Yep Coughlin was supposed to be that guy but unfortunately that blew up for reasons that don't need to be re-hashed. I still think Coughlin could have been a good fit but he needed to be more removed from the players. We don't need a person in that role who still wants to be a coach or wants to be GM. That role is to oversee the entirety of the football operations and provide guidance to the head coach and GM. Heard Dempsey the other day talk about renting out Tony Dungy for a couple months to effectively perform that role in order to guide Khan's decision for the next coach and GM. But ideally you could get a guy like Dungy to fill that role fulltime. Obviously he probably wouldnt do that but try to find someone like him who would be interested. Shad and his son aren't football people. We desperately need a Lamping counterpart to run the football side. A leader to guide the coach and GM and set the tone for how the football operations will be run.

I have zero faith Shad will make the right decision of GM or coach. Pretty confident no one else around here does either.
