I'm curious as to just what role our scouting department actually plays in aquiring players, and to what extent their decisions matter. Because our FO is constructed without a GM it's difficult to determine just who is making the decisions. Our biggest problem could be in how many different people have a hand in the selection process. In most well run organizations, the scouting department makes recomendations to the GM, and after a process of evaluation players are chosen.
I agree with Kattyk in that CHANGE seemed to be the greatest obstacle last year. There were far too many differences to adjust too, players, coaches, injury, schemes and just overall poor play and execution on both sides of the ball. I also feel that since we won't be going into the season talking Super Bowl, it may aid in the players concentration and they won't be sidetracked by that culprit of overconfidence.
