Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

[AnonEmouse]

Yeah I think the principle of the ideal situation is that the GM, HC and head of scouting should work hand in glove when it comes to the final decisions. HoS should get a clear direction form the GM what types of player to prioritise, come back to him with a list, reports etc. then GM agrees with HoS who to focus on in that list. HC should be working with the the GM to stay aligned on where the strengths and weaknesses are on the current roster, to inform that focus. GM should be scouring the league for FA's, potential cuts etc. to inform the HC what he thinks the team should list as active targets, with the GM informing the list re cap space etc. Then they should all sit down at each key stage of the year and agree the final shape of those lists. GM has sign off in teh end because he controls the purse strings, but he cannot and should not be doing it alone.

The issue with a coach holding that GM power is that he is trying to balance the books and the roster at the same time. Like a HC also being OC/DC (not just calling plays, though I don't think a HC should be calling plays either), I don't see how they can do both jobs to the fullest capability. It's a recipe for burnout and/or failure.

Any HC is going to want to have some say into player acquisitions .. Dan and his goons pretty much picked who they wanted regardless of the coach opinion and look what happened.. We could do a lot worse than Vrabel as HC .

Having a say and wanting equal or final decision making power are not the same things. I would imagine most GM's/HC's work together to build the roster. But the GM is at least 51/49 on final roster decisions.

Harbaugh to Chargers. It’s official. I actually thought we should pursue him. The record is undeniable.

I think he's a perfect fit for San Diego. Good for the Chargers.

Michigan got their title.

Harbaugh seems to be plenty of things, but he's smart and a damn good football mind.

Our HC is going to be Aaron Glenn or Mike Macdonald. My predictions, based on nothing but guessing and gut.

For all you Ben Johnson fans, here’s a great read.

I agree on everything but the last two sentences. His track record is undeniable and he is a great coach, but the last guy we gave the entire operation over to with majority control failed us so it's natural we would look for a different direction. I think Harbaugh is one of those guys who isn't going to sign on to any program where he doesn't have full control.

I'm leaning towards Ben Johnson as HC - I think there's some fire to those reports. They acted quickly with Peters and the only thing holding this up is Detroit making the final four. I'm secretly hoping they go all the way - it would be beneficial for BJ to get that SB experience.

I have fond memories, iirc wasn't that Santana who mossed him in 05 on Monday night? Thanks for your contribution to probably my favorite Skins highlight.

[skinsfaninok]

Ben Johnson is the Vegas favorite to be our next HC , Looks like its a lock folks

[skinsfan69]

I think it's pretty obvious that Johnson is our guy.

Wait, that was in 2005?
We’ve been suffering for a while.

Yes, Moss ran by Glenn twice!
