The more that comes out. The more it shows how deep the issues are

Who the F is this Drummond guy I’ve never heard of him until an hour ago. 
 

unfortunately, I do know who Jack Easterby is and familiar with the Rasputin like hold he has on evangelical McNair family. Big yikes. 

[Tbe]

You know him. He was the guy standing behind Ron in almost every on-field press conference.

It was him, Marty, and Tep who went to Rhule’s house to hire him.

He was with Luke when Luke made that retirement video.

He’s been around for a long time. Players seem to love him but his accedence past PR guy is a little concerning.

I dont know why this is weird... plenty of teams have exective advisors. I think the fact that the article is comparing Drummond to Easterby automatically gives it negative context, but what about:

1. Tom Coughlin
2. Bruce Allen

3. Stephen Jones

4. Sashi Brown

5. Mike Brown

 

Those are just off the top of my head. All serve roles as advisors to the owner of the respective franchise. This is not out of the ordinary.

[Jon Snow]

He needs to go as well. An advisor is useless if he is not a SME with a proven track record.  This guy has to go.

Ahh the front office Hurney built. So there is more. Go ahead and fire the cap guy also. 

We need new people and a huge shakeup in the front office side.

Drummond is the guy you used to always see chaperoning Cam between interviews and would stand off to the side during the pressers and cue him/them on what was appropriate and when the presser was over and such.  I always saw him but didn't know who he was until last season.  He hasn't been nearly as visible over the last year or so, but that's apparently tly because he went from a communications guy to football ops.  Not good.

Agree a guy who doesn’t know crap ab football besides being a fan and really no formal training in sports administration and talent evaluation …don’t need a guy like that making personnel decisions

So who made the personnel decisions Rhule or Drummond? This is all getting too confusing.

He doesn’t make player personnel decisions. He’s basically Tepper’s right hand guy. 
 

His full title is:  Senior Advisor to the Chairman and Vice President of External Football Operations.

He's a former communications guy who Tepper elevated to Vice President of Football Operations.

He's also one of the three people responsible for hiring Matt Rhule (Marty Hurney and David Tepper being the other two).

I don't know that the Jack Easterby comparisons are fair. Drummond doesn't seem to be that kind of personality.

Now with that said, if Tepper is looking for advice on anything football related, Drummond isn't really qualified to give it.
