He has college scouts giving him info. Then works with the coaches (usually) to make the best decisions for the team.

I don't think he ever says "hey guy who's been watching the free agents and waiver wire, who you like from Clemson this year?" lol
I certainly wouldn't put the bad drafting of the mid 2000s Skins on Louis. Considering the chain of command was Snyder, and then an asst GM and then some other guys and then Louis Riddick
Same for the Iggles it was Heckert and Roseman as GMs and then somewhere down the line comes the director of pro personnel.

Fact is... within two orgs. Riddick worked from scout to director of pro personnel within a few years. He's a former player and his time on TV has allowed him to get an eagle eye view of the league, the changes and trends. He's smart and well respected.

Not sure why you have such a problem with his name being floated. Unless you're just stuck on whatever name you plucked from some underling position in some currently successful franchise.
Just remember, we plucked Caldwell from a very successful (at the time) Atlanta team. How'd that work out for us?
