Business or Family? The Path to a Successfully Ran Organization

[Daddy_Uncle]

After this shocking firing of Gettleman and the rumors about Davis and Olsen, I have to wonder how serious we are about being a successful franchise. 

After many years of Hurney treating players like family and dishing out ridiculous contracts to players that put us in cap hell for years, Gettleman was hired to fix the cap situation. 

He, in my opinion had done a great job of doing that. He looked at it as a business. When you are trying to field a successful team you have to remove personal emotional connections and avoid over paying players based on them. That sets you up for long term failure as we saw in the Hurney era. 

We love TD and Olsen and what they mean to the franchise. Both are Walter Peyton Man of the Year guys and nobody embodies "keep pounding" Like TD. He definitely will have a statue outside of the stadium with Sam Mills. 

At the end of the day, it's a business and you have to go about it that way. There are ways to part ways correctly if the players don't want to understand the business side of things. That seemed to be Gettleman's one down fall in these situations. He was extremely cold blooded about it, even though in my opinion he did the right thing in every situation. 

We can't go back to the Hurney way of doing things. That was the whole point of hiring Gettleman in the first place. His knowledge of the cap and how to manage it. 

Can't wait to find out the details on this firing. I need a press conference from Richardson. He has some explaining to do.
