The Unofficial GM/HC candidate list

[Mr. Scot]

It's kinda hard to say where we are.

Albert Breer reportedly believes both Reich and Fitterer get fired together or (more likely, in his opinion) get another year.

Dianna Russini has been talking almost exclusively about the coaching staff being in danger. She talks about leadership using collective terms, as if Tepper and the front office are functioning as one, and judging Reich harshly.

Kate and Person both seem to be in "anything can happen" mode. They seem more open to the idea of a "clean sweep" than Russini appears at the moment.

Predicting Tepper is a tricky business, I guess.

My ideal candidates...

GM: someone Tepper leaves the fug alone

HC: someone else that Tepper leaves the fug alone

As long as Tepper insists on heavy involvement and micromanagement we're doomed.

This. Tepper likes “yes” men and people like Tepper never change. This franchise is screwed until he’s gone.

its better long term for this franchise to ride it back one more year with everybody so we can do an absolute clean break in 2025.  Forcing a gm or coach to roll with young as qb is going to turn off a lot of folks for both positions. 

Okay then you have Fitterer doing the acquiring and divesting for another Year. 

 

[Ricky Prickles]

They are both getting another year. You can sort of feel it already unfortunately

Bumping this thread

yeah I believe Kansas City Chiefs assistant GM Mike Borgonzi has a really good eye for evaluating talent & that's  also what the Kansas City Chiefs thought whenever they first  hired him 10 years ago as their College Scouting Administrator.

[jopie87]

Bobby Slowick is who I think ends up with the HC job.

As for GM, my guess is staying in house and going Morgan.

A dark horse candidate may be Brian Schottenheimer, OC of the Cowboys.... Dan Quinn is getting a lot interest but Schottenheimer has been putting together a solid offense. He would be be one of the "older" candidates out there but has tons of experience. Plus, how cool would it be for him to follow in his dad's footsteps?

This is who I think will be the lead candidate if Scott is fired, Mike actually interviewed twice with Carolina so they liked him during the post Marty process.

We interviewed him last GM cycle.  He may already know he wants to stay away from Tepper.

Ah didn't see you mention it already -- but yep.  I wonder if Tepper thought just didn't pair well with Rhule, he backed out, or we just liked Fitt over him.

Prior interview experience probably crosses Ed Dodds off the list too.

Makes you wonder, if Tepp just fired Rivera and Hurney at the same time, wonder what type of coach could've been had.  They could've hired someone like Borgonzi first and found a dude to pair with him.  Oh to rewrite history...
