Mr. Scot

Tepper wanted to go with an analytics guy last time we had a GM search. Matt Rhule convinced him that he needed a roster builder instead. Sounds like Tepper may actually get his wish this time. Sh-t

Another analytics type

Both are cap administrator types, not talent evaluators.

Possible. Breer said he thinks Blank is ready to take a "big swing" with his next hire.

Lotta smoke around Belichick and the Falcons.

No one's fault equals everyone's fault. Or more to the point, everybody in charge means nobody's in charge. Fitterer came in as a consensus builder, which is likely what helped him get the job in the first place because that's how Tepper wanted to operate. But the reality is you can't run a football team by committee. They needed one person with a guiding vision in charge, and Fitterer was trying to please everyone. Top that off by hiring a head coach with basically the same MO and here we are.

Not as many as I'd have expected so far

Klein chimes in... Seems to be a theme

The Commanders have requested to review just about everybody. I'm scheduled for Thursday myself

Timeline info...

You misspelled "bullsh-t".

Yeah, that smells like bullsh-t.

If you're gonna steal somebody from the Chiefs, it should be Mike Borgonzi.

That's Richardson's point. Rhule had full control, but even after Rhule was gone he still had to work with Tepper. Beyond that though, Fitterer was willing to collaborate (read: submit) to the wishes of even assistant coaches like Ben McAdoo. Working for a head coach is basically the job, but if you start listening to everybody, you wind up with no vision of your own. Floyd Reese always said he hated having coaches take part in the scouting process. The ultimate finale here is a pretty good testimony that he was probably right. When everybody is in charge, nobody's in charge.

Vincent Richardson... 100% correct Tepper absolutely needs to back off or nothing will change.

Wonder if this is us (fans will be frustrated if it is)

Yeah. Pretty much an ego handler. Unfortunately, we seem to need one.

They seem to be ready to interview anybody with a pulse.

Don't know. Haven't really looked at her much yet. I tend to favor people who've been at it longer, though.

Aaaaand odd we go...
