Until he gives Tepper a reason to be fired, keep him along. I liked his moves this offseason.

I actually do too, but considering we play the Steelers this season, I don't know how wise it is to take advice on how to run our team from them.

Said it in the other thread. Most of us didn't expect him to come in and fire everybody immediately (granted, a few did).

The question will be how he feels after he's had time to work with them directly and see how they perform during the season.

Of the 3 ownership changes this past decade 2 kept their GM a year or 2 before making a change. I believe all 3 coincided with a coaching change but they may have been unrelated coinincidences. I believe it was the Browns where Haslam almost immediately shook thinks up. The Bills and Jags kept current GM a season or two.

If the Steeler way is Hurney love this will be interesting.

I don't mind this.  Hurney did a pretty good job in his first stint at GM as well, until JR had his heart transplant.  Then we stopped signing veteran FAs, started making questionable trades and gave out big contracts in what looked like a "desperate to win now" strategy that led to the abortion of a 2010 season.  

I know we'll never really know for sure, but I think the last three GMs for our franchise were largely Hurney 1.0, Jerry Richardson, and Dave Gettleman.  And as soon as DG had some real success, JR got involved again and fired him.

Mind you, this is just me and my tin-foil hat speculating.  And always use tin, that aluminum crap doesn't block anything.

Hey, if I were competing against the Panthers, I'd give Marty Hurney glowing reviews too.

Realistically though, Marty is a pretty nice guy. The Rooneys likely know him via Richardson, so this is logical.

Seeing how he runs things up close, on the other hand...oy.

It's been discussed elsewhere that you don't have to come in and fire current personnel immediately. You can fill open positions like team president, assistant GM or whatever other title you want to create without firing a single person.

That sort of approach would make the transition easier but still keep "your people" in the right places.

So, we never replaced Danny Morrison, right? Name Omar Kahn as President of Football Operations and have Hurney report to him? Does that leave the question of what happens with Tina Becker?

That's the kind of approach I've been talking about recently (Woodie too).

Lot of people have speculated that Becker will be gone sooner rather than later.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
