Just speculating... I wouldn't be surprised if Frank or Fitt is fired soon. Very soon.

I'm fine with firing them both. Our personnel moves both in FA and the draft have been net negatives.

Id give them one more year because if you fire them then you have to totally overhaul the scouting dept and I have a feeling that would take time

Then you stand a good chance of losing Adrian Wilson too.

From what I can tell it looks like it needs a total overhaul anyway so might as well get started. It won't be any quicker and easier after another year of bad moves and a deeper hole dug.

At best, Boobie and Hunter were a big waste of money. I thought Hurst would be better. I thought Sanders was somewhat redundant, but I was hopeful. Good thing that the coming cap situation is tenable. We're still going to have to upgrade the positions though. Waste of cap space and roster spots, and perhaps speaks to impatience (which may lead back to Tepper).

And?

I think everyone should be judged on their own merits. I mean, if you have a scout that was pounding the table for a bunch of guys that turned out to be good players, don't throw him out with the rest of the trash.

Can he still play safety? If not why do I care?

Because he's known as a really good personnel guy and likely a future GM in his own right.

My only concern is firing the FO and keeping any part of the coaching staff. Feel like we’ve been alternating now for years and it hasn’t worked out at all.

You really want to give David Tepper the task of rebuilding everything from the ground up?

We can talk about him using a consultant like Kevin Colbert or someone, but if we go that route I'd rather no moves be made until that consultant is on board and has had a chance to look over the organization from top to bottom.

If we think he's the right guy then give him the job. But I'm not gonna hang onto the wrong guys for fear of losing an underling in the process.

We just won our first game and don't know yet how this season is going to end.

I'm not really up for making that kind of decision until we see how this plays out.

If we see improvement by the end of the year, are you still going to be on board with firing everybody?

Yeah it’d have to be someone like that even though the last time we went that route we ended up with gettleman

Now would be the time do it. Right after the trade deadline, not much else to do until the draft, besides whatever the plan is with burns.
