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?

I don't understand how it could be a Flores thing, I really don't. The question I have is the timing of KAM's firing. Why then?

The Wilf operation imo has been in fuck around and find out mode since day one in 2005. Questionable moves and resulting awkward situations aplenty. No consistent playoff appearances, division titles or genuine contending teams (2009 excepted). They are good at their core business of real estate, so, hurrah.

If this g.m. search with umpteen candidates and a room full of interviewers that includes everyone but the janitor culminates in, "Well we're just gonna promote Brez now", then I'd say we're well positioned for the FAFO to continue.😎

Yeah, I've read all the complaining about the Wilfs.....I'm not a subscriber to that train of thought. Get in line with every other fanbase that hates their owners, which probably covers 85% of NFL fans. If any organization starts listening to their fans, couldn't think of a worse course of action honestly. Fans = bitching. Tale as old as time.

Bingo!!

The KAM firing timing I can't piece together. Could have come from a particular event or just a spur of the moment de-heading?

It doesnt really matter now, but I would still like to know what precipitated things.

One thing I am convicted about is that this comes from the KAM directive to KOC to start JJM. AND he admits blowing the Dimes discussions. That decision torpedoed the 25 season AND it threw McCarthy to the wolves b4 he was ready, so it hurt him too.

The Vikings’ GM search is reaching its final stages, with interim GM Rob Brzezinski and Bills assistant GM Terrance Gray having interviewed on Tuesday, and Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley, Broncos assistant GM Reed Burckhardt and Rams assistant GM John McKay scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. After that, it’ll be decision time.
