GM and Coach Question...

[KillerKat]

So comparing the Fox era and Rivera era, we notice a totally different approach to player personel. Did Hurney just sign, and also retain, the players Fox wanted? With the recent events of this offseason, including the draft and free agency, I can't help but to think that was the case. So the players that are on the team can be credited to the coach, but the contracts are all on Hurney. Correct?

Believe they go by the coaches philosophy and recomendation. When it comes to drafting I think it is more of the scouts. Free agents is more of the Coach. Hurney just let them do there jobs.

Agree with the rodent.

I dunno. I think JR Being down with the heart transplant and his two boys in charge set us back. JR had a plan and that was to let the lame duck live out the last year of his contract, dump the crappy salaries while losing to get a high draft pick. ALL because of the upcoming CBA that was going to be a nightmare.

Several of us kept saying the man is not nearly as dumb as many think, he has a plan and now look! If Scam can be even a decent QB, we have went to the superbowl and damn near won it with a decent QB. If Chud and Rivera can show him Mike Vick and say 'Mike didn't get good till he stayed in the pocket mostly and learned to read defenses and throw the ball' then we will be in good shape.

In Fox's first few years we were very active in free agency. I think that the difference now centers around how much young talent we have now as opposed to then.
