And that suspension allowed the Yankees to grow the core 4 of Petite Jeter posada and Rivera without trading them for the star- 25,324 replies

whats the rumoured price on wentz?
-
If he really wanted a promotion why didnt he take more off Ron's plate? In my work when my superior transfers/retires and we are with out for a few weeks i jump to take some of the work so i show that i can do the work and move up myself. If Smith didnt then its on him

Big picture is awesome. My career is big picture but i have guys under me whos job it is to fill in the details. Im hoping Smith is the details guy when it comes to players.

Since Hurney is Senior advisor of facilitation and Mayhew the GM make Smith the AGM he gets a bump in role and can learn the GM duties and it will keep him around a couple more yrs

If Hurney stays in his lane and is just the facilitator and allows Rodgers to handle the contracts and cap and Smith/Mayhew handle the players then hell be fine. The isssue is will he stay in his lane
-
If they hire 2 of RR finalists then Hurnwys title is not gm. If it is it blocks most other people from coming over. Unless its hurney as gm and mayhew as AGM which would be terrible
-
If its Hurney as GM no chance cowden comes over. It would be a lateral move. That would mean smith stays and maybe gets the AGM bump. If Hurney comes as senior advisor or vp of football ops cowden slides in as GM and smith as Agm.

DING DING DING DING you hit the nail on the money. Kyle Smith is by all accounts is a pheonminal at player selection but from what ive read he hasnt handled much if any of the admin and might not be the people person that RR is looking for. Being an AGM Cowden probably assisted in the admin work as has Stokes. Mayhew was a GM and has definately done the admin work. Everyone interviewed has most likely done some of the GM Admin work as for people skills not sure. Rivera is probably aware if he hires from the outside it will piss off Smith so he needs to be sure that his new GM has a past of selecting players for when smith leaves. For as much as i like smith im ok with it because Rivera is building a synergestic relationship with all departments and if that helps us win Im fine with Smith leaving. If we get Schoen or Cowden even better. Ya were gonna have to wait i have a feeling theyre gonna beat the Chiefs.

You wrote what i was thinking. Id like to add this. Smart people know their limitations. I always say that "i know what i know and i know what i don't and when i don't ill find someone that does". I get the feeling that Ron has this same philosophy. He came in with full control and cleaned house thinking he could do everything. He probably realized that that wasn't possiible and needed help. I have a feeling that Ron pushed for Wright to get the business side off his plate. He probably came in thinking that he could have a front office structure like he had thru the season but realized that the Admin side was to much for him. So now he needs a GM to take more off his plate. Ron by all accounts is a smart man and a strong leader. A good leader knows his limitations and surrounds himself with people that will challenge him and not be a yes man. Ron has started to build a culture here and wants someone that can continue to build it in the front office. I saw the term football emporer in the thread and by all accounts thats what he is. He is the BOSS and everything comes to him. Doesn't mean hes going to do everything just means that he is in the loop on everything.

question is if cowden is in as GM why do you need hurney? could lead to another Brucifer
-
We need a GM now and smith is not ready. If you are a good team you will lose talented coaches and FO personnel. Its the nature of the game. Id rather have Cowden (like i said what smith could be in a few yrs) now then let smith learn on the job. If this team is successful under Cowden with smith as his AGM then its a win win. The team is winning and Smith will be a GM else where. Its the way it works in sports. Atleast theyre looking to snipe up and coming talent from other teams vs just the ole boys club retreads.

Been doing some research on Cowden. Seems like he could be a good get. credited as on of the architects of the Panthers team that went to the super bowl in 15 and as one of the major architects in the current Titans FO that has a solid team. He looks to be kyle smith with more experience. Would not be upset with him. Hurney as a senior assistant to help out cowden. Cowden as gm and Smith as AGM working and learning under Cowden would be a fantastic structure.

if wilson drops to say drops out of the top 10 trade up to get him. if not trade back into the 1st for jones. sit them both for a year behind smith/allen/hieneke (pick 2) and go.
-
I dont get it. People on this board are smart know the game and know the team and skill we have. You all must know this team needed a rebuild and start from scratch. Rivera himself said its a year to evaluate (which i read as were gonna suck but see who we have that will be here in the future). Yet every one is shocked and pissed that the team is 1-4. Have patience lets see what the guy can do. If he didnt have control you think snyder would have let him bench Haskins? Let the guy do the job and build the team he wants in his vision.

After they hire me as the 1st Portugy in a high profile NFL position

Also he feels different. As many of said hes a leader of men. A father type of presence. Last person they hired that had that type of pressence was Gibbs.

The timing on the Santos and Mann firing is odd. Why do i have a feeling the other shoe is going to drop
-
He mentioned it during the Larry Michaels interview that building a relationship and finding out the best way a QB learns is paramount to development. Hopefully he learns what method works best for Haskins. But Haskins needs to want to learn or whatever Turner somes up with will be pointless
-
and this is bad because? Norv might have been a not so good HC but hes one of the best OC's in the last 30 yrs. He knows offense. In my job i tell people all the time "I know what i know and i know what i dont know, and when i dont know i ask someone who does". Why would Scot Turner do the same and rely on all the resources he has?
-
This is a huge gamble as OC it equates to hirng bhule or roman as HC. I like it as @HTTRDynasty said its a mix of veteran leadership and young guns.
-
Thats my issue as well and bravo for you saying it.
-
If hes under contract or not doesnt mean he wanted to be here. why would rivera keep someone around that doesnt wanna be here. there are major holes in all your arguments
-
Source? For all you know KOC was offered the job but dragged his feet
