Given enough time every organization mimics it's leader.
McNair has created a confused and indecisive organization. As fans we still don't know who has responsibility for what function - and this is not a new thing - we still don't know who was making draft picks all the way back to the end of the Casserly era. Watching hard knocks reinforced this: that whole process around the last cut struck me as two men trying to convince themselves they were doing the right thing, with neither really sure what they or the other wanted. It was like me and my wife trying to decide where to go for dinner, "well what do *you* feel like eating?"
McNair needs to rip this structure up. Smith needs to go. If he wants to keep O'Brien, then that's fine but his remit need to be clearly defined: The head coach tells the GM the kinds of players he wants, the GM sources the talent and the HC does the best he can with them. If the talent sucks, fire the GM. If the results suck, fire the HC. This wishy-washy joint (in)decision making process is a joke, and a structure in which a politician like Smith can hide and deflect, and whisper. Define and fill the roles and let them execute. Pick a QB and run with him.
So tired of this nonsense.
