Heard him say Fish and Snead have not got along for the past 3 years. Different personalities and viewpoints. Makes you wonder how many personnel moves they disagreed on. And did they both agree on Goff. Ian also said evaluators still like Goff, they see the arm talent and intangibles. He needs good coaching. Rams did him no favors.
Personally, I still see serious problems with how this organization is run. Kroenke hides behind Demoff when things are difficult, and they have a GM who isn't really a GM. Honestly, I'm not sure what Snead is. I mean, he's a personnel guy, but he's not a guy you can put up in front of the media who can speak with authority. That's not a GENERAL MANAGER when you think about the title.
Apparently the Rams braintrust is the dynamic duo of Kroenke and Demoff. These guys are great with business decisions like relocation, building a stadium, and engaging a community but I have serious doubts that they have any idea on how to hire good football people and setup a good football organization. Of all their shortcomings the biggest failing of Kroenke and Demoff was their inability to recognize the fatal flaw of a Fisher offense. This flaw was obvious to the veriest tyro, yet shockingly was oblivious to those two apparently intelligent men for years.
And now these two football challenged men are leading a search for the next HC. Forgive me if I'm not overly optimistic. Maybe they'll get lucky. But if they're really smart they'll realize that they have no business picking a HC and they'll hire a REAL GM, not a glorified scout with a fancy haircut, and let him run this football team.
Fisher did not hire Snead and Fisher didn't know him well before they came on board together.
Demoff knew Snead and that's why he had the inside track on the job. Fisher just needed to go into one meeting with him and give his seal of approval. Everyone knew in that meeting that Fisher had final say on all personnel matters, so I don't feel bad for Snead because he basically signed on to be Fisher`s yes man. These guys never had a relationship with one another prior to both being hired. Fisher and the Rams would have been better off with the Tennessee guys Fisher apparently wanted as his GM and had relationships with (Dawson, Webster), but they ended up taking promotions in Tennessee instead. Probably wise decisions on their behalf`s, lol.
Demoff was also was a huge part of the Fisher hiring and Fisher was given full control.
Kroenke needs to bring in a proven winning NFL Exec/GM and let him run the show for him in this hiring process and he and Demoff stay out of it for the most part.
