led the team to a National Title, so he did have experience with front-office things, even if in a smaller scale. Lynch comes straight from a broadcast booth to a war room. I don't like the move. If the HC was a Belichick, a Reid, a Harbaugh or someone with experience, then it could be a good balance, but by having a rookie GM AND a rookie HC at the same time, I really feel they are gambling a lot at this.
