No other GM search had a blow by blow account of where it was up to.

It might not be harmful NOW, but somebody is leaking info to the press. It's only a matter of time until they leak something valuable / damaging. 

How closely were you following any other GM searches though?

It's not unusual for a lot of info to come out about the process after the fact. There's plenty of talk going on about the Lions search right now. And the Falcons search has seen its fair share of info as well.

I don't really see anything that's damaging here though. It's basically just "we disagreed but we worked it out". That sort of thing happens all the time.

the presence of scouting jobs on his résumé is no doubt what made tepper feels this was an excellent compromise, but he hails from an organization that obsesses over data, no doubt a reasoning behind some of the ridiculous 1st round selections they've made, and in a role that is customarily affiliated with the more technical aspects of the job

in light of that and in light of person characterizing this the way he did, it's not a far leap at all to see what teppers likely thought process was

Tepper thought he could appease his coach and still get the breed of guy he wanted from the outset

He hails from an organization that obsesses over data now, but he's been a scout since 1998.

I stopped reading when I saw him and Rhule have the same agent, looks like the only one winning these days is that agent. Gotta stop with this “he reminds me of me”, “I coached with him in college where we didn’t win poo” “we share the same agent” bs. Just make Rhule the damn owner of the team since we’ve seem to have handed him the damn keys to the whole organization. 

So you'd rather the Hedgefund guy make those calls. Got it.

I wonder which candidate's biggest weakness is that they're a perfectionist.

And spent the better part of two decades stagnating in place

when Seattle started to value analytics, yes

In 2004?

Yeah, for real, you have zero info on what kind of analytics changes the Seahawks have made over the last 20 years, and making sh-t up isn't going to help your argument 

I get that you want to stir sh-t up about this, but there's no sh-t to be stirred.

stop, I never insinuated that at a place where he spent 20 years languishing he never received any promotion

what I did point out is that he only became someone teams like the jets started sniffing around when he appeared to provide value as someone understood analytics, and to actually put my comment back on topic as you've intentionally dragged it away for the sake of your argument-this component is what obviously what made him valuable to David tepper

Keep trying, dude. It's at least mildly amusing

Data didn't really become a major thing until the middle of last decade, so that's understandable. It may show that he's adaptive and amenable to change.

I figure Tepper will wind up hiring somebody that'll have the kind of emphasis he wants as well.

But Fitterer isn't that guy.
