I'm talking about prior organizational success dictating future success of people attached to the said organization, that was the point, apparently it went right over your head.

Apparently my point about comparing apples to oranges went right over your head, just like the idea that simply being contrarian doesn't exactly make you smarter did

this would be the typical move for this organization.status quo. this team would still be bad, under coached and will be picking in the top 10 forever.

Really the point that I'm getting at is that when it comes to personnel managers, you generally don't want to promote from within unless you already have a well-working system in place. Dimitroff worked with the Patriots prior to being hired by Atlanta, Marc Ross worked with the Eagles before being hired by New York. Pioli had a background with Parcells in the 90s before being brought in by New England. So there's three examples that actually are personnel managers. Maybe people would take you more seriously if you stayed on subject and weren't busy snake-oil selling and going "HURR HUURRRR WHO KNEW COACH K!!! I AM AN GENIUS"

I said the same as soon as Hurney was fired.

I'm not opposed to him getting a shot, he's worked his way through the ranks and just because he worked for Hurney doesn't mean he'll do things the same way.

How do any of you here know whether he would be a good choice or not?!? Leave it to the guys whos job it is to decide these things.....christ. You never know, Beane may lead us to the promised land.

Worked so far!

But yeah I have no idea who Beane is or how good he is.

Fans would sell their PSLs in droves

I could only hope....

If this happens rivera better have complete control over personel. From hot seat to promotion doesnt make sense. HOWEVER, on the list of things i trust about rivera, talent evaluation is number 1. Game management however is dead last

Being contrarian entertains me, with that said the idea wasn't to make myself seem smart or witty, (heaven forbid the day I bases any of my self worth on message board) I'm trying to change the course of the conversation on this board. and get people to think outside the box, my actual thoughts on the matter and what I argue sometimes are two different things.

It's like my Rivera topic about a month back, everyone thought then I was crazy for bringing it up, but now people are starting to look at it as if it could be a reality. I got people thinking which is more then many can say. and I only started that out of the fact I was tired of seeing the "Fire Rivera now!!!!!" post for the millionth time that week.

[rayzor]

does he have an accorsi connection?

what's this guy's credentials?

what has he done?

this organization is in need of a shake up so what do we do? promote from within. best way to maintain the status quo, imo, and it makes the whole hiring of accorsi a sham.

it's a horrible idea on so many levels.

i just hope this is just another case of yas talking out of his ass.

or not... that whole 4 win season thing since 95 should say otherwise..

[Roger Dorn]

Makes no sense at all.

We would not have hired Acorsi just to make a dumb move like that.

This is the panthers were talking about

[BigSyke]

who is dis man?

[Sword]

This would be the non-exciting hire he talked about last week.

[AggieLean.]

My level of fan commitment will be almost gone if this is true.

I feel the same way, man. I'm preparing myself for this scenario, because this really does feel like something the panthers would do.

if only what you argued wasn't poorly constructed

nobody got thinking because you posted about keeping rivera. the only reason people are talking is because we're in the midst of our annual late period sweeps campaign under no pressure to make the playoffs so as much people as possible keep their jobs and restore fan confidence part of the season. Same old poo, different year.
