love having those guys help with the search ,should really benefit us in long run

ESPN Reporting with
@wojespn
: In a sweeping overhaul, Commanders owner Josh Harris has hired two prominent executives – former Warriors GM Bob Myers and former Vikings GM Rick Spielman - to assist his group in searches for a new head of football operations and coach.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Not quite sure I get why he's involving Myers. Spielman on the other hand I feel like is a really good move.

It's not about X's and O's, it's about finding the right people to run an organization. Myers can help, the guy is a winner.

Exactly! I had to school some silly Cowboy fan who has no idea re: the hiring of Myers.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

@AndrewBrandt
Josh Harris hiring former Warriors GM Bob Myers to an executive role.
First outgrowth of leveraging his ownership/experience in other sports, bringing in a proven talent from the NBA. Don't need a "football guy" for team-building and culture change.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Most organizations and businesses hire people from myriad experiences. It provides a different lens for growth. We'd still have QBs that are shit at sliding if they didn't hire baseball coaches to teach them but that happened 30 years ago.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Feels like the Snyder era is officially over now and we finally have adults in the room running things.

@granthpaulsen
Commanders fans, thing about this juxtaposition:

For several coaching searches Dan Snyder would run these searches and do a lot of this on his own with Vinny or Bruce.

Today Harris has assembled a group including Myers, Spielman, Magic Johnson and others to help find his guy.

According to

"Bob Myers has already reached out to agent Don Yee about Harbaugh."

Whoa! The "bad boy" of football head coaches rears his ugly, talented head.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Even if they don't actually hire him...I do like that they are reaching out. Leave no stone unturned...

The RR era was even worse than we think.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Good point from JP:

@JPFinlayNBCS
That Josh Harris and the Commanders were able to announce Bob Myers and Rick Spielman as advisors this morning means those guys have already been working on this for sometime. Love that the new ownership is proactive and not reactionary.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

So is Bob Myers the new GM?

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

@jjones9
The Commanders aren't wasting time. In addition to head-coaching requests, they have also requested permission to interview Browns AGM Glenn Cook for their new head of football operations, source says.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

@John_Keim
Washington has asked for permission to talk to Bears asst GM Ian Cunningham , source confirms. Josh Harris met briefly with Cunningham at the accelerator program during the owners meetings last month.
@RapSheet first.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

@AdamSchefter
Commanders requested permission to interview Rams’ DC Raheem Morris for their head coach job, per source.

[quote=Chief X_Phackter;1356501]So is Bob Myers the new GM?[/quote]

Yeah, it's kinda interesting that they are already putting in requests to interview coaches for the head coach position prior to hiring a GM.. It is possible they are exploring the idea of partnering GM and head coach based on mutual interests (i.e., Lynch and Kyle S.).

[quote=MTK;1356463]It's not about X's and O's, it's about finding the right people to run an organization. Myers can help, the guy is a winner.[/quote]

Agreed. The Warriors culture is the vibe Harris is looking for. A team that is consistently in the conversation to win titles. I like the move. Guessing Spielman is there to help Myers with the more football-related matters.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Morris .. please just NO. His record 21-38
Jiffy lube is hiring ...I'm using the Jamf system for hiring .. if you ain't winning the tires are spinning .. Not cutting anyone slack !! NO Retread losers !!

Statement from Ron. Very classy - this is why you show courtesy as an organization. When was the last time you had a coach say this on his way out the door?

He's going to get another chance soon enough and he deserves one.

Relax dude. They are just kicking the tires. Don't read into it too much. Hate to say it but they might be just obliging the Rooney Rule on this one too.

21-38 and he DESERVES a head coach job ?? Really ? Not interested ..Ron winning percentage was .498 .. Morris is .338

By this logic Bill Belichick never deserved another opportunity after Cleveland.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

We need to let Harris have a chance to succeed prior to complaining about his hires (that haven't even happened yet). Let's let Harris higher whoever he thinks is best for all positions then see what it looks like over the next couple seasons. I can't see spending 2024 in any sort of negative light.

He's very highly regarded around the league and won a SB as DC with the Rams.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

Morris maybe the greatest DC of all time .. I'm looking at his Head coach record .. nothing more nothing less .. by the way I'm saying no to BB and he has to be considered as the best head coach of all time .. If a coaches won loss record doesn't matter then the skies the limit on guys that deserve another chance .. I guess Ron will end up a head coach somewhere yet again..

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

RR is very highly regarded around the league and went to two SBs as a coach.

He had his first HC gig at 33 years old, perhaps he just wasn't as ready as he is now. Players, coaches, and insiders have nothing but good things to say about him, safe to say those who know a lot more about these things than we do have positive opinions of him. Cooley has always talked highly of him too.

So new GM is not picking the coach?

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

[quote=Chico23231;1356528]So new GM is not picking the coach?[/quote]

This looks to be a situation where both the GM and HC will be in equal footing.

Re: Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread
 

[quote=Chico23231;1356528]So new GM is not picking the coach?[/quote]

I think they're exploring all options - maybe a scenario where the coach/GM are equals (maybe Harris has the veto power if they're split on a player). Idk - but it sure seems like all options are on the table. If they hired Harbaugh I'm positive he would want total control though.

Given how the search is happening, I doubt this would happen.
