Cardinals Hire Titans' Monti Ossenfort as New GM

[Timm Rosenbach]

He seems incredibly organized and disciplined. The opposite of Keim

 

[jbjarko]

Makes ya realize how big Keims ego was. This guy is humble AF.

"The Cardinal Way"

I like him. He is a bit nervous, but this is his first time in this type of situation.

"we're looking for a head coach that can lead this entire organization."

when asked if the HC will be hired with Kyler in mind.

Ego = PEDHop in this context?

 

[jbjarko]

I’m loving this guy. His “nice to meet you” seems so genuine.

I was thinking Kyler but that makes sense too.

 

[Cardinal88]

I really appreciate the guy being honest. In a big dog world, for him to admit he had two degrees and living in his parents basement, opened up a little more about who he is. Honest and a little funny too.

 

[unseenaz]

I was thinking Kyler but that makes sense too.

I think it's a shot across the bow to all players. Budda was pretty vocal that players weren't putting in the required work.

It's a fair point although I doubt many 22 year olds think much past Brady, BB, dynasty and superbowls. Hard to turn that down for the Texans.

That's why these guys have agents to help the optimize their opportunities.

Says interview is scheduled with Vance Joseph, casting a wide net for other candidates...

LOL. Everyone is aligned.

Yep. And I think there’s a very specific reason he mentioned Budda by name.

some themes i found interesting:

Owner -- GM -- HC -- completely aligned and a collaborative approach

Ego will not be tolerated

Sustainable success


they are basically mom and apple pie, but it tells you what wasnt happening

And here I thought he said “Eno”.

 

[FB94]

At least he didn’t say he looks at team captains as a trait when drafting a player

 

[TheCardFan]

Sounds like he has a plan - from the coaches, to players, to equipment managers, to the kitchen staff. I believe that is the same message from Brian Flores (one of Brit's videos he posted today). Must be a Patriot thing.

He is definitely not comfortable in that setting - wonder how that translates into a room of 52 grown men/millionaires.

He said no ego - that could be several different people across the org. Keim, Kyler, players, etc.

Brian Flores seems to have an ego based on the interview I mentioned above. He was asked what he would have done differently (looking back at time in Miami) and he said nothing. He has his way and that's that. Paraphrasing of course. Tomlin's interview was the opposite of that IMO, which is why he has been successful for years.

Good news - he didn't say "Bird City".

Mentioned they would be interviewing those that they have been granted permission to interview...both from teams in the playoffs and still employed (that's Payton).

So weekly teams meeting with GM and Coach separately and Bidwill will be the middle men. Good luck.

I want to know who came up with Bird City? The idiots at PHNX ?

 

[TheCardFan]

He fumbled the diversity question.

 

[football karma]

big picture observation:

he strikes me as a "process, system and management" guy vs. a bunch of individual contributors in evaluating players

 

[RON_IN_OC]

And here I thought he said “Eno”.

Maybe Eno's ego??? If you ever followed him on Insta, he has a pretty high view of himself.

I thought he did fine after the 1st couple of questions. He didn't seem to fumble his words or need to backtrack on anything he said.

I missed that...What was it?
