FIRE Caldwell please! If it has come to this, he need a to go.

I may be mistaken, but I thought we used some similar type of firm/organization in our search that led us to Gus Bradley? The people saying Gus wasn't Caldwells guy can't have it both ways; Caldwell didn't hire the first guy he interviewed without it somewhat being "his guy."


I'm too lazy to use my Google abilities this morning (and I'm almost out the door for the game), so if anyone could affirm or deny that, that'd be awesome.

He needed to go regardless, and any positive contributions he makes to the roster in 2017 I view as a bonus, because I don't expect many of his former draft picks, free agents, or him for that matter, being around in 2018.

I think this is embarassing to be honest.What a waste of time and money! If they don't know who the good candidates are they shouldn't own a franchise!

 

lol ... You don't run a business, do you?

The football operations side is not equivalent to running a McDonald's franchise.


Shoot me a list of teams that brought in consultants to help hire a coach and you will likely be showing a list of bad teams.

I've not gone to Google either, but from what I can recall from reading about the NFL lo these many years, using a search firm to obtain a list of potential interviews has become fairly standard practice.

 

This is regarding the hiring of the face of your franchise (that cost a billion dollars, more or less) after all.

If I thought you knew what you are talking about I'd make the effort.

 

But since you are talking out your rear, as usual, I won't worry about it.

A simple "you are right" will suffice, but we already know your "side" will go to the grave before admitting a mistake.

Apparently he also orchestrated the Schneuter and Carroll deals up in Seattle, as well as Quinn in Atlanta.

So, in a nutshell......


People are generally happy with Dave Caldwell, but.....


Want Hughes to assist him in hiring the next coach, and Coughlin to assist him in drafting?

---

Is it reading too much into it to suggest Shad doesn't white trust Caldwell to select the new HC?

 

Nope. Not reading too much into it at all in my opinion. I think it's a good sign that he doesn't have a lot of confidence in Caldwell and that he's thinking after 2017 that they'll have to part ways depending on the win / loss column. 

It says this guy will ASSIST in the hiring of a new HC not find one and hire him without Caldwell's approval...Big difference between the two...

Seahawks and Falcons both used this guy

To hire guys who were already hot candidates?

Draft misfires are going to happen way more often than not, and to most teams. The trick is to limit those misfires.


Any help Shad can bring in is appreciated

Great article and I love this extended effort made by our owner shad khan! I really hope it works. Maybe he can help us pick out a projected stud qb in the draft as well! Lol

What's wrong with having as many resources as possible on the same team?

I was thinking the same thing but from what I believe is, this dude is just going to make a recommendation and caldwell will have the final decision...

Oh no... I don't see why anyone here would want Coughlin to assist when it comes to drafting.

Don't look too much into it, the cost to hire this guy is probably less than 250k. That's like us spending 20 dollars, not even a drop in the bucket for Shad.

 

Especially if it leads to hiring the right person.
