Cards hire new Assistant GM under Ossenfort

[Solar7]

I do feel bad for AW and QH since I liked both as players, and homegrown talent is always nice. I hope they get to continue their careers, whether it be here or elsewhere. But I can't say I'm loving their chances.

I've been pushing for an overhaul of the FO for a long time, so I can't be mad about this, and the Lions seem to be mounting a good charge to respectability.

I'm all for change. At the same time I think Harris and Wilson should be judged on their own merits and not punished for being associated with Keim.

Was hardly their fault Mike stuck with him.

Very enthused that "Batman" is hiring his own very qualified "Robin". The front office has been one of the worst in the NFL and needed new management.

This hire gives me some optimism that we'll like the head coach who is hired.

 

[BirdGangThing]

This dude sounds like a lifer, like he has no life because he's been doing this all his life. Like if you tried to mention some unknown prospect he'd come back and tell you what kind of grades they got in middle school and what they like on their pizza

Good write up here.

Arizona Cardinals hire Lions’ Dave Sears as Assistant General Manager

Reunites with Cardinals’ GM Monti Ossenfort as both were formerly Houston Texans’ scouts

t.co

wow, I can’t imagine living that life, missing so many of my kids events.

I think Harris will show up somewhere and make his way to a GM at some point.

Yep I looked it up and figured the same.

I thought it was funny that they blacked out the name but left his birthday, height, weight, position, the fact that he was a senior, and the school he went to….

 

[Krangodnzr]

Looks like a nice hire. This is close to what I wanted. Clean the house. Bring in fresh eyes.

Gives me more hope that VJ isn’t the HC because this speaks to more of a clean sweep transition from one era to another… thank God.

Yep I will be THE darkside of Vance is hired.

I didn't like his defense much as a coordinator, so why would he make a good HC?

 

[Ragnar]

to be honest I don’t really care. I’m sure they’re nice guys and AW is a Cardinal legend but it’s time to start winning not be nostalgic.

Excellent point!

I think it would be great for the both of them to mentor under a different regime.

I love this hire. LOVE IT. I lerve it. I luff it. With two “f”s.

Outside the organization. Both have been with multiple organizations and come from two different ones as their last stops (so different perspectives coming out if this past season). And the Lions have good young talent, importantly on the oline in particular.

Why does it feel like this organization should of made these type of changes years ago?

 

[blindseyed]

I really like the part about him hitting on Oline talent, our trenches are full of cement

Keim was apparently spiking Mikey's drinks with whatever pills he was on that day.

Article is very spot on. Brother in-law was scout for about 18 years before moving to director player personnel. Still, then he spent many hours on the road scouting. Urban came in and cleaned out about everyone. Now he's head national scout for another team.

Not that AW isn’t, but Harris is a very sharp guy. I expect him to do very well in someone’s FO.

 

[dscher]

its like Mike read the board about "the team needs an outside perspective"

I wonder this at times.. we've had a LARGE collective that have been on this position for a quite some time. If so, what a smart guy MB is becoming...

Hmmm…I believe, based upon this, that we know who will likely be our next HC, eh what?
