Dominik

The 49ers are desperate to find a taker for their GM vacancy, which is so unappealing around the league because likely head coach Kyle Shanahan is expected to wield major personnel say and no one wants to work for CEO Jed York. Dominik was fired as Bucs GM following the 2013 season. He’s spent the last three years working for ESPN, becoming one of the network’s better analysts.

Dominik is probably looking at the title of director of player personnel if hired by the Niners. Lynch has zero experience in personnel matters or scouting, so it will be important for San Francisco to find him a capable sidekick. Dominik was the Bucs’ director of pro scouting from 1997-2008 before being promoted to GM in 2009 and getting canned in 2013. He’s been working for ESPN as an analyst and does a great job there. Dominik would be a sound hire in the Bay.

La Canfora confirms multiple previous reports that dysfunction has returned to the Redskins’ front office -- a recurring theme during Dan Snyder’s reign of terror -- and in-limbo GM Scot McCloughan is expected to be ousted after April’s draft. In addition to Dominik, La Canfora mentions in-house scout Alex Santos as a candidate for the GM role. Long term, there is no hope for the Redskins’ organization to build a non-laughingstock as long as Snyder owns the team.
