Keep Fitterer and Morgan

[NAS]

While I want us to clean house and start the rebuild again on the front office side, I want Tepper to keep Fitterer and Morgan and allow them significant input in selecting the next coach, and to have final say over the roster.  

Many will blame Fitt for signing Darnold or picking up the 5th year option, but I strongly believe those were Rhule and Brady decisions and Fitterer just did his best to make it happen.  

From everything I've seen he's good at what he does and should be kept around along with Dan Morgan.

Do we agree on this? 

[Snake]

Yeah the FO needs to stay in place. Rhule imo is a holdover from hurney and needs to go. Tepper screwed up letting Hurney stay.

What does Rhule sucking have anything to do with Hurney. Hurney didn’t hire him. Hurney hasn’t made a decision since the day Rhule was hired. Tepper hired and paid Rhule too much based off recommendations from the NFL people he knew. 
 

   And no one has blasted Hurney more than I have for things he actually did. Did Hurney give Darnold the dumbest 5th year guarantee ever?

There is no issue with the front office right now. I fully expect us to be involved more in FA next year because Morgan was excellent at not only scouting but pro FA scouting which is what this team needs.

BTW Reddick will probably be the next contract extension.

Fitterer and Morgan are actually a pretty solid combination of draft and pro personnel experience.

I'd love to see Morgan bring over Lake Dawson from Buffalo to help with college scouting.

Fitterer could also bring a board his old colleague Scot McCloughan. You'd just have to have some pretty strong assurances that he'd stay sober.

I think the Hurney era stopped with the ridiculous cap expenditures in 2020. I think after that poo he was basically a dead man walking. I think he was the driver of the go for it half, which I think was to try and save himself if they did play well. Instead we wasted $70M on FAs that got us to the same 5 wins and led us to not have a top 3 pick that unfortunately means we dove in for Sam. I don’t blame him at all for Sam but I do blame him for not letting us go full rebuild in 2020.

None of those 2020 decisions were Hurney. Not Teddy, not KK, not Okung, not Weatherly, not Boston, not CMC. If Rhule wanted a GM, they would have hired Andrew Berry. But he wouldn’t interview because he would have had no control. But Rhule(and Tepper) are going to let a GM whose biggest flaw is salary cap management make all the money decisions? Did anything change when Hurney left? Guaranteed way too much to a project QB, over emphasizing the DEF over competent OL. Overpaying Robbie Anderson. 
 

   You also don’t pay the 9M guy to listen to the 1M guy. In any business.

Keep Morgan, Fritterer is overpromoted and we can do better. His perfessionalism isn't worth keeping considering the terrible evaluations he has made. It was a weak hire to fit under Rhule, we could do a lot better and I have zero faith in his player evaluations. Who traded for Sam, signed 2 bad Olinemen and then ignored the oline in the draft? That was his job and he failed horribly.

Yea exactly you have to keep them. It'd be like losing Beane all over again who we should have as our GM right now anyway.

Nope, to top the poo salad here Rhule has final say on picks and roster additions. He has that much power for a nobody new NFL head coach. It really was that poo of a move by Tepper.

Is that how his first name is spelled?   

What a coincidence.  He has the same spelling as your first name.
