Will Scott Fitterer get to pick the HC or will David Tepper pull a Jerry Jones

Also, if I remember correctly JR had the same feelings on consultants for 20 years and then changed his tune because he was surrounded by idiots. Hopefully Tepper catches on to the fact he’s not qualified and is here because he’s rich. And yes that will probably prove to be a challenge for him.

And if I remember correctly, wasn't the result of that consultation....Dave Gettleman?  Yes, we had our most successful group of years winning when he was here (still no consecutive winning seasons but 3 playoff seasons in a row, one at 7-8-1 in 2014 and a Super Bowl appearance following the 2015 season), but how much of that was really on him?  Hindsight being 20/20, his drafting and roster management left a lot to be desired.  Can you say Josh Norman fiasco?  And then the subsequent 3 cornerbacks drafted in a panic?

Then, JR fired him just before the 2017 season and rehired the same idiot he had fired previously.   

Yeah, good times.

Every owner in the NFL has a major Part of the Getting a head coach any and everytime.  The GM should handle the search for the head coach with the type of coach in mind that both him and the owner have agreed Upon

Do people think good GM candidates are gonna be attracted to a team whose owner fired the last guy even though he didn't have power over the roster?

Tepper gives an unqualified college coach full roster control over a seasoned NFL personnel guy, then fires the personnel guy despite forcing him to work under the unqualified college coach, and we're expecting other people to want to work for this owner?

Tepper didn't force Fitt to take the job. He knew he was going to have to be a yes man to be here.  I would prefer a gm that's not a yes man.

The number of franchises that allow where the ownership isn't a critical cog in the hiring of a HC is 31.. And the for #32, the Packers have a leadership group above the GM.

Tepper’s ego made him wait to fire Rhule until he saw a stadium yesterday with 90% opposing fans. 
 

His ego will make him think he’s learned from his mistake and now knows what an NFL coach looks like.

It's absolutely the question.

[Mr. Scot]

FYI: Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport said on NFL Network that at this point there's no indication Scott Fitterer is in any danger of being fired.

Pelissero added an "anything's possible" sort of caveat, but said he doesn't see it happening.
