JSSkinz Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 5 minutes ago, Skin'emAlive said: That GM decided to give Kitchens the job over Gregg Williams, and traded for known cancers in OBJ and Hunt. All terrible moves that were obviously questionable. Who knows, Dorsey may end up turning things around and I'm sure he looks great on paper when it comes to his resume but when you hire a GM you're picking talent just like you do when you draft players and from what I've seen over 35 years is that sustained success as a GM is very rare, it happens but rarely.

My expectation is they will promote Eric now and wait on the GM until after the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 So far it's been reported..... 1) Rivera was the Skins first choice and visa versa 2) Rivera likes the young talent here 3) Likely FO setup goes Eric Schefter EVP and Kyle Smith GM until the draft is over 4) Rivera is not big on personnel just who he chooses to play game day (his 46) 5) He's currently assembling his coaches 6) He likes a challenge and changing cultures 7) He'll be in Ashburn tomorrow and announcement may come as soon as tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade to the above position to be filled with a competent (and possibly well respected) NFL GM. 3. That GM then comes in and does the first job on his plate -- hire a HC. That didn't happen so,....to me, the true core of the issues/problems with this franchise have not changed. To me it seems that we already decided to promote Schaffer and Smith, making the search for another GM unnecessary. IMO they both earned promotions, and I dont mind a guy like Rivera expressing patience until after the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rivera would be an honest man and if he had a scheduled interview w/Skins he'd come here first. Just a guess. I don't think he leaves tomorrow and is announced as our new HC.

Nah. They're gonna take their time, DePodesta is gaining power over Dorsey according to some and Rivera in less than 12 hours doesn't seem to fit that storyline, their FO changes aren't in place yet.

They needed to talk to Ron 3 weeks ago when I’m guessing Dan started talking to Ron. My belief is that the deal is completely done and tomorrow is perfunctory. Couldn’t announce in season, will announce the day after the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GMs job is to pick the players. The HCs job is to coach the players. It actually makes no sense that one should work for the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a general managers job is to pick the players why do you hire/promote him after you pick the players? Also, historically general manager do much more than just pick the players!

Who could build an entire football operation, and then identify and interview Coach candidates, hiring the one who impressed him the most with his abilities, character and vision for the franchise. And who could work within the organization the way said GM wants to build it. Instead, we have a Coach Dan picked because he's a name and willing to deal with Dan's nonsense. Who had to be a retread, because the way Dan sees things, he went with a coordinator lat time, so this equals "different"and therefore this will work (yes, this is the idiotic level decisions are made at for the Redskins). And now, instead of a FO built by one football pro, we have one built by guys Dan likes and who are willing to kowtow to a retread coach. No, you're right. This is a great way to do things.

My assumption is that the HC could then pick his staff, and the GM would run the scouting. It doesn’t make any difference which comes first. You find the best guy to come first on either role and go with it. And I still say neither should report to each other. They should be equal in authority and report to a higher level exec.

That is really discouraging. Screams that Dan is making personal decisions. Same old sh**.

I'm not asking that we have Patriot's level success but can we at least win one playoff game every five years!!! If that can't be done just give us a professional product while we lose.
