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

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

The problem with consultants has long been that they tend to favor people theyre networked with.

The problem with not having a consultant though is that it leaves us beholden to the "wisdom" of David Tepper 😕

He has actually had an ex-GM routinely helping him for about 2 years now.  He even paid him on contract for a time being.  It's not the name you'd like to hear though.

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?

Define "improvement". I mean, ending up with 5 wins would still mean a significant improvement down the stretch but yeah, I'd probably still say that this front office needs to go.

They made moves thinking they had positioned this roster much better off than reality has proven. We're pretty strapped on draft capital in the short term and are going to have to lean heavily on FA to compensate. These guys' two biggest FA signings this off-season were massive busts and have already lost their starting roles not even halfway through the season.

I've read his resumé... Morgan's too. Hell, the profiles written up by various sources when both of them got here will tell you that.

If you look up articles about them you'll see the same thing, especially ones discussing the division of labor between Scott Fitterer and Trent Kirchner in Seattle.

Seems selective to excuse him from a bunch of the shitshow mess that has gone down here.  I mean he is our GM and now being tagged somehow as just a draft guy. 

But let’s say it’s all true.  All the more reason to part with the guy then.  We need a real GM.  Who can do more than just poorly handle the draft primarily.   Because our drafts under Fitt have sucked and he brings little else to the table then.

I'm not looking at win totals, though that would be nice too.

Mainly just interested in how the team looks.

Well, when the brass and telling everyone that will listen how were ready to compete and win the division then you probably end up last in the division I'm left thinking that maybe these people don't know what they're doing.

The best sides hit big in the middle of the draft. I’d move on from Fitt in the off-season but keep Reich for Bryce’s development 

Except any legit GM is going to want to pick his own coach. We have done this staggered changes before and they never work.

And changing systems ruin young QBs I’d rather get a GM that had a track record or part of a system that has had success drafting players that fit Reich’s system.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
