Florio says we're "leaning" towards Dave Gettleman

[The Special One]

Gettleman's resume is extremely impressive. I'd be cool with this guy.

Maybe, but from what I've seen I'd take Rivera over Ryan all day every day.

As would I. I was just posting the reasoning behind the Gettleman leads rumor. Which is probably directly related to Ross wanting his own guy. Unless we get shocked and rivera is fired.

[ickmule]

Why?

You don't think Ron has a tat of his naked wife in a Clausen jersey doing the superman?

Well.... Since you mention that!

It is that. If I remember correctly he has a background with RR. No? If that is the case he may actually know enough about Ron to know that he is a great coach and believe that he can build a winner with him as coach. I don't for a minute believe JR would go one way or the other for some of the stupid reasons I've seen posted here over the last few days. The man is not stupid and he did hire Accosi for a reason. I believe he is honestly trying to make this all work to build a winner.

[Marguide]

so now we're complaining about the age of potential candidates...good grief!

Most of it is just trying to maintain a sense of humor through this crazy time.

His age shouldn't matter if he's the best man for the job.

After reading the posts in this thread, there is only one conclusion that an intelligent person could make

John Kilgo is right.....mist posters on her ARE idiots.

Hey if all huddlers are idiots that includes you as well.

I wasn't aware you were gods gift to internet forums. Get over yourself man.

[Montsta]

Surprised that JR wants to build through the draft instead of via free agency, yet would want the vp of pro personnel over the director of college scouting.

Impressive, indeed.

as long as he brings in a top notch scouting staff i think he's qualified enough, and i care about that far more than age

[killacam]

Thought it was interesting when I was reading over on a Giants forum some are more worried to lose Gettleman. Lots of people saying he is the cap manager too.

[CardiacCats]

Wouldn't be a surprise as Gettleman seems to be a cap expert and that's a big issue for us right now
