Why was that article even written? Who goes after a guy like that if there isn't reason to? I haven't seen any articles about any other team's EVPFO.
I have a problem with him not because of the article, but because of what I've observed. He was hand in hand with O'Brien in the bad trades and bad contracts that turned this team back into an expansion franchise. Like his buddy McCown, he has no qualifications to be in the position he's in. And he's been the driving force in trying to get his buddy McCown into a position he's not qualified for, just like him. And I'm not real sure his buddy whom he brought over to be GM, is qualified for the job with the way he's conducted his 1st 2 job searches. But then, that could be because of his involvement as well.
I've never heard so much "culture" bullshit in my life the second this dude walked in the door. It's like a damn cult. I have zero issue with prayer, God, or any of that, but I do have a problem with a football team full of players who aren't very good at football.
I know players can have sour grapes when they leave a team and go to another, but man, all of the players who have left here having the same things to say about this organization? Cobb, Watt, Omenihu, Mercilus, don't know if Cunningham had anything to say or not. And that's just from players this year. I've worked for a company that made a change and things started getting worse. Yeah, you're not going to have pleasant things to say about them when you leave. I don't think it always has to be sour grapes. You can have legit complaints. And there's just too many players that have.
Too many reports out there of coaches not wanting to come here with him in the building. And again, that could just be agenda driven by a few reporters, but with everything else we've seen, it isn't hard to believe. And then look at who we just had to interview for HC, and the clusterfuck they worked themselves into on that, mainly because of dude pushing his buddy McCown.
You can look past all of that if you want, it doesn't make it all disappear to never have happened. And as long as he's in the building, whatever role they bullshit you into saying he has, I don't see this organization coming out of the hole they're in any time soon.
