The owner employs who he feels arr the right people to run things and let's them run it.

Its a pretty basic business model

Let's be like Oakland and fire GM's/Coaches every 2-3 years!

Damn, Knile must've ****ed Eric Bieniemy's wife or something.

whoops wrong thread.

Oh and, if you thought Reid/Dorsey would get the axe you're stupid. If anyone falls on the sword, it'd be Alex.

My thoughts as well.

Somewhat like cincy, just keep drafting and building.

Ready for more mediocrity and an Alex Smith led team with no first rd QB in 2016?

Woo!

Why can't they draft a first round qb?

The goal is to build the best and most rounded roster you can. With smith being movable after next season, I'd imagine qb would be pretty high on the list

And I also would like a first round qb go sit for a year.

Hell, build the roster more, make Smith look better then trade him. Win win

Here's a classic example....
A few weeks ago, Reid asked if he would give up playcalling. He basically said "**** no." Who makes that call? Because it sure sounds like Reid is calling every single shot. Everything we've heard leads us to believe Alex Smith is Reid's guy and this team hasn't shown any hint of wanting to bring in competition for that QB job.

I'm reminded of Dick Vermeil in St. Louis vs. Kansas City (and yes, I get that that was Lamar's team at the time). Vermeil didn't want to fire his inept OCs and was pissed off when St. Louis wanted to replace Tony Banks. Vermeil wanted to trade Faulk. The Rams went out and forced Martz onto Vermeil, traded for Trent Green despite Vermeil's wishes, and stuck with Faulk. The rest is history. That's how you counter a head coach who has way too much power. Can't help but wonder if things would have been different if Peterson didn't bend over backwards for vermeil by sticking with incompetent guys like Greg Robinson and Lynn Stiles.

Make it so number one.

Damn. Why'd I have to see this after such a great win?...

Hope you're right bud but I'll believe it when I see it

I'd prefer to be more like GB or Pitt or NE and just get it right when we hire a HC...

I think it is pretty obvious Reid is running the show, they hired him prior to hiring Dorsey. I seem to remember in Philly Reid didn't fire any of his staff very often so I am not expecting any change in regards to the staff.

And when they don't or have a history of doing things wrong, owners can step in when needed. Again, the Falcons are a classic example. Blank promoted Pioli, but he took over the head coaching search because he knew Pioli would march in the same Patriot jerkoffs. We don't want a Jerry Jones. But this front office has been on the extreme in terms of giving their GMs and HCs way too much power.
