Albert Breer's 2013 GM List


Ruff

Recommended Posts

Tom Gamble, San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel: A name on the cusp, Gamble has pro and college scouting background, as well as coaching experience. He interviewed in St. Louis last year; that the Niners have sustained last season's success only helps his cause.

John Idzik, Seattle Seahawks vice president of football administration: Idzik is a sleeper to keep an eye on, because of his versatility. He's a business-side guy who runs the team's cap, but he also does some college scouting for Schneider and has a wealth of experience with franchise rebuilds, going back to Dungy's Bucs.

Marc Ross, New York Giants director of college scouting: A finalist in Chicago last year, Ross is in the running for the Panthers job now. The book on Ross: He's a good communicator and evaluator with, as one Giants official put it, "an executive skill set." One question that came up in my research: Can he win the interview with the owner?

I quoted the ones I find most interesting. I'm a huge fan of Tom Gamble, and I think he could definitely be in the running for Carolina. I like John Idzik, and found it interesting with the "franchise rebuilds" part. And, of course, the fact that Marc Ross' says that he's "in the running" for the job.

I like that list.

(1) Tom Gamble

(2) John Idzik

(3) Marc Ross

Ross seemed like the hot name for a lot of the fans at the moment but I like Gamble and Idzik above him.

Gamble, SF:

Crabtree, Iupati, Anthony Davis, Willis, Bowman, Vernon Davis, Kaepernick, Culliver, Aldon Smith

John Idzik, Seattle:

Earl Thomas, Chancellor, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, Bruce Irvin, Sherman, Carpenter, Browner

Marc Ross, NYG:

Nicks, Cruz, JPP, Prince, Linval Joseph, Kenny Phillips, Marvin Austin, Hosley, David Wilson

If Ross is it, does that not imply Perry Fewell? Who knows though.

I'm fine with Ross too, an up and comer from a winning organization. The ties with NY are there already. JR is close to the Maras'.

Not completely. Keep in perspective that when Dirmitrov came to ATL, he hired a coach outside the Patroits coaching staff and instead went for a Jaguars coach named Mike Smith, seems to work out so far.

I could see Ross doing the same and bring someone unknown in like a Gus Bradley or Winston Moss or break tradition and bring in an offensive guru like Rick Dennison or Tom Clements.

Good stuff, Ruff. In addition to these three, I also would like to see Omar Khan (Steelers) and Tom Telesco (Colts) get consideration. Both have a wealth of experience working with winning organizations. Kevin Abrams (Ass't GM/Giants) and Brian Gaine (Ass't GM/Dolphins) may also be worth a look.

    • Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game
    • I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country. 
    • Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
