I posted last offseason that I thought the Eagles would implode. They were trying very hard to prove me wrong this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely would serve under a team President of some sort. This is what I am interested in. What is the actual structure of the organization going to look like?

They believe they will lose to the Bucs. Also do not believe Jalen Hurts will be the long term answer at quarterback. Really enjoyed watching the Giants beat them yesterday. They say Hurts cannot recognize blitzes so that's why Wink Martindale kept blitzing him. Worst fan base in the NFL, especially for a team that has regular success. I love it. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get the sense that Myers was actually the new GM, rather he seems to be the coordinator (or co-coordinator") of the advisory committee that will eventually bring in a Head of Football Operations and a Head Coach. I ask, because even the Snyder/Rivera front office had Mathew as GM, and Hurney as Executive Vice-President of Football Players/Personnel, with others with given similar sounding titles. Maybe this advisory committee will also be overhauling the franchise's organizational structure -- but it seems to me you need some role like the traditional GM, rather than the multithreaded structure that evolved under Snyder/Rivera. I would assume the Head of Football Ops will be what is considered the GM. I have a nfl coaching thread in the ATN for coaches in general.

In a weird sort of way, at this very moment, Im viewing the Commanders as the more stable of the NFC East franchises moving forward. Yeah I know this could all fall to crap but I truly believe this ownership group is going to do things the right way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 On 1/2/2024 at 3:58 PM, Rufus T Firefly said: Personally, I have long hoped that we would clean house on the FO this week. You could interview a few people who aren't currently employed by teams. Dawn Aponte is someone who could be on the radar. I have always like Thomas Dmitroff, and while I don't necessarily want to give him the job, I'd definitely love him for an assistant GM spot with a first timer GM. Louis Riddick you could talk to just because of local ties and Rooney Rule requirements. Then you inform teams that you want permission come Monday to start interviewing other candidates (the Horitz, Peters, Halaby, etc group). It would give you a bit of a head start. Not a huge one, but something. If we are really hiring GM first and then Coach, and especially if we are interviewing a lot of people for the GM spot, time is actually something of an issue. Getting even a small head start would be a positive. More importantly, what's the reason not to do it? Do we really need to pretend there is something that could happen against Dallas that will effect whether or not these people are retained? Told yal. Mayhew is gonna be held on. for a while.

Not my first choice for our new HC, but good dude hes a good coordinator/positions coach, not sure hes a good HC. The roster he had to work with in TB wasn't great, similar to the commanders current situation, so maybe some grace is in order. If Tomlin were to become available, I'd like to see them take a shot at him. Or perhaps Belichick..though i think he would want more control than he ought to have. ie I'd like to see an established coach with previous sustained success. Really like the front office hirings...they dont need to be football guys, they need to be guys that can create the organizational structure thats necessary for the football guys to succeed and it seems like they know how to create that given the history.

kingdaddy Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I'm a little surprised that we're already pursuing head coaching interviews before having a GM in place? I guess there's a good reason for this but that's not how Harris typically works. Is it possible that Bob and Rick hold coaching interviews without the new GM or is Mayhew gonna have a role in hiring the new head coach? I'm also curious as to how long Myers and Spielman have agreed to work with the organization? 1 year? 2, 3 years? Indefinitely? I get the feeling that if Myers likes working in the NFL that he may stay as long as he wants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Jason really do that? If so, I may have to amend some of my previous posts about him...nothing personal with him, as I understand being under Snyder wasn't going to be good for him anyway...it's just his history of screwing up PR issues was grating...and it's possible that's a duty that Snyder shoved off on him without Wright being prepared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
