Coaching and Front Office Changes

[BigHairedAristocrat]

For what its worth, Chris Russell mentioned on his podcast yesterday that he had checked with multiple sources who said the skins still plan to make another front office hire (like a GM/Team President) after the draft. Kyle Smith's contract runs through June 2021, so he will definitely be here for the next two offseasons, but no word on if he got an extension along with the promotion recently. Snyder and Rivera are both very high on Kyle Smith, so bringing in someone else does not mean undermining Kyle in any way. Russell said he would not be surprised if Rivera brought in the Panthers GM to take on a team president/GM role or if they brought in AJ Smith as a consulting role.

This all seems very reasonable to me, but I wont put much stock in it unless Finlay and Kiem start reporting it.
