I have been preaching here for a while that in regards to so damn many GM interviews that Tepper was learning more and more about how other teams do things. In other industries this is called Business Intelligence and is expensive as hell to invest it. 

Now Rhule says this... 

 

For a couple of guys this new to the NFL game to take the time and really dig in and see how other teams do things I think is brilliant. They both took a huge trip farther up the learning curve.

Interviewing employees of your competitor is a long standing practice and an invaluable tool for collecting intelligence.  You do it whenever you can, subject to certain ethical considerations, such as...

Do you actually have an opening you are trying to fill?

Interview separated employees only or those still employed?

Do you induce the disclosure of protected information through the possibility of a job offer?

Your moral compass will determine how you answer the above questions but be careful, if you are too aggressive, you can step over the line into questionable legality.

I would think that everyone of those conversations also talked about QB at some point.  Not just what we should do but also trying to gain insight into what other teams might be doing.  Not that the other candidates are going to give away confidential information but any information is a plus.

Is this like some new phenomenon that Tepper and Rhule just figured out?  Seems pretty obvious to me...

It's not like you can just interview GM candidates every month. You actually need a position to fill and if you do it in bad faith you will make enemies fast and shoot yourself in the foot

I hate to tell ya, but if you're not pushing the legal boundaries you're going to be losing to the people who do.

True but do bullet point three the wrong way and you could be facing very expensive litigation.   Even if you win, it could be costly in dollars to defend and business reputation.  YMMV.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.

      zero percent suprised Luke is a nice guy irl, have never heard anything differently from anyone that's met him.  I have heard mixed reports on Smitty I know one guy on here got to know Deangelo Williams and J stew pretty well back in the day when they used to host events and he said they were nice iirc  I can't imagine Jordan gross is a bad hang, he's hilarious
