Doubt it's a coincidence that 3/3 of the 49ers guys who got HC jobs are all in the AFC, and 1/2 of the GMs are in the AFC (with the one in the NFC going to the Commanders, who don't view the 49ers as a rival/threat because they stink). Not too many NFC teams lining up to give the 49ers free 3rd round picks.
I know if I were the GM of the Bengals, unless the guy is the second coming of Bill Belichick I would refuse to hire any minority candidates from the Browns, Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs, or Bills because of this system of rewards. Giving your division rivals, or your biggest threats in the AFC multiple free 3rd round picks? Hard pass.
Agreed. Classic example of right intent, wrong outcome.
