Updated GM Update

[Moo Daeng]

Not sure what trend y'all are looking at but the majority of those listed are people with personnel and scouting backgrounds. Are you just referencing what Breer said? 7 of the 10 profiles from the link are scouting backgrounds. Not sure who the 11 is as they only show 10

Candidate Number 11 took a job in Houston.

[Moo Daeng]

Caserio is the 11th

8 of the 11 interviews are personnel/scouting guys.  You should read the posted links.

I won my fantasy football league a while back.  Where is the hat in which I should toss my name?  (Dragon Fire)

Seriously--I wonder if  interviewing so many candidates is due to the fact that the GM position is going to have limited/different responsibilities here?  I am speculating---

The split...

Experienced Talent Evaluators:

Jeff Ireland
Adam Peters*
Ed Dodds
Joe Schoen*
Monti Ossenfort
Ryan Poles
Jerry Reese
Nick Caserio (out of the running)

*Peters and Schoen have both said that analytics is a part of their process.

Guys with alternate backgrounds:

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah
Champ Kelly
Brandt Tilis
Nick Matteo (interview declined)

Both Ian Rapoport and Albert Breer have credited the non-traditional choices to David Tepper.

Have said before, if I'm looking at making a financial decision, I'd absolutely ask David Tepper. If it's a football decision though, I'd much rather talk to Matt Rhule.

Reminder of what Rhule said he wants (about a minute in)

 

That, I like.

I like the point that a GM doesnt just have to be the guy that picks the players, but rather a CEO style leader, with those people below them. Makes a lot of sense to me.

73% of those interviewed are talent evaluators. There's your trend.

We can hire cap geeks all day to help out. I'm not sure we can have too many talent evaluators. 

And if you have a room full of talent evaluators who give you drastically different evaluations of said talent?  That sounds chaotic.  I'd rather have one or two trusted go-to talent evaluators who are good at their job than a team of them.

You just described scouts, which every team has a room full of. So you think we should just have one or two?

[Mr. Scot]

Sounds like they'll be the last interviews and we're looking at doing the hire afterward.

General Manager Search Update (1/7)

Confirms they've completed interviews with Ed Dodds, Adam Peters Ryan Poles Champ Kelly and Brandt Tillis, on top of the others we already knew.

If there's anyone else on the agenda, it isn't mentioned here and I haven't seen it elsewhere.

 

Do you know if Adam Peters has already interviewed?? If so which day, if possible. I can not find nothing firm.

Look in the article. It's confirmed they interviewed him yesterday.
