"Great Evaluator of talent"

[jtm]

I'm just ready for Tepper to make a splash and do something innovative and if not innovative, go throw a ridiculous amount of money at someone that is a genius talent evaluator.

Like Kevin Colbert?

There was a lot of speculation around him last year but it never panned out.

I'd like to see Dan Morgan as head of pro personnel or even as GM if we are going to go to a two GM model where one guy/gal does the cap and the other player personnel.

When he answered interview questions about what it would take to get him to jump to the NFL, Rhule cited a setup like what Bill Belichick has. Belichick doesn't have the title or the daily duties of a GM, but the Patriots approach is very clearly "coach centric". Person's recent article jibed with that.

I won't be surprised if we have a similar setup in the near future, maybe even next year.

Rhule sure as hell doesn't have enough experience or success at the pro level to justify that, but he'll likely get it anyway if Tepper has enough faith in him. 

(the length of Rhule's contract and the size of his paychecks would lend to the idea that he does)

I guess you just gotta hope that he's really that damn good.

His contract, and the fact that he had other job options, probably means that is the case, but I'm sure Rhule still has final say.  

Really all owners have final say, when you are the one writing the checks you have that right.  Some owners just flex that ability more than others.

The problem with coaches, who also GM, is that you lose some of your checks and balances.  Coaches tend to think short term, GMs need to think long term.  Belichick actually did a really good job of doing both.  As a coach its easy to get into a win now mentality.  Look at some of the moves the Texans did under O'Brian.

I still think the Teddy Bridgewater signing was a win now move that was probably pushed by the coaches.  Pure speculation on my part, but just seems that way on paper.

So far, the only Jerry Jones-ish thing I can think of that Tepper has done is suggest to Ron Rivera that he try going 3-4 on defense.

(that was a disaster).
