I said from day one hiring the coach before the GM was a bad move (it may be working in CLE, they hired Stefanski first, but exceptions do not always make a new rule), and especially with the tools that we had, it almost mandated that we bring in someone familiar with scouting, draft, development, and FA acquisition. We did the very opposite, and have dookie to show for our headline-grabbing hire.

Let's say you were/ are right. Who would you have preferred as GM? Which HC would you have preferred?

I would have to do interviews with people before I made a final decision on who to hire, but I would bring in people with proven resumes. Here would be my candidates. 

GM

John Spytek, VP of Player Personnel for Tampa Bay

Brandt Tilis, VP of Football Operations for Kansas City

Matt Harriss, Director of Football Administration for Arizona


Head Coach

Brian Daboll, Offensive Coordinator for Buffalo

Shane Bowen, Defensive Coordinator for Tennessee

Joe Lombardi, Offensive Coordinator for L.A. Chargers

Byron Leftwich, Offensive Coordinator for Tampa Bay
