The Titans perfect candidate will handle both sides of the ball. And special teams. And building maintenance. And cover the front desk phones.

lol patriots imagine trading a 1st round pick for a coach that you end up firing.

You'd think every team in the market would have both or at least one of them on the list. Like you gotta take a shot? Unless you just know you wanna low-ball and get some random mid tier or lower guy who you fire in 2 years anyway.

wilderthanmild posted:You'd think every team in the market would have both or at least one of them on the list. There was a thing from the Athletic earlier today about how one of the things that soured Titans owner Strunk on Vrabel was wanting more power/basically GM https://theathletic.com/5193909/2024/01/11/tennessee-titans-mike-vrabel-fired/ quote:• During the hiring process to replace GM Jon Robinson, who was fired by Strunk late last season, Vrabel made two comments to Strunk that created friction between them, three team or league sources said. Vrabel wanted full control over the roster, saying that he’d earned it, and Strunk pointedly disagreed. Strunk has carried a belief over the years that head coaches shouldn’t have full control, pointing to the way things went for the Titans in the later years of Jeff Fisher’s tenure, and watching from afar the issues that transpired for the Patriots with Bill Belichick and Bill O’Brien with the Texans. So with that in mind it at least does make sense/is consistent that in a big pool to look at for replacements, she doesn't want the two people most known for wanting to be both HC and GM

Roster control is pretty common for any reasonably tenured head coach, and Vrabel asking for it because he didn’t want another dipshit to trade away his best player is entirely reasonable. If your coach doesn’t want the guys your GM is picking it’s not going to be a very successful relationship. Belichick was basically running scouting himself which is a different thing because he was a lovely scout. But the GM running scouting and making a list and then getting together with the coach who makes final decisions about who he wants seems like the way most successful teams run.

I don’t think many NFL coaches have roster control, especially with two of the most notable ones just got canned. Who else has it? Shanahan I think?

I wish that Strunk had taken the podium instead of sending Ran out there and just said “We fired Mike Vrabel because he inherited a playoff team and four years later 7-10 and 6-11 is not good enough.” They’ve really mishandled this firing in an attempt to not drag a well-liked coach. The Titans are well worth a LOL given how they’re handling this, but Vrabel’s got a shine to him right now that I don’t think lasts. That 2021 season was extremely well-navigated due to the injuries, but dude’s roster and staff management has been terrible, and if you think he doesn’t own a good part of the lovely decisions people are laying at the feet of Jon Robinson, then you’re forgetting he was in every room J-Rob was. Maybe he jumps into the Patriots and ends up building them back up into a powerhouse. But given how he couldn’t maintain a good team, I think that’s the less likely outcome.

Payton had final say in NO and he certainly will in Denver as well. I’m sure McVay and Reid do as well. Like I said, the idea that there’s any reasonably successful coach who doesn’t have final say over who plays for him is ridiculous.

Yeah, the way things were described in Seattle was Carroll picking from a menu that Schneider assembled for him. Coaches want input into roster decisions.

I think the opposite would be something like Philly where it seems pretty clear that Roseman has roster control.

Input and control are different things. Vrabel having full roster control would be bad. It’s not like he didn’t have any pull, he was the one who wanted Deandre Hopkins here and got him even though the FO was wanting a bigger tear down.

Simplex posted:I think the opposite would be something like Philly where it seems pretty clear that Roseman has roster control. Yeah good point. It’s generally pretty obvious when the coach doesn’t have final say on personnel because you get dysfunction and constant power struggles. Here’s how Veach describes how he works with Reid: quote:“We have worked together for so long that when I come to him and let him know what my staff and I are thinking about the guys we’re targeting. Then, I mirror that with the draft board, positions, and stackings. We’re trimming off all the fat for him and just giving him real information. Instead of watching 14 offensive linemen, coach (Reid) takes a peek at 2-3 of them that we’ll probably select. We’re not draining everything out of them by having him watch all this tape all this time, but instead just coming in to touch base with us.” Which sounds pretty similar to how Schneider and Carroll worked together and I imagine how it works in most every functional organization. The coaches don’t have time to do all of the scouting required so the GM office does the work of refining their targets and then gets with the coach to make final decisions.

Why wait a few weeks for a chance at Harbaugh or Belichick when you can start getting your new HC installed much sooner?

I'm sure I've heard Brandon Beane talk about the roster process in Buffalo beginning with the various coaches putting together both their needs and the attributes they want in the player for a given position. It's then his job to go and find the best available players that fit. I've seen nothing to suggest final decisions are anything but mutually decided. It seems to me that a good HC-GM relationship has to be collaborative. If one side is continually having to pull rank, such that 'final roster control' is more than a technically, it's probably not a partnership that is going to thrive long term.
