I'd love to know what happened with Peters.

100% if your employer cannot take a joke then its not the work environment you want to get into. 

 

I did this to at my last job interview. I HATE typical interview questions - yet I do get their importance. They asked the typical "what is your biggest weakness?" question. I responded, rolling my eyes and said "I work too hard, care too much and sometimes can be too invested in my job" Took a second for them to realized I was joking but basically from that point on I knew I nailed it

Don't do many interviews, but the ones I do take part in have me asking a LOT more questions than the interviewer.

They are gonna have to sell me, not the other way around.

Any update on a fitterer press conference?

There's been speculation that Peters was the brains behind many of Lynch's best moves and Lynch did whatever he could to keep Peters in the building. Peters reportedly loves working for the 49ers and loves living in San Fran. Things got close to Peters being hired in Carolina so Lynch gave Peters some incentives to stay put (probably a raise and some other stuff Peters wanted).

Also have to say for Tepper to talk about not wanting "redundancy of skill set" only to wind up hiring a guy whose primary traits were evaluation based tells me he must have impressed the hell out of them.

 

Did Tepper make that comment before or after the internal interviews? Because it makes me wonder if there are any skill set the organization thinks they do not have. Also which these are.

 

edit:

guess I missed this part

cap/analytics candidates

But I thought this kind of person was already hired last off season.

At the start of the process.

Yeah, we have a cap guy, but Tepper apparently thought that having an analytics guy in the GM chair would be better because we already had somebody who could do talent evaluation in Matt Rhule.

Rhule felt differently.

And thankfully, he won that debate.

When is the press release/conference, for this guy?

From what we've heard, Friday.

Starting to think our GM search made an impression on the Eagles.

They're up to nine candidates for their head coaching job, the latest being Saints DC Dennis Allen.

Good point. I could only hope that dynamic takes shape. I've always felt a coach should have more say on the roster. It only makes sense. John Fox and Ron never had that opportunity. Ron has that power now though.

If trash talking Teppers football management gets you a job I should be team president.

No, seriously. A lot of flailing on the football side since his tenure. A lot of PR gafs and mistakes. Didn't handle the Cam situation with any grace at all. Will Grier could have gotten us the same record for much less cash and a lot less hubub.

I could go on.

Yeah, I’ve always thought it was kind of weird how some GM’s had that absolute power.  Like, coaches are the ones on the field having to deal with these guys week in and week out on game day.  Unfortunately, Ron isn’t very good at picking the best players to play.  I’m expecting consistent Jeff Fisher 7-9 territory for the Football Team for the next few years
