the bio may be incorrect but it directly contradicts your assertions.
No it doesn't.
I said Snead does not make the personnel decisions unilaterally.
The bio does not state he does that. Unless you think whoever wrote doesn't know English well enough to actually say it.
He directs personnel decisions. That does not make him the sole decider.
In comparison Roseman is given sole credit for building the Eagles. No one says he "directs personnel decisions." They say he built the team.
Snead is in on every personnel move because he's supplying the info and evaluations and is the one who talks to other GMs and trades. But he's not a team builder the way Roseman is. All major decisions and actions are done collaboratively and there's work there to be on the same page and to have consensus.
When the bio says "Snead builds the team on the basis of his vision and takes credit for doing that," I'll listen.
It says he;s the guy who directs and organizes all personnel decisons--which means he runs the process, he does not dictate the decisions.
Which we already knew after years of reading about their drafts and trades and free agent signings.
Let's put it this way. Can you imagine a scenario where Snead says "hey coach you wanted a veteran 3rd TE, this guy is tradeable" and then McVay says "no don't want him." Is that scenario possible? Yes of course it is. Now is it possible that Snead would shrug and make the trade anyway? I REALLY doubt it.
Snead organizes and represents the personnel input. If McVay (and Kromer and Wade) trust him then it's a smooth process. Obviously they do, and obviously it is a smooth process. But that's not a team being built his way by his own unilateral moves, the way Roseman operates.
And btw I'm glad it's that way. Collaborative work like that allows for a better all around internally shared team vision. There's several architects all on the same page. Sounds good to me and I like the results.
