Jimmy Raye

[Mr. Scot]

Cut loose by the Texans amid regime change under new GM Brian Gaine...

Has a long work history with Ron Rivera. Has even worked with Marty Hurney before...

Would love to see him brought aboard in a front office position, including and up to Assistant GM...

His knowledge and experience would help make our front office better.

I am worried about who is running the operation--sure looks like Marty and Ronnie--frankly, that is scary.

On the football side, yeah.

I thought it was interesting to hear that Tina Becker wanted to fire the team's current legal counsel but was advised against doing that until after the sale was complete.

Far as I know, Richard Thigpen has been the teams counsel since it started. His involvement in Richardson's unreported non-disclosure agreements has probably doomrd him from continuing.

Technically yes - Richard Thigpen. But that's two different guys. And yeah, he's done.

More seriously, why would anyone want JR3 as, for Christ's sake, an assistant GM? He's experienced (as is anyone who has been doing the same thing for a hundred years with limited results) and more or less a glue guy administratively, but, really, does he actually bring us closer to a Super Bowl?

Are you Mister? You think like Mister.

Seriously, my feet hurt.

Can I get a foot rub?

Wasn't Raye one of the candidates from the sham of a GM search they conducted?

[top dawg]

Good thought. It makes a lot of sense.

If that is scary than what was Gettleman

Yeah, he was. They went further with Lake Dawson, but everybody knew how that story was gonna end.

Jimmy Raye was either a threat to the new GM or was over rated. In either case untill the new owner is determined why bring someone else on who could get axed when our regime changes.  

[Paa Langfart]

Why would we bring the guy you wanted for GM in now when the sale of the team is imminent and new ownership may be announced any day?  What would be the point ?  Let the damn process go to completion and let the new owner decide who he wants to run the team.  I swear you have OCD on this thing scot.  Hurney , Rivera,  and Tina are obstensibly  running the show until JR signs away his holdings.

Because post-draft is the season for these kinds of changes.

Three different teams have already overhauled their scouting and front office staffs.  Those guys will all be looking to latch on somewhere new, including Raye.

Won't say that good folks don't get fired in these shakeups because they do. Still if he was that great then why was he fired?
