LET'S GO KWESI!
His background is in research/development/analytics, but learned contract negotiations and the scouting world with the Browns.
Rumor now is that the Vikings are going to go after DeMeco Ryans for HC. Stay tuned.
"Kwesi balled up several pieces of paper and began launching them toward the waste basket. He missed 4 of 5" said janitor Phil McCracken.
It was at this point I decided to reach out to Princeton to see if he really played college basketball.

I think it is Hackett or O'Connell before Ryans. From my source.

It could be O'Connell, but I don't think Hackett. Its either Ryans or O'Connell.

Hackett might be the man in Denver.

Works for me. I am not sold on Hackett.

Literally game day.
so there are only like 7 names in Ghana? how fucking confusing must that be.

Heads will be exploding...
Goodell, Stephen A Smith, and every pundit on ESPN will absolutely shit themselves in inclusive ecstacy if this were the case. Talk about doubling down on a gamble though. I just want to win, and if they do, I'll say I was wrong and salute the hires. If this blows up, then the Wilfs deserve to be skewered relentlessly for hiring two people with such limited football backgrounds to run their organization. Let's see how this plays out starting with this off-season, which should be an interesting one with a lot of big decisionsEvery hire is a gamble. There are no guarantees. Same with every draft choice. Everyone, including the decision makers who hire, will be scrutinized for whether their choices pan out or not. Why would this be any different?
Agreed, but this is a huge out of the box hire based on backgrounds and experience...so if this blows up, the Wilfs should be scrutinized at a higher level. I don't believe he was the most qualified person for the job and I certainly won't be alone in that assesment. To me it's in the same wheelhouse as the Raiders bringing in Mayock as their GM a couple years ago. I hope it works. All we can do is sit back and watch this thing unfold
what would scrutinizing the Wilfs accomplish? there have been absolute shit owners in the nfl... and most of them are still owners after decades of scrutiny.
I like that it's a 4 year contract. He gets 1 year to reset things and then go from there. That sort of set up makes sense.
So the OP begs the question: Is it Queasy? Or Kwayzee?
Can someone tell me why the Vikings website has NOTHING on both being hire?? Only A Wolf update on the ongoing search for a GM and HC?? Weird - why don't they have all sorts of stuff up yet?

Or, for old Looney Tunes guys, I like to think of Elmer Fudd saying crazy.

I typically write my own stuff, but consider yourself on the short list for senior staff writer.
No time to be swapping out scouting staff.
