The scouts likely stay on through the draft like most other organizations. But Samir, Dan Morgan, Wilson - they gotta go, especially Suleiman. 

What's so bad about Suleiman. To my knowledge, he has us in a pretty good position. 

[Mr. Scot]

One possible clue in the other direction...

Darin Gantt's latest "Ask the Old Guy" article mentions the take that the defense and special teams part of the roster looks fine as opposed to the offense.

This is the take previously that, along with some of what Dianna Russini said, made me think Tepper could use this as a reason to keep Scott Fitterer around.

Personnel evaluation aside, I don't think you can do that because of what happened with Reich.

But Tepper might not agree...

I don't mind Suleiman. I'd also like to keep Adrian Wilson around.

If Tepper keeps Fitterer than he might as well just hire one of the current coaches to be the new HC and keep everything else the same.  If he not replacing the GM and not hiring someone to oversee everything than there is no point of making any more changes. It will fail and a year from now we are talking about another new HC and another losing season.

I think Suleiman stays. He's done a good job with the cap.

Might even get the GM job. Not pushing that as my suggestion just that it's possible 

[top dawg]

Fitterer has really fuged up. I can't even defend him anymore. He had his shot, and he just fuged it up.

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. 

Only thing I can think of is Tepper wants to spread the firings out so it doesn't worsen his optics. He is really delusional enough to think that because he's rich he's smarter than the average working class fan. Just fire another one of the guys you hired because it was a dumb decision, move on and try again. I don't even trust him to hire the right consultant to make decisions for him lol

Who knows. Tepper hasn't done anything close to that kind of approach. At best he gave SF until the end of the year to prove it with the other dagger weilders but even that is more strategy than he usually uses. It's I'm the smartest, repeat what he was sold and then go off with anger on not making it happen over and over again.

60 mill in dead money...and we have no one on either side of the ball that hes paid yet... so...we'll see.

Yeah, our cap space for 2024 is about the only positive right now.

No, not @Mr. Scot that bum, but it sounds like Fitterer will be on his way out. I think it’s gonna be a hard reset with everyone in the building and it’s needed.

Fwiw, nowhere in that did he say he heard Fitterer would be gone.  He just expects it, as do most of us.

“It’s going to be both there” said one personnel executive…who knows many individuals involved in that decision.”
The exec was literally talking to Jason…

Fitt should be gonna along with the whole scouting no dept. There’s posters on the huddle that could draft better than they do 

[Khyber53]

Remember when people laughed at the idea that Hurney was a better GM than Fitt?

Not nearly as funny anymore. 

Hasn't been funny for years.
