I really don't want a player talent evaluator for our GM this time, or at least not someone primarily focused on that. Scouting is a team effort and there's a lot of it in every building, plus it will never be an exact science. I really hope our next GM is more focused on how to get the most out of a roster and how coaching can influence that.

Agree. If that's what the Bears are after they can just make it easy and promote Kelly (whichI suppose they could end up doing if they hire a football ops guy).malk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 12:18 pm I really don't want a player talent evaluator for our GM this time, or at least not someone primarily focused on that.

He's had a bunch front office jobs including one with the Bears back in the day:
Brown is in his fifth year as the director of college scouting in Indianapolis. In recent years, the Colts have received rave reviews for their draft selections, which have become a core part of their roster. Prior to joining Indianapolis, Brown spent two seasons as the vice president of player personnel with the Cleveland Browns from 2014-15. Before his role with Cleveland, Brown was in Washington for six seasons as the team's director of pro personnel from 2008-13. Brown's first meaningful major role came with the Chicago Bears, when he spent seven years as the team's assistant director of pro personnel from 2001-07.

He's qualified to have really any type of "GM" role George ends up creating. Maybe he's the GM and Harbaugh has final say over the 53? Who knows. I'm happy that none of the names seem super stupid to me yet

Indy is respectable.
Morocco Brown sounds like a character Samuel L. Jackson would play in a Quentin Tarantino movie. So maybe he says MF’er a lot?
But then he used to be in our front office.
No soup for him. Next!

Frazier has put together a solid defense in Buffalo. So maybe it's not a terrible decision. But I think I'm on the McDaniels or Harbaugh bandwagon. Maybe Bowles. But I can see where/how this path is leading towards Leslie.

Not me. The GM is ultimately the guy who pulls the trigger on draft day and when evaluating FA talent. He’d better have a damn good eye for on field talent. Certainly I want him to evaluate coaching talent as well, but once the coaching staff has been chosen, getting the most out of the existing roster is their job. And if you have chosen legitimate coaching staff, the GM needs to fuck off and stay in his lane.malk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 12:18 pm I really don't want a player talent evaluator for our GM this time, or at least not someone primarily focused on that.

I love the way the Colts have built their team over the past number of years. Very intrigued by Morocco Brown. Also interested in a Dusty Mauve with white trim…but that is a conversation for another time.

We should have that'd be great. Just read that stephen Ross won't hire Harbaugh into Miami because he wants him to stay at Michigan (his alma mater)

Jesus Christ…
Here we go again. These stupid fucks haven’t learned anything over the years.
It’s simple: you hire a new GM first and then the new GM hires the coach. The new coach puts together his own coaching staff. Everyone stays in their lane and everyone is 100% accountable.
This is the same stupid shit that made Jim Finks resign in the 1980’s.
McCaskey and Phillips have to be products of inbreeding. Incompetence at its finest.

Because the first candidate they’re interviewing is like a third tier guy.
