Max Henson officially confirms the search is on for a team president, and a few other things...

Kinda wonder what signs they took down

I'm wondering if they painted over Jerry's 5 values?

Speaking of changes....

Listened to a radio interview with Mick Mixon. He mentioned a meeting Tepper had yesterday with social media and broadcast staffers.  Apparently he made some references to concerns that practice in the intense heat can have on player fatigue and conditioning.  Sounds like those indoor practice facilities will be built sooner rather than later and that you can say goodbye to Spartanburg.

That's interesting.

Yeah, he cited studies that have emerged recently.  I seem to recall Tampa changing their training camp practices to early morning due to similar concerns, and Gerry V who was interviewing Mixon said the Saints also had studied the issue and changed training camp.

Aren't most of our training camp practices late afternoon or mostly morning now?

One other name that had been mentioned that i had forgotten...

I think it was Daniel Jeremiah who suggested that Tepper try to finagle Ozzie Newsome to run the transition.

Given that the heavy lifting for the Ravens coming season is already done, it's technically possible, but seems highly unlikely.

Guess I'll go ahead and give the Huddle an exclusive...

It's me. I'm the new team president.

First order of business is pulling in Zaxby's as a sponsor for the concession stands. Second order of business is erasing the current library of musical score for gamedays, save "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Cat Scratch Fever," and replacing it with a heavy dose of death metal and hip hop.

 

You're welcome in advance.

Interesting they might try the Greenbrier then if that is the thinking.

Here's another possibility to think of as Team President, though I'd also call it an unlikely one.

Marty Hurney

There was talk of Marty Hurney taking over a non-personnel role and handing the actual GM duties to someone else before, and such an option is still open,  It allows Marty to stay with the Panthers while also allowing the Panthers to get a real GM in place to build the roster.

To be real though, this is the kind of thing that would probably be more likely as a "next year" option.  Not that you couldn't move Marty now, but this isn't the best time of year to do a GM search.  It's arguably more inconvenient for other teams than it would at a more appropriate time.

So again, possible...but unlikely.

[Mr. Scot]

WFNZ guy (can't say I've heard of him).  Doubt he's got a source on this.  Probably just slinging crap...

I think Tepper wants some fresh ideas.

Me too.

My top candidate is still Omar Khan.  The one question I have with Khan though is whether he would want the job.  If he really wants to be a personnel guy rather than an organizational architect, then this might not be an ideal fit. 

That being the case, it'd probably be better to wait a year and see if the GM option comes open.

Rappaport brought him up in may. We had a thread on him.
