Perhaps you're right. But I think Tepper is hedging. What he's saying is good in theory, but the fact is is that someone has to have the final say...unless they would come up with a plan that both the GM and the HC would have to agree and if not to abandon discussed player. That would be highly unusual if not highly unrealistic. Someone's going to have to have the last word. In that sense, I'm thinking that the power structure almost has to be dependent upon who becomes the HC. 

Let's say that in Tepper's perfect world that we were able to acquire Payton on the cheap (which I know is not realistic or likely, but this is a hypothetical example), do you actually believe that he wouldn't give Payton that power? And I think the same reasoning applies to Tomlin or Harbaugh. I believe Tepper will look at things on a case-by-case basis. Sure, he has some ideas now, based upon the Rhule error--err, era, but he's ultimately not going to let that hinder him from giving an actual NFL-level coach with a certain body of work more control than he might theorize is correct at this point. 

Do I think that he'll totally neuter Fitterer? No. But I don't think he'll let Scott stand in the way of perceived progress either. 

Tepper's mistake was to let an unproven college coach have too much control, and he knows it on some level, if not many levels.

Also was reported that he wants to go with a young offensive guy because that's where the league is headed.

Pretty sure Payton, Harbaugh and Dan Quinn are all out.

I mean, sure, but I have a hard time believing that he has to have a young guy because ostensibly all these other teams have young guys (which is somewhat of a red herring).
