Then why is he still here? Why not begin the hiring process on the GM side now?

I have no idea how keeping SF helps any master plan if he is going to just be around for a couple more weeks. This just sounds like pure speculation from a source. I wish it is true but that doesn't make it true unfortunately. 

I can understand why he is still here, even if I don’t like it, that there is no reason to fire Fitt till Black Monday.

Do GMs historically get fired in season? The last one off the top of my head was Marty almost a decade ago.

Dave was fired right before the season started. Some wait until after the draft. It's a mixed bag.

In this case why would they need to wait 4 more weeks? Is his work getting that time left to prove himself? Has Tepper ever really shown enough competency that it's normal for him to do the typical thing? 

If he wasn't fired by now I am very skeptical he will be fired. Maybe he is being held as a backup plan if Tepper can't buy what he wants to in the offseason. That is the best rational I could think of vs just starting the hiring process and getting a head start on other teams.

I’ll keep reiterating it - Tepper had better not retain 1 single person in that front office. Keeping anyone associated with this comedy of errors will show he hasn’t learned a damn thing. 

The entire front office is terrible. Scouting as well.

I seriously don't get it. I can guess the first part but what the hell is he doing between now and Black Monday that would be any different than just firing him now?

Maybe who they want to go after is still a part of a competitive team. Fitterer's job is basically done for this season anyways so he's just sitting around watching his shitty roster waiting for the ax

They can't officially hire them in that situation but they can interview and make a deal to hire them after the playoffs. So why wait?

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
