Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

[GridIron26]

Per Schefter, The Commanders have requested to interview Chiefs assistant GM Mike Borgonzi, 49ers assistant GM Adam Peters, and Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby per multiple reports.

Gotta love what we are doing now. We definitely are not wasting any time.

Hopefully these interviews can happen asap even though some guys are employed by teams still alive in the playoffs. Sounds like they are turning over every actual rock in the football landscape, that is going to take a long time. Gotta start as close to today as possible.

I like that all of the top candidates are in the conversation.

In the past there was no way we'd have a shot at even sitting down with most of these guys. It's a whole new ballgame without Snyder.

I had a coworker as in a meeting today if I was interviewing to be head coach of the Commanders. I told him those days are behind us my friend.

This is so true. We'd probably be looking at Josh McDaniels & Arthur Smith as our top candidates right now.

It's like playing a video game, where to advance to the next objective we need to find the key so we can unlock the door.

The key was Snyder selling, and now we've unlocked the door. No telling how many bright minds declined an interview here because they didn't want to work for Snyder.

I like to think Ron played some role in convincing Dan to sell. At some point someone probably had to convince him to take the money and run. And for that alone, I thank Ron. This time feels different.

He would be a seamless fit with Eugene Shen. Add Joe Hortiz as GM and the trio of former coworkers would get off the line faster than a Corvette.

For the first time in a while, I truly feel optimistic for this team.

When jamf is being optimistic, we're really going places! That's a rare sighting around these here parts.

A thorough listing of all the candidates we're going to be interviewing

I know Twitter is a cesspool but I find it useful for keeping up with all the various sports reporters I follow.

I think in the NBA, if I went to the store and bought a puzzle, the NBA puzzle is like 20 pieces. The NFL puzzle trying to put that together is a 100-piece puzzle. That’s to me the fascinating part about the NFL. There’s offense. There’s defense. There’s special teams. There’s the salary cap. The way they structure deals!”

Good read on Bob Myers. He was not responsible for drafting Steph Curry or Klay Thompson but it's clear he had a big role in making those championship teams that won 4 titles in 6 appearances. Yes - he's not an X's and O's guy but he knows leadership and what's necessary to win consistently.

Another quote from this Athletic piece on him.

But as long as you don’t break. You have to view it almost as like a family — that no matter what happens, we’re blood, and we’re going to see it through. But that’s a challenge, because you’re really not blood, but you’re as close as you can get, ’cause you’re with each other all the time.”

I get what he is saying but I am rolling at the analogy of a 20 piece puzzle vs a 100 piece puzzle. That had me laughing
