O’Connell has Louis Riddick’s seal of approval:

Of course he does. Its no secret Riddick wants the GM job.

need to hire Lou as well
No, we don't. While I would prefer just about anyone over Bruce Allen, Riddick has not done anything to indicate he's capable of being a GM. There are GM openings every offseason... yet I can only recall the Giants as interviewing him. And he evidently didn't do very well because they ended up giving Dave Gettleman the job.

Riddick - honestly dont know too much about him but my inner reptile doesnt like him. I assume Bruce was the one who was feeding national media regarding Jay not wanting Haskins and how Jay is being "vindictive" for not giving him reps with the 1s and how it was never really an open competition for QB in the PS.
I also assume Riddick was the main national media guy that was spewing Bruce's poison the most, saying Jay had an agenda by not starting him .. then Jay had an agenda by putting him in the NYG game.
Double assumption and hot take by me .... why is Riddick now not crushing Callahan for not starting Haskins and saying he might not start all year? Certainly the war drum beat to start Haskins and end "Jay's agenda" should be louder after Jay had been fired?
Why would Bruce be feeding Riddick info when he could be in line to take his job?

Hmmmm ... still piecing this one together.
Alright I got it. Its much more complicated than that.
Bruce knew that Dan was not happy about Haskins not getting the red carpet treatment by Jay so Bruce went about trying to sabotage Jay and get him an early termination.
Who does Bruce go to? Who does he know in the national media with a connection to the Skins that would do all of his evil bidding? Tito Leibowitz, he was a small time ... er Louis Riddick, a small time team personnel guy who was itching for a GM job and Bruce knew would say or do anything he asked.
Bruce knows he needs to bring in a GM type this offseason so who better than the lackey himself, Louis Riddick. Someone Bruce wont have to worry about starting a coup against him, Louis Riddick is a company man.

I'm more of the thought that Riddick was speaking out on his own and basically saying hey Dan, I see the problems you're having, I know how to fix them, call me

O’Connell. His playcalling is getting better and better, especially when not interfered with by Callahan and before that Gruden.
Callahan is showing how we will go 8-40 win-loss from 2020-2022 as he plays caveman football.

It's so painfully obvious Riddick has an agenda and that is why I don't want him. And it would be such a Dan Snyder hire to bring him in here. Bring in someone who likes the QB that Bruce and I picked.

Whoever they bring ion as GM must run the show without Lil Danny and Brucey telling him who to draft or trade or sign free agent...
The GM should hire the coach but I am curious how O'Connell would work out...
