BREAKING: Dave Tepper willing to pay $15 million for Ben Jonson

[toldozer]

He should hire a firm to put together a list. They should give him veto power to nix candidates from the list.  Anyone he doesn't like should be the only people interviewed. Then hire the person he likes the least. 

 

 

But to be fair he'll Hire the wrong firm

I mean it in a sense that we have no idea where we are gonna be by February and it’s gonna be twists and turn city here.

One can only hope Bryce is in the weight room and Fitt is at the Uhaul store

Here we go folks. No one will say so I will. Tepper is meddling again.

I said it.  I am kindof off the johnson train because of his fixation with him.  I dont want dave and nicole making the call.  Hire a gm and/president and let them figure it out.  Dave and nicole are how we ended up with rhule, reich and not stechien which obviously was the wrong choice

If this is true then it’s pretty much a guarantee Ben Johnson is our next HC. LETS just hope he brings stability to the head coaching position finally. 
 

and tbh, contrary to what many might think, i actually believe the idea of getting Bryce to work with is probably attractive to Ben.

I still can't imagine him wanting to be here.

[NAS]

I would prefer Tepper not involved in hiring the head coach. I also don’t want people who only come here for the money

There's zero chance an owner in not involved with a coach being hired.

dude is getting played big time by the agent... Good for Ben Johnson, his agent has done him well

I don’t think this is a crazy take lol. It was widely reported last offseason that a lot of teams had Bryce as QB1. I don’t think an up and down rookie season would change people’s interest in coaching him.

Rational and agree. Owner should be looking big picture And have some detailed set criteria and sign off but he shouldn’t be the only guy making the decision. Need football guys making sure the coach checks all the football boxes.

But if the Ben Johnson fascination is a Tepper dream I don't have much hope for it.

Dude needs to hire a GM first. If not rinse and repeat

To be fair, we do know Scott and Dan were involved in the Reich hiring and Hurney was involved in the Rhule hiring. So at least Tepper isn’t going full on commando and doing it with no help. I’m sure whoever the next GM will be involved or he’ll just hire a head coach in GM in tandem. It doesn’t really matter who gets hired first imo as long as their visions are aligned. 
 

Also, Ik some have been mentioning him using a search firm but I kinda think the league is moving away from that. Albert Breer had an article out earlier this year about how owners are being more involved in their hires and not leaning on firms as much. Somebody can correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think a hiring firm has been used for a HC/GM hire in at least a few years. The only recent one that comes to mind for me is Cleveland when they hired Stefanski. 
 

Edit: Here’s the Breer article:

Search firms may be a thing of the past lol.

Ben Johnson will fail miserably without a good\great GM.  The team is almost void of talent
