What makes anyone think they can repeat their success with another team?

Don't you think that past success is indicative of future success? I'd say you'd have to have more faith in them than in someone who has NOT gotten it done at the highest level. We're not talking about guys who had a good year or two. They've demonstrated consistent skill at managing a NFL team.

Not always, especially in the field of sports where you are but one component of a very large puzzle. I just think you guys give GMs way too much credit.

Maybe we do, but we better get someone in here with an idea of how to run a football team and a specific plan on how to run ours. Let that guy run the team. Mr. Snyder has already shown that he's not the most patient person when it comes to dealing with coaches.

I think Joe Gibbs was the only COACH that was going to put air brakes on the Danny Boy Free Agent Jet Express. We need a strong GM with a big time reputation to keep Snyder somewhat in check, IMO. If he starts his immitation Jerry Jones routine (a poor one) again, we are screwed. Combination Coach/GM has not been a superbowl formula the last few years, unless I'm mistaken. Pats-GM, Colts-GM, Steelers-GM, Patriots-GM, Patriots-GM, Tampa Bay-GM, Baltimore Ravens-GM. That's the last 7 superbowl champs, all employing a GM. I think that makes a pretty strong argument.

Indicative maybe, but not a guarantee. It's like the disclaimer at the bottom of every stock or mutual fund recommendation.

"Past performance does not predict future performance."

For the first time in 4 years I may join the "We need a GM" bandwagon, pending notice of who is going to be our next HC.

Laugh all you want about Cameron but that guy will be a winner. On another subject I wouldn't be surprised if Bugel also steps down. How do Gregg Williams and Al Saunders get along? Wasn't there some kind of distance between the O and D? How about ego's, if Williams gets the job who's to say Saunders won't step down cause he didn't get it?

Cam has free time now.

I bet this IS him.

He's probably registered on Ravens and Falcons forums too.

No I'm not, I guess most of you all could have said the same thing about Gibbs when he was hired after being the OC of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in the 70's. Watch the offense of the team that hires him, if Garrett leaves the Cowboys and they hire him watch what he'll do.

His record at Indiana and in Miami says otherwise. He's no Norv Turner, oh wait..

I guess some people are just immune to reality.

Feelings summed up in monosyllabic words:

FUCK. WOW. NEXT?

Ok, we have got to promote from within. Continuity is the key to success. My money is on GWill, hopefully with Al as the asst.
