GM Candidate Profiles

[pantherj]

We're headed to 8-8 limbo unless the new GM is a freaking fantastic wizard who makes perfect picks. *Hint* All GMs screw up picks.

[Mr. Scot]

I will say this: Although it sucked having to spend another year with Marty Hurney in charge, we might actually have lucked out and fired him at the right time.

I can't remember the last time I saw a GM candidate pool that looked this good.

[Mr. Scot]

Added a profile of Joe Schoen...

Schoen isn't as highly touted a pick as some of the other options, but he could be a really good "under the radar" choice.

My take on him is that for the folks who wish we would have kept Brandon Beane, Schoen is pretty much the same guy.

[Jon Snow]

Thank you for doing all this work for this bunch @Mr. Scot.  Not that anyonr is going to appreciate it but you've put together quite a bit of information on the guys.  Well done old man.

Eeehh, not looking for a parade.

I do this as much for myself as anything because I like to know stuff. It's just also fun to share it in case other people want to know too.

On the flipside of the equation, Ian Rapoport said he expects that Washington will indeed hire a GM this offseason but doesn't believe that it'll be in house guy Kyle Smith.

Rapoport gave three names he says are "expected to interview" for the job: Former Texans GM Rick Smith, 49ers and former Lions personnel guy Martin Mayhew...

...and yep, Marty Hurney.

I've seen speculation from a number of sources who think Marty has the inside track.

Did not realize Joe Schoen was from my hometown in Elkhart, IN. Good info and another good candidate. A lot of good ones to choose from.

[Jared Patterson]

When will we start seeing some movement? I assume at the end of the season?

Elkhart Indiana? There’s only two things from Elkhart that I know about

There he is again, Marty Hurney. Almost like a bad penny

If Marty has an inside track, it must be due to compromising pics of Ron and a cheerleader...

Can't interview anyone currently employed until the season is over, and even then only virtually if their team is still in the playoffs.

Didn’t Marty start out as a writer for the Washington Post or some Chit?

He did, and Jack Kent Cooke liked him so he brought him on board as a PR guy for the Redskins. Later on, he started working under Bobby Beathard.

For what it's worth, there's also word that Joe Gibbs likes him and supports him becoming GM.
