Jim Harbaugh gonna have a bunch of picks...😄

Man I hope so, if not we will have 2-3 bridge coaches trying to get experience. Everyone wants a young OC, cause they think that is a winning model, it is not. If Payton is out, Harbaugh, Tomlin, or Zimmer is our only shot at being a legitimate team in the next 3 years. Teams like the LA Rams, SF 49ers are mortgaging the future for now, they will suck in 2 years or less. Sustained success will require the right coach and the right decisions.

How did we even get this guy? I've been so disheartened with the Rhule & Co. shitshow that I stopped following the team closely. Literally haven't heard of the guy before today.

lmao same.  I used to follow FA and the draft blow by blow but fivehead Jay-Z has beaten that out of me

Tepper has stated we're not getting another "full control" head coach. He wants an equal head coach / GM balance.

I doubt any of those guys take this job without full control or something close to it.

Yep whether it’s him or someone else (my hope is Harbaugh) we are clearly positioning to entice a top HC candidate to want to come here. I have a feeling Burns will get moved too for a couple firsts and maybe some more. We better stay in position for 1st overall too, that’s a big selling point of the job.

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.
