I am hopeful they break the mold and bring in an outsider that doesn’t have a Pats or Texans history.
Monti Ossenfort is the best candidate interviewed regardless if he’s already part of the organization.
Is an assistant gm behind a good team a worthy candidate?
Is an assistant gm from a good team a likely candidate or is everything a toss up?
Does a gm get to choose his talent scouts?
Does an assistant do anything but carry a clipboard and be a gofer?
I have not read much about these things
She will find out who is calling the offensive plays if Henry runs 27 out of 30 on first down again
Why do people care so much if the GM is from outside the organization? Robinson was outside the organization. The vision and strategy for the team is much more important. Not sure why people think the inside guys are clones of Robinson.
And the team will know better than anyone if those guys were proven right over JRob routinely.
Probably because of the Titans history of promoting within for most positions over the years and it rarely working out.
fwiw - a ~12min vid of Cunningham with Poles (GM) on the road this year, around October. I'm sure other GMs and their assistants do siimilar stuff but this might give you an idea of their relationship. Poles talks a bit more about Cunningham near the end of the vid. RP was hired January 24 and Cunningham a couple days later.
I think people are fixated on recency bias. Smith worked out and Downing didn’t. Bowen seems to leveled off and become a solid DC. Robinson was not promoted from within and didn’t work out. Technically both Cowden and Ossenfort came from outside of the organization when Robinson hired them so they aren’t long-term in-house players.

Why wasn't he made the interim GM then?
He is not Titan material
Why would he want that job??? He is stuck with Murray for at least 2 yrs because of dead cap hits of 97mil and then 81 mil before it drops to 30 mil. Cards have also said they ae trading Hopkins and so they will be losing their best offensive player. With Watt retiring they lose a top defensive guy. They have no coach... a nightmare of a job.
If I were their GM I would totally plan to tank next yr to be able to draft a top QB and then let that QB sit a yr behind Murray and then trade Murray or cut him. Murray is never going to be an elite NFL QB.

Sure he is...lots of years with Texans AND Patriots
Because Cowden outranked him at the time. Chain of command thing.
Cunningham would be my choice now. Completely uninterested in the rest.
I’m usually dead on if you notice…
Don’t like any of the other candidates. Worst group ever assembled if that’s all they are interviewing. Pretty sure Vrabel is the new GM in actuality or they would be interviewing better candidates. Not sure it really matters who they hire. I would say that’s why Ossenfort took the Cardinals job. He knew Vrabel would be in charge of the roster.
