I have to say I am more than a little annoyed that we are this far into the offseason and have yet to hire a GM. This is beyond weird to me. A GM should be here to help layout the longterm vision of the team. They should be here even during offseason activities to see how things are unfolding and readying the team to implement the vision that they are bringing. I just cannot imagine running a business without a full suite of professionals to help steer the business and to do so without one of the most important positions on the staff. It's just..... headshakingly odd.

Is this thing STILL on?

GM or not, it's going to come down to who has control of the final 53. If it's O'Connell would these guys even take the job (You would most certainly be a glorified scout)? If it's the GM, how is that going to work with O'Connell? Enquiring minds want to know..

Well Mike they finally got it done, and by initial appearance got it right as well. As Millard said, kind of shocked that they actually went outside for the hire. Looking forward now, LFG…!!! 👍👍
