The San Francisco 49ers are about to make a hire that has stunned the football world because it's a name that came out of nowhere.
Lynch is the definition of a big get. The Fox Sports analyst played safety for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1993-2003, and then played four more seasons for the Denver Broncos.
