New GM Candidates?

[Boone]

It seems highly likely that the Harris Group will name a new General Manager after the 2023 season wraps up. I believe this will be their next big step regardless of how the 2023 season goes. That individual will need time to evaluate the current front office and coaching staff, and to make any changes deemed necessary before critical league activities for 2024 start up.

I have seen almost no speculation on who the best future GM candidates might be, although George Carmi throws out a few names here...

That was taken from Ben Standig’s interviews of player agent’s that was in The Athletic. There were several questions in the article; best talent evaluators, most trustworthy, best overall GM, in addition to those to watch for in the future.

Not knowing anything, it seems like the first place to look would be at the talent rich teams. Do the 49ers or Eagles have anyone promising? There have also been some teams killing it on the trade front.

On that list, I saw someone from the Colts and they may be good, but when is the last time you looked at the Colts roster and said, “Damn!”

Yeah, I agree it's kind of a quandary, right? You can't base a selection purely on association with a highly successful team, because there is no way of knowing how big a role any one individual had in their success. Take a team like the Chiefs and take Andy Reid and Pat Mahommes away, and they might be a disaster. Of course, someone was responsible for those 2 moves, but they likely aren't leaving. By the same token, the 'next great GM' may currently be part of a bad organization like the Colts or the Cardinals.

I would think a choice would have to be driven a lot by the opinions of highly respected executives throughout the league and maybe a lot of interviewing?

I wouldn’t mind talking to the 49ers or Eagles Asst. GM’s if Harris & Co are interested in a newbie.

I have heard Lewis Riddick bandied about in GM discussions.

I’ve wondered all along if they have some people in mind. I’ve also wondered if they have a plan to bring in Jim Harbaugh as the coach. His leaving not leaving Michigan seemed like he had something that didn’t pan out. As long as this sale took, they couldn’t make changes for this upcoming season. You would think you wouldn’t make a big purchase like this without having a plan. So I think they have some guys they have discussed this with (not in the league since that is not legal), or they know who they want to talk with after the season.

What’s their plan?

Plan?

A lot of our best drafts were when he was running point

I know a lot of heads will explode with my comment, but look at Dallas. Who is doing the scouting and selecting?
Dallas has the highest number of players drafted still on its team as compared to all of the other teams, and the highest number of players drafted still active league wide. Is Steve Jones the genius here? there must be someone else in the organization doing the heavy lifting.
Some will choke on this, and cite Norv Turner as a failed example, but his teams were good, competitive and a playoff team when
Snyder took over.
You need a GM and a Coach who are in sync together.

HTTR!
