Agreed. I don't believe Payton wants a GM who he has to babysit. Yes, Payton may have the ability to have the final say in some matters but I am sure he will not throw that around haphazardly.I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the GM role. I think that the best GMs -- the guys who survive for 15-20 years in the role -- are great managers. Even elite talent evaluators are slaves to draft positioning and available prospects. Successful teams inevitably have a brain drain of assistant coaches and front office staffs. Good GMs make good decisions about (1) who they want around them in terms of directors, scouts, etc., and (2) where and how to allocate resources on the roster.
This second factor is driven mainly by the vision for a team, not the next team. Sometimes a good GM will have a clear vision for what makes a good team and the head coach he selects will share that vision. I think it's better in the long run to have a head coach that has a clear vision and a GM who can start slotting talent to fit the vision.
I don't mind creative conflict between HC and GM, as long as the vision is shared.

Even if he wants Oline at 3 or wants to trade down to get his guy?Whatever Sean wants , should he come here, I want.
3-4There's been talk of Fangio as DC.. another failed head coach in Denver much like the current DC. No idea of Fangio's scheme as compared to VJ
It is a lot better. A lot. Like 100x.There's been talk of Fangio as DC.. another failed head coach in Denver much like the current DC. No idea of Fangio's scheme as compared to VJ
Some coordinators excel at just that and not HC's. Fangio is that.There's been talk of Fangio as DC.. another failed head coach in Denver much like the current DC. No idea of Fangio's scheme as compared to VJ
One thing about Fangio is that likes to rush the passer with 4 defenders.
It's the old, don't let him out of the building without signing situation. I'd rather be in that, then let him go elsewhere and get that kind of pitch.Do we want to be the first interview?
Yup, like Wade Phillips.Some coordinators excel at just that and not HC's. Fangio is that.
I can't believe one of these guys could be our next HC!

I don't think Payton's going to get a #1 pick. I think it's all bluster.How did we give up Arians for nothing and Saints are asking #1 pick for Payton? Sheesh.
