I Hope JR is Paying Attention... We Need to Hire a New GM ASAP

A quick blurb on our situation by Albert Breer:

3) The Carolina Packers hired Ron Wolf in November of 1991. The Dolphins hired Bill Parcells in December of 2007, and the reason they did it then, as one person who's been around Parcells put it, was to "give him a chance to assess the damage." In both cases, the new exec was given a chance to evaluate the team as the season was ongoing, which allowed for more clear-headed decisions in January. The Cleveland Browns have set themselves up to allow Joe Banner to do that now. And the Panthers should do the same: Find someone soon and give him a chance to see what he's working with.

Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.

As bad of an era as we're presently in, with no one in-house having any answers and the guy who just got fired just the same, we need someone to come in immediately and take inventory. This way we have a plan of attack to turn this thing around before the season is over. It's vital to both who we keep going forward and who we need to add.

I really hope JR acts soon. Very soon.

Only issue with this is that no one currently on an NFL staff can be approached. Hiring too quickly may lead to hiring another dud.

I've thought about that as well, but there are some solid options available now. I prefer to get a young up and comer from a solid background versus a re-hash like Jerry Angelo though.

Are there any actual rules stating that we can't hire from another team in-season? Can't we ask permission to interview as is the standard during the playoffs? It does seem awkward, but I fear if we wait until the end of the season we may as well prepare for another wasted season next year as well.

At the very least they should have the consultant in here soon.

I do not expect us to have a GM in place before the end of the season when guys who already have a job are available.

The consultant, I would hope, will be allowed to go over the organization from top to bottom and could begin the process of assessing damage then provide information to the GM we hire if that guy is someone we can't possibly hire until he's not employed elsewhere.

It's less ideal but I'm not sure I want to rush the GM hire and settle for someone they don't want for the sake of moving quickly unless there's a superior candidate sitting out there now without a job.

I'll admit I don't know if there is.

They don't really need a GM in here now... that can wait. Would be great however to have the consultant on board well before season end so that person can evaluate the coaches, players and organization and see where JR wants to go so that a decision on a GM and whether or not to retain Rivera and staff and if not, who the new coach and staff will be.

I agree with everyone on the consultant angle. That would definitely work if the consultant is willing to be "all of that" for the time being. It just seems kind of clunky to me to have the consultant as a sort of placeholder and the guy searching for the next GM.

I don't think the idea is for the consultant to be a "placeholder" is it? They've already got that "temp" GM guy... the consultant should do nothing but analyze the organization from top to bottom and make a list of qualified candidates for GM that fit our structure... interview them (if possible) and recommend names to JR.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
