Another brief video with good relevant insight considering this past year.

Even Brit mentioned him early on

I think I am thinking of Flores from the Raiders.

 

[Harry]

Happy to hear this. Did the pros give any examples of his “finds?”

He talks about Slater in the video link I posted. I heard Mankins was his guy. Hard to say with input coming from so many places.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Looks like I will be typing in this abbreviation a lot over the next 5 or so years: MO

Can he drink me under the table? I really want to know.

We interviewed Brian Flores IIRC back when we hired Arians. He may have lingered in the brain of the worst owner in the NFL.

What rhymes with Ossenfort? I literally had to add it to my spellcheck dictionary. #OSSENFORTTIME! #BIRDCITYOSSENFORT

I'll keep thinking about it.

The generic 'MO' is probably already in place I would imagine lol

 

[QuebecCard]

Actually. Mike Jurecki just blocked me. I did good.

Betting he has more blocks than followers.

 

[AZfaninMN]

Sounds more like the suspicious alias one is looking for when they are trying to find a spy at a hotel

The wife asked if that was his porn name.

 

[vince56]

Betting he has more blocks than followers.

Wish I could say the same for guys like Cody Ford and Max Garcia.

Actually, sounds like one of those contacts from your movies Indy

Hey guys....


Keim is no longer the GM anymore. That's good enough for me.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Apparently someone doesn't like this hiring.

BTW, has there ever been a "journalist" this bad at writing a coherent thought?

I think he’s on the sauce with Keim.

Keeps talking about how they built a “playoff roster”

 

[QuebecCard]

Any scout worth their salt is already doing the work so I’m not sure they would be starting over per say.

Per se.

Unnecessary duplication and correlation at this point. Changes, if they come, will be after the draft. IMO.

 

[Stout]

Dude has 3 masters degrees...

By that measure, I should've been hired

 

[MadCardDisease]

By that measure, I should've been hired

He said Master Degrees not Master....

Never mind.

 

[Russ Smith]

This officially means Payton is out of the running for HC

Kind of agree Payton would almost certainly want input in the GM hire so unless he's endorsed this already, it probably means he's not coming here

Wilks.

Thanks for the correction lol

That being said I can’t imagine a guy getting his first lead gig and leaning on the staff of the guy who he’s replacing.

 

[Russ Smith]

Why does everyone assume it crosses off Payton? Has Payton ever said he wanted both hats?

no but to me he would definitely want input. It's why I never thought we'd get Payton in the first place because unless we hired him first, or he had some pre agreed package deal with a gm, we'd have a hard time hiring both at the same time.

Jurecki is going to get the papers, get the papers

 

[FB94]

Seem fine with the hire. Would be thrilled if he brings the nasty, physical mentality with the rebuild of the lines of scrimmage similar to what the Titans have had

 

[Russ Smith]

I actually like Flores, I think he's done a good job. There are some issues relating to stuff he said about Miami that might not have been accurate(can't tell) but I think he was a good coach. I think the current Dolphins are good largely because of him, the GM, and they added Tyreek Hill. But he mainly turned that team around.

If you said you can hire any coach you want, he wouldn't be my first choice, but I do think he'd be a good coach. The OC would be a big hire decision.

 

[Stout]

Hey guys....


Keim is no longer the GM anymore. That's good enough for me.

For me too. They went outside the organization, which is what I wanted. I really don't know these GM guys, so I don't know if it's a great hire, a terrible hire, or somewhere in the middle. We shall see.

To play devils advocate here - both Houston and Denver all ready have GMs and they are very much in the hunt for Payton.

 

[Red Bird]

I'll put you with the NE fans who didn't want Bill Belichick.

Not sure how you drew that conclusion but alright?

It will be weird to see a Cards team that has decent lines like an above average NFL team...I don't think I'm prepared for that.

That being said I can’t imagine a guy getting his first lead gig and leaning on the staff of the guy who he’s replacing.

I can see changes at senior management and coaching levels, but scouts can be dealt with after the draft.

With a hundred days or so before the draft and oodles to do between now and then, there really isn't any option but to lean on the work and workers in place.
