Not always, I would say the GM/president of football ops reports to the owner and the HC reports to the GM.
I can't find the tweet but someone mentioned the traditional structure is that Team President runs football and business ops, president of football ops runs the GM/roster building, GM is usually in charge of/part of the roster-building ops.
There's still a lot of unanswered questions about how this power structure works but the key thing for me is making sure that Ron + whoever (whether Kyle Smith gets a promotion from college scouting) or we bring in someone as GM, or Team President, or President of Football Ops, they all have to be on the same page about how to build the team. We can't have any more situations where Dan or the next Bruce Allen sends word down that he wants this player that doesn't mesh with what the coaching staff wants.
My other thing is I hate to say it but I think Doug Williams needs to go. The interview where he talked about how scheme fit wasn't a factor in signing Landon Collins really turned me off to the idea that he knows what he's doing. If you're going to pay a man 84 million dollars why the hell wouldn't you want to make sure his strengths align with yours?
