Mr. Scot

Snyder put Rivera in charge of choosing the GM. From that point on, it was just a matter of time.

Meanwhile in Atlanta...

They interviewed Ryan Cowden. They chose Marty Hurney. Wow...

Even our beat writers are sarcastic about this...

I do but a lot of it is behind a pay wall now. When you do get to read, Alaina Getzenberg is actually pretty good.

Gotcha. Can't say I've heard of it.

To say Washington fans are entertaining right now would be an understatement...

I figured you had a problem with voice to text / autocorrect or something.

Relevant? Don't know. Interesting? Probably.

He's reportedly the number one candidate. Saw this from one of the Washington beat writers...

Here's the biggest deal to me in all this... They interviewed Ryan Cowden. Ryan Cowden... The guy is a front office rock star with the Titans and loads of people think he's going to make a great GM, plus Rivera should know him from his time here. Heck, I was hoping we'd interview him. But with that said, it's one thing to pass over Ryan Cowden for a guy like Scott Fitterer. Passing on Ryan Cowden to hire Marty Hurney?! Yikes!

I mean, I suppose they could have a chance. They do have some competent front office people like Kyle Smith. Of course, there's speculation that Smith might leave if he gets passed over for the GM job.

Oy... I still remember that first press conference. He sounded like he was gonna be great. I wish that guy would have shown up, because the guy that showed up in his place just wasn't good enough.

Just objectively speaking, "the Jets know something we don't" is probably a statement that should never be spoken.

I'm reminded of the Jets fan that got interviewed on ESPN right after they drafted Ken O'Brien over Dan Marino. His comment was "Obviously the Jets know something we don't".

McDaniels is interviewing for the Eagles job.

Here's a perspective I know you'll love... Brain drain...Yeah, that's it.

The Panthers interview process under Tepper seems like it's interview I candidates until you find one you really like then hire them as soon as possible. Sounds kinda like speed dating.

49ers personnel guy Martin Mayhew got a Rooney Rule interview with us before we made Marty permanent. He got another with Washington last week. If I'm his agent, I probably suggest to him that he decline to interview with teams where Hurney is a candidate.

This sound familiar?

Some defensive coaches love "do it all" quarterbacks because it allows them to concentrate their resources on the defense. It's why Buddy Ryan loved Randall Cunningham. Ryan was one of Rivera's coaching mentors.

He's also the one who's gets to pick who that GM is going to be. Snyder put him in charge of the search process from the start.
