Rams43
I think the answer is quite clear. Fisher has been fired. Carroll is going to the playoffs. Again...
The answer to what? (?)You seem to be responding to a post that no one wrote.
My post simply said that it is impossible for Fisher to over-rule any Snead decisions because Snead didn't make decisions. That;s just how the front office was structured.
I compared the
front-office structure of the Rams to Seattle. That's it. That's all I said. And in fact in terms of that, the Rams will have the same structure with the next coach.
AND in spite of the current post-loss blues doing a lot of the talking around here, the Rams drafted pretty well from 2012-15 (can't say about 2016 yet). That's if you have a realistic look at what percentage of players teams tend to hit on. For BAD drafting see 2000-2008. For okay drafting see 2009-11. What follows is pretty good drafting. Comparing them to other teams and their percentages bears this out.

You then seemed to read something into all that that wasn't there.

So, we're hairsplitting over whether Snead's top recommendations were Snead "decisions" or not, zn?
Ummmmm... okay...
Okay. So in the course of discussion you clarify "decisions" to mean "recommendations." That's fair. Just clarifying.
Except to add this...there are really no Snead "recommendations" either. It wasn't like that. That's not how the system worked. They would build a ranked board based on discussion. That's with everyone's input. There was never this system where the GM goes "I recommend player x" and the coach shoots it down. Snead had input and more than like Fisher listened to it (same with Carrol and Schneider, same kind of process).
It's really hard to determine which guy gets credit or the opposite when you have discussions that end in consensus and a ranked board with multiple input.
If this sounds picky, remember---it's more than likely that they will have the same structure with the next coach.
I personally don't think there's anything wrong with the structure, myself. Plus I think Snead fits it. I don't think he's the "I'm in charge and we're doing it this way," Polian style GM type.
