Floyd Reese Resigns...

I wonder if Fisher is going to become one of those all powerful mega coaches that wears every hat... like Mike Holmgren did for a while... you know, the kind of guy they talk about on NFL Live, you know... the coach with too much on his plate. Jeff is already Executive Vice President. It's not that far fetched of an idea.

Well, I guess we don't have to worry about Calico-type picks. (at least I hope not)... besides, for a time I was disenchanted with the whole idea of drafting for "value"... but then again, what do I know? I couldn't be a GM.

 

Well so was Floyd I believe so you probably shouldn't read much into that.

 

Calico looked better in college than he did in the NFL.
I hope Fisher makes better decisions.

 

The title at this point isn't that significant, but the next move the team makes will say a lot about the power structure...

Everything's falling into place my fellow fanatics...

 

all ik is if they hire Charley Casserly for the job i would lose it!!!

 

Steve Underwood was on 104.5 with some comments. I thought a few of them were very telling.

Underwood said he was the one who did most of the strategic salary cap planning. Also, it was a teamwide decision to win while the core was intact at end of their run and go through cap hell later in exchange. So clearly, anyone who has blamed Floyd for the Titans cap problems are blaming the wrong person.

Underwood said that whoever the new GM is, he shouldn't be "overburdened" with salary cap. Underwood has done a lot of that in the past, so clearly he is going to continue in that role and apparently have a bigger direct impact. IT sounds more like they are going to add a director of player personnel than an actual general manager.

He also compared Reese's departure to Bud firing Bum Phillips all those years ago despite his success, so clearly it was Bud's decision to let Floyd go. I don't think that's a big shock, but it wasn't simply Floyd deciding that he wanted to leave.

 

I wish Reese the best. I'm confident we'll get a solid new GM.
