One of the top guarantees in the NFL offseason every year is a coach on the San Francisco 49ers being poached.

Whether it is to be a head coach, a coordinator, or even in the front office as a general manager, there is always someone who gets poached from the 49ers. It is something that becomes easily noticeable at the NFL scouting combine with so many familiar 49ers on different teams in one place.

General manager John Lynch was asked about this and he gave a pretty blunt answer.

"It gets annoying at times, like, leave us alone," said Lynch. "But you know what, there is a source of pride. That's part of it. I think that's paying it back to the league. I care greatly about this game. So identifying good people, having systems in place that train them to get better throughout the process, being demanding on them, but also having fun in doing so. Knowing who you are as a football team.

"All those things, I think contribute. We give people opportunities to express their opinions in things like Draft meetings. So I think people come out ready and people have identified that. Like I did say, it is a challenge to try to survive the constant brain drain really. But fortunately, a lot of people want to be with us. So we've been able to identify good people to bring in their stead. So it's something that you just have to deal with and we have."

I'm sure Lynch could've spoke more at length about how annoying it is when people on their staff gets poached. It's not just the fact that they are losing a valuable person, but the fact that they have to try to figure out who to fill the void left by them. The double whammy from a coach or front office person has to grow frustrating as it happens every single offseason for the last five years.

And it's not like the 49ers could simply deny these people their opportunity with other teams either. It's just the unfortunate side of the business for them. This is why the greatest skill that Kyle Shanahan and Lynch has is identifying coaches. They are elite at that. If only they could take half of that skill into the players they draft, then they would be reeling in Pro Bowl and All-Pro players every season.
