GM's that are good are as hard to find as top QB's

December 26, 2016 08:46AM
If you have one that is better than average you keep him and let him improve, if possible of course. This is IMO a more important decision than the HC hire. GM is the second most important guy on the payroll after the QB. At least that's how I see it.

If they fire Snead then hire a guy who isn't good it will be a 5 - 6 year setback for the team by the time the new hire loses his job and a new guy comes in and fixes it. Look at the last three guys in charge.........Fisher/Snead, Devaney, Zygmunt. Three guys, 16 seasons,

Fisher has had final say on player selection, and we know that is true. Snead has made the call on street free agents, but the draft has been Fisher for the most part. We've heard that he didn't want to do the Goff deal, but not from ANY credible sources, just talking heads who don't know any more than anyone else. Maybe Fisher picked guys that Snead wanted, we don't know.

I wouldn't want to take a chance as a fan. As the owner I'm guessing Kroenke and Demoff or at least Demoff know the real deal and they will NEVER say anything to anyone.

If I were Kroenke I'd roll with Snead, I'd keep Demoff away from the coaching search and hire someone to do it like the Jaguars did, check this article out:

However, the Jaguars have hired Jed Hughes of Korn Ferry International to help spearhead their search after meeting with him Wednesday, which could expand their list of candidates, the sources told ESPN.

The New York Jets once used Hughes to help hire general manager John Idzik, and the Houston Texans used him to help hire Bill O'Brien. He also helped the Michigan Wolverines land Jim Harbaugh.

  Snead's occasional "hits" don't make up for his many misses

  I think Snead is a hack...

max557December 26, 2016 12:08PM

  But there is no way to know any of that

LesBaker292December 26, 2016 12:29PM

  There is plenty of blame to go around...

  No I mean with player selection

LesBaker352December 26, 2016 09:28AM

  Then you're making a distinction without a difference

9er8er341December 27, 2016 01:04PM

  Absolutely...and they should go further...

  How many first and second round picks did Snead have ?

IowaRam393December 26, 2016 08:05AM

  I am certainly not going to say he's been stellar

Blue and Gold399December 26, 2016 08:59AM

  Come what may, we'll never know...

Suh-weet!327December 26, 2016 08:53AM

  Possibly, but don`t be so sure about that...
