So let's say Ross gets the GM job...

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I don't think any new GM will have that much say in the HC decision.

[tiger7_88]

If the choice is between Ross and Kelly, I choose Ross.

[Nicbsbll2]

I still want Ross but I would be more likely to sour on him if I knew he were to immediately hire Perry Fewell instead of not going after Chip Kelly.

boy mr scot is on a role with these low content, counter hyoptheticals.

"say this thing that you want happens.

convince me this thing you don't want wouldn't happen next?

conversely, maybe the thing you don't want is the right thing?

or maybe the thing you have is the best thing?"

yeah this is a good template for eight threads in a day.

Convince me to believe that was not a sarcastic post?

Conversely, convince me to believe why hypothetical threads isn't beneficial to the huddle community?

;D

This is off topic but does anyone know how old Dave Gettleman is? Ive heard his age is a concern but I cant find his age on the web for the life of me, anyone know?

Bc if you have to choose between Fewell or Kelly, I'd probably go with Kelly. And don't stress over this Kelly topic. Kelly isn't coming to Carolina.

Discussing hypothetical situations should be a normal thing on a message board.

What kind of HC doesn't want to interfere with the personnel department?

The GM and the HC should work very closely together. It should be a symbiotic relationship - the GM is trying to draft players that fit the systems the HC is running after all.

This is why I think Rivera's gone. What GM wants to work with the last guy's HC choice? Especially one that has failed.

agreed.

and if ross's first action is to hire a giants assistant that has been turned down for as many jobs as rivera leading to this one, we've made the wrong hire.

62.

oh....and why in the world would dimitroff hire some guy like mike smith?

So for you getting the head coach hire right is more important than the GM hire.

It's an interesting question. If you had to choose, which of those two hires is more crucial to the immediate and/or long term future of the franchise?
