Adam Caplan's nice write up on GM candidates (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=267079)

Tom Gamble's write-up blows everyone else's out of the water. But that's probably just the opinion of the writer.

Still... would be hard to go wrong with him.

Looks to me like the writer wanted to do a feature on Gamble and then added the others. Wish he would have treated them all the same way.

Who the GM or HC chooses to sign or draft is the fault of the director or vice president of pro personnel?
At least they found a QB later in the draft that has been able to start and win a game for them.

3. Wolf (seeing as he's been promoted above Highsmith in the same organization)

Why do you guys love Ross? Have you all looked at his drafts since he has been in charge? They are pretty bad. He hits on 1st rounders only.

A little on Marc Ross, who I think is currently primed as a GM. I'd really like to see the Chiefs get this guy. Young, but not too young, smart, experienced, played the game (offensively as a receiver), etc. He's got a real nice list of credentials.

Quote:

Marc Ross is in his fifth season as the Giants’ Director of College Scouting. Ross is in charge of the Giants’ college scouting department and the team’s draft. He joined the organization on May 18, 2007 and ran his first organizational draft the next year, when the Giants selected Kenny Phillips, Terrell Thomas and Mario Manningham, among others.

Ross came to the Giants from the Buffalo Bills, for whom he spent three seasons as a national college scout.

Ross’ first NFL job was as a public relations training camp intern with the Giants in 1995. After leaving camp, Ross worked in Columbia University’s athletics department.

Ross returned to the NFL with the Eagles’ personnel department during the club’s 1996 training camp. He was the team’s eastern regional scout from 1997 until 2000, when, at age 27, he became the NFL’s youngest college scouting director. During his tenure in Philadelphia, Ross was responsible for drafting such outstanding NFL Players as Brian Westbrook, Lito Sheppard and Derrick Burgess.

After seven years with the Eagles’ organization, Ross joined the Bills in the spring of 2004 as a national college scout.

Ross was an All-Ivy League wide receiver at Princeton in 1993 and 94. He holds five school records, including one as a receiver (a 20.2-yard average per catch in 1993) and four as a punt returner (most career returns, 74; most career return yards, 696; most returns in a season, 32 in 1994 and most yards in a game, 161 on six returns vs. Cornell in 1994).

Ross earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Princeton and a master’s degree in sport management from the University of Massachusetts in 1997.

Eric DeCosta has to be option #1.

Not Leaving Baltimore.

Many said the same thing about Fat Scott not leaving New England in 2009.

Out of that list, Tom Gamble hiring Vic Fangio make the most sense.

I think that would be a formidable combination, if it were to happen.

The problem with all those guys is, like Hackoli in New England, they've never had final say. Therefore it's impossible to determine whether they had anything to do with their teams success. I wouldn't touch anyone with a 10 foot pole who doesn't have a previous history of having final say. I'm not sure I'd be averse to giving The Big Show another chance to run a football team as he appears to have that Cleveland team on track all things considered.

This times eleventy billion. Would be just as happy with Gamble/McCoy. Wish someone could get this article into Clark's hands.
