Next GM Short-List: Who's your pick and why?

[ziggysocki]

There is lots of talk about ***** getting the boot, but I haven't seen much about possible replacements. Who is available? Who would have a chance at success (not mediocrity) Who makes your short list of candidates?

I am not any kind of expert on NFL execs, but I want one how understands that modern NFL franchises need to build around a franchise quarterback.

I just want my Chiefs back... I miss caring about the game on Sunday.

What say you?

I like him as a prospect. That was the purpose of the thread.

Yeah, that sounds like a GREAT idea.

Hire a guy that's never worked in the NFL and ask him to rebuild your franchise through free agency and the draft because, well, he's smart and can figure it out.

Sorry, but no thanks.

That's fine if you want the standard Steelers, Giants, Ravens, Packers response. I'm cool with it.

I think the guy is smart enough to build a team. Look what he did with his own son. And I am assuming he coached up his son a bit as a young lad with the finer points of the game, because he knows what the finer points are.

So I think outside the box once in a while. Sue me!

Really young, and apart of an incredible organization. The Giants don't typically spend in free agency. He's the one who found Victor Cruz, drafted Nicks, Kenny Phillips.

I think he would also be a guy that wouldn't have any ties or any other bullshit where he picked from a shallow pool of candidates.

I'd go for this.

It needs to be done ASAP. Then quickly hire a PROVEN HC with connections so that he can cherry pick his coordinators from the failed & soon-to-be-fired HCs that were great coordinators.

Giants... franchise QB Manning

Steelers... franchise QB Roethlisberger

Patriots... franchise QB Brady

Buyers beware. Not saying it's a bad idea at all. But franchise QB's make a lot of things look pretty good.

Flacco is a franchise QB. No question at this point.

I'd tend to agree.

Too risky. Shut your face. We need a LT first

We should go after Archie Manning...right?

Probably could do worse.

"Thinking outside the box" is how Matt Millen had a job, as well as Marty Hurney (former sports writer).

The Chiefs NEED a GM that's been a proven scout and personnel director.

Not a guy that's never been either.

Agreed that a franchise QB is the quickest path to success in today's NFL, but I'd take that Giants d-line over ours any day and twice on Sundays.
