A league source tells Profootballtalk.com that the 49ers may ultimately not hire Trent Baalke as GM, and instead opt to pair Michael Lombardi with Jim Harbaugh as general manager and head coach.
"Lombardi and Harbaugh have a close relationship," the source said. "I think Lombardi is ending up there." Baalke was initially expected to be hired "within 48 hours" midway through last week, but it was never announced. Lombardi and Harbaugh also spent time together in Oakland, when Lombardi oversaw some personnel decisions and Harbaugh coached quarterbacks. It's a match that would likely be much more appealing to fans.

Can we "fire" the yorks while we are at it? 
Harbaugh will be announced as the University of Michigan's new coach as early as tomorrow.
...and I would be thrilled to hear it. 
His dad just didn't care and mailed it in, which was the biggest problem.As to the OP, I'd be a little surprised if Lombardi is a serious candidate after he basically called the GM search a farce after his phone interview.
shouldn't have signed the GM so quick
