Brandt Tilis hire official - Executive VP of Football Operations

[frankw]

Well it's certainly nice to be hiring front office help from franchises with consistent success. Maybe the Tepper's will actually let him and Dan Morgan do their jobs.

Used to be you could only see info on those folks if you downloaded the media guide.

I’ve always been of the opinion, and said before that not much will change until the scouting department is overhauled. 
The number of draft picks that we’ve missed on is inexcusable.

I know that a few of those scouts are holdovers (Cole spencer, morrow). Not sure how culpable they are/were in the terrible drafting but we couldn’t have been much worse in the last few years.

That's the kind of change you likely won't see till after the draft of it happens.

Where he and Dan start investing cap money will go a long way in turning this team around. This team is in no shape or form of handing franchise money to anyone.  It's way to void of talent to pay $30M contracts in one player.  They need multiple players for that money. Or they can continue the Marty Hurney way and tie up cap in one player hoping they live up to it.

Wonder how things woulda turned out if we hired him for GM instead of Fitt when he interviewed 3 years back..

He'll still get his ring if they win.

Absolutely awful. Just awful.

Spencer and Kirskey are still here. Survived Rhule and Reich leading the college scouting front.  Still a bit of a concern given the results these past few years.  But what do I know ha

Wow check out the head athletic trainer Kevin King. 
 

You’d think he would be head of communications

Competent people from successful organizations? What is this madness?

Weren’t we told no one would want to come here because of Tepper? 
 

The truth seems to be that a job in the NFL is a job in the NFL.

Especially trying to remember people from years' past. 

I think it's kinda cool that they actually list these guys out now.  I find it funky there's only one pro scout under two directors of pro scouting (all of which nebulously may be under Adrian Wilson, or Morgan?)

 

That said it's worth remembering that they just kinda make all these titles up.   Jeff Morrow had a new title every single year, possibly while turning down other jobs, or to reflect new responsibilities, before he went on to be a Senior scout.   Which I 

 

Everybody has a smattering of area scouts, national scouts.  I'm not sure why Carolina doesn't have someone sent to BLESTO or National services.    But anything above that, the titles are just whatever.   I've spent a lot of time staring at staff pages and I couldn't tell you why a "Player Personnel" guy generally outranks a pro or college director, how a guy like Pat Stewart would be a VP but not be under a President, how several different directors seem to have a head up on others.   

Maybe it's just negotiated, but hierarchy's absolutely just made up and nobody's ever really chosen to make such a thing standardized.

Come on guys.  Be better than that.   

You know after civil defense stopped using the long haul microwave network, you have to repurpose those towers.
