FILE - Retired San Francisco 49ers general manager John McVay stands next to a model of the planned 49ers NFL football stadium at the Preview Center in Santa Clara, Calif., Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2011. John McVay, the executive who helped launch the San Francisco 49ers dynasty and grandfather of Rams coach Sean McVay, has died. He was 91. The 49ers announced Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022 that McVay had died.
“This is a very sad day for our organization and the entire football community," the team said in a statement."John McVay was a driving force in constructing teams for our five Super Bowl titles. Most importantly, John was a Hall of Fame person who built genuine and sincere relationships with front office staff, coaches and players. John’s commitment and contributions to the 49ers created the standard and tradition we strive to carry on today.
McVay originally joined the Niners in 1979 with Walsh as the director of player personnel. Over the next 17 seasons he had various titles including general manager and director of football operations. He played a role in building the NFL's model organization with players like Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice and Steve Young.
Before joining the 49ers, McVay was the head coach of the Giants for two-plus seasons. He had a 14-23 record for New York and his most memorable game featured a late fumble by Joe Pisarcik when the Giants could have kneeled out the clock. Herm Edwards returned it for a winning TD for Philadelphia in a 19-17 win on Nov. 19, 1978, that is now known as the “Miracle at the Meadowlands.”
