What happens with Kyle Smith?

Ron has never been in this position before. He doesn't know anymore than we do, how this will unfold. This is like a chain of command with a cable splitter/splicer.

I was a huge fan of the Rivera hire and still am. But this setup still has me a bit nervous.

That being said, even if Kyle leaves, I'm still more excited for the future than I have been in a while. I'd prefer a bit different set-up, but we now have more professionals in the building. And hopefully more buffers between Ron and Danny Boy.

There are no "buffers" between Ron and DS. DS is the owner, and Ron is running shit. Similar to - Kraft owns the Patriots, and BB is running shit.

I really hope this is and stays the case.

Well I sure hope Ron knows more than we do or we are in real trouble ...

Or we're all geniuses.

That’s a wrap folks. Lock the thread.

Per @JasonLaConforta “Hearing the WFT has moved on from former top personnel exec Kyle Smith and is also making significant changes to its college scouting staff”

Well, let's see... (leafing through website pages)... no, that's not it. :)

Pretty sure Ron has forgotten more football than most of us will ever know.

While he maybe right on this, JLC and Chris Russell are 2 of the least reliable when it comes to WFT news. Personally I will wait for Keim, Rappaport, or Finlay to say it is a wrap. Typically scouting staff changes come after this year's draft, so my guess and expectation would be that any major changes come after that - unless KS receives a top notch offer.

How about this then?

Cooley on Kyle Smith via @SheehanPodcast: “Ron wanted nothing to do with anyone that shook hands with Bruce Allen in that building, they are all gone....Bruce Allen culture, See ya!”

Can't complain too much about that plan.
